This organic coffee is sourced from the Santa Teresa region in Cusco, Peru, grown at an altitude of 1700-2000 meters. It is a washed coffee made from Caturra and Typica varieties. Medium roasted, it presents tasting notes of milk chocolate and caramel with a clean, sweet profile and moderate complexity. Certified organic and Fair Trade.
Big Creek Coffee was founded in October 2010 by Randy Lint, a former attorney and judge who could not find quality fresh roasted coffee in Montana's Bitterroot Valley. Starting in a 300 square foot space in Hamilton, the business expanded to a 4,000 square foot facility in 2019 housing dual Diedrich roasters side by side. All coffees are certified organic with no chemical additives, selected for seasonal availability, sustainable farming practices, and exceptional cup quality. The Coffee Review awarded three of their coffees scores above 90 in 2015, and the roastery has also won a Good Food Award for Best Roast. Big Creek distributes wholesale to all 50 states from its base in downtown Hamilton.
