This coffee originates from the São Paolo and Paraná regions of Brazil, grown by Neto Ribeiro, Marcelo Valdevino, and Luiz Saldanha at Fazenda California and Fazenda Santa Maria farms. The beans are a blend of Catuai and Mundo Novo varieties, grown at elevations between 800-1100 meters. Naturally processed and sun-dried on patios, this dark roast delivers flavors of bittersweet chocolate, hazelnut, and creamy notes with low acidity and intense sweetness.
Bassline Coffee was founded in May 2020 by Bradley Katz, an audio video engineer whose custom sound system business was upended by the pandemic, along with co founder Greg Pescheret. Based in Oakland, California, the roastery produces small batches weekly at CoRo, a shared roasting facility in Berkeley that supports a community of roasting professionals. The range spans light through dark roasts, with notable blends including the Bassline Espresso (Brazil and Ethiopia) and the Piccino Blend, a dark roast collaboration with Piccino Coffee Bar in San Francisco. Wholesale accounts include venues across the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe.
