This is a single origin coffee from Mbeya in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania, produced by the Kifaru smallholder network at approximately 1,700 meters elevation. The coffee is made from Bourbon and Kent varietals and processed using the washed method with a peaberry selection. It features tasting notes of red apple and caramel with a silky body.
Achilles Coffee Roasters was founded in 2015 by Chad Bell in San Diego, California, named after his son. What started as a modest outdoor coffee cart in the Gaslamp Quarter grew within a year into a leased space in Cortez Hill, and the business now operates five café locations across San Diego County. All coffee is roasted in small batches locally, using beans that carry Organic, Fair Trade, and Rainforest Alliance certifications alongside direct trade relationships where possible. The roastery maintains 12 rotating single origin selections sourced from around the globe, with an emphasis on precision brewing methods including weighed espresso shots.
