This signature espresso blend combines Brazil Pulped Natural, Ethiopia Sidama, and Colombia Huila coffees. The blend features Bourbon, Catuai, and Ethiopian heirloom varieties processed using pulped-natural and fully-washed methods. The coffee offers nutty and chocolatey flavor notes and is designed for espresso. As a drip brew, it produces a smooth and balanced cup that stands up well to milk and sugar.
Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters was founded in San Francisco in 2011 by Trish Rothgeb and Nicholas Cho, two deeply experienced coffee professionals. Rothgeb, a licensed Q Grader and Q Trainer, was the first woman to earn Q Grader certification in the United States and is widely credited with coining the term "third wave coffee" in a 2002 article for The Flamekeeper. The company sources coffee through direct trade from origins including Bolivia, Congo, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Uganda. Roasting runs on a twice weekly schedule, with every detail from sourcing to packaging reflecting decades of craft and conviction about what specialty coffee can be.
