Trailblazer is a blend of South American and African coffees. It is roasted to second crack, producing a deeply sweet coffee with smokey undertones, darker stone fruits, and chocolate notes. The flavor profile features dark chocolate and caramel. The specific lots used in this blend may change with coffee seasonality, but the deeply sweet flavor profile from South or Central America is maintained year-round.
Peaks Coffee Company was founded in 2014 by Kelsey and Sam during a winter snowstorm, beginning with the unconventional setup of roasting coffee in a cast iron skillet at home. The roastery expanded to a full sized roasting operation in their garage the following year, scaling thoughtfully while maintaining the hands on approach that defined its origins. Based in Syracuse, New York, Peaks sources through direct trade relationships with Colombian farmers and roasts all bags to order, ensuring freshness and allowing customization for individual customers. One dedicated roaster manages the operation, preserving the intimate knowledge of each batch that comes from consistent, attentive work.
