Anniversary Blend

About This Coffee

Anniversary Blend is balanced and smooth, highlighting a deep-toned Lintong coffee from small garden farms in the Lake Toba region of Sumatra. This coffee offers nuances of sweet grapefruit and aromatic wood, and like most coffee cultivated in Sumatra, is processed using the wet-hull method, contributing to its unique flavor profile. Then, we add a fully washed coffee from Kenya that adds elements of brightness and helps bring out the flavor of other coffees in the blend. Kenya has one of the best systems for compensating the highest quality lots; registered buyers taste samples weekly and then compete at auction where the best tasting coffees are rewarded. Because the auction lots are so small, our partners purchase many lots of similar quality and then, through a complex grading process, create the consistency we need for use in the blend. We finished the blend with another fully washed coffee from Colombia that adds flavors of milk chocolate and spice. The coffee is produced by 300 members of the Association of Women Coffee Growers of West Huila (Asociación de Mujeres Cafeteras del Occidente del Huila), who make up the Las Rosas Women’s Coffee Project. The project is a multiorganizational effort intended to support the Las Rosas Women’s Group through economic prosperity, social empowerment, and coffee quality. Over the past six years, the women of Las Rosas have showcased their ability to grow and prosper, becoming a source of inspiration for their community.
