The San Juan Trails Fundraiser Coffee is a specialty craft-roasted blend at a medium-dark roast level, supporting trail advocacy and maintenance in the Four Corners region. Available as whole bean or pre-ground. $5 from each bag sold goes directly to San Juan Trails, a non-profit trail advocacy and building organization. No specific origin details or flavor notes are listed beyond the roast level.
Founded in 1993 near Winter Park Resort, Rocky Mountain Roastery pioneered a distinctive high-altitude roasting philosophy that exploits the thin air at 8,550 feet to achieve what conventional sea-level roasters cannot. Their approach centers on deliberately long, slow, and deep roasting profiles that have remained unchanged since inception—a bold commitment to dark roasts in an era obsessed with light, acidic profiles. Now under Parker Thomson's stewardship since 2015, the roastery maintains its "anti-Starbucks" ethos while leveraging high altitude's unique physics: reduced atmospheric pressure that locks in coffee flavors while preventing excess moisture from corrupting the bean's integrity.
