Ethiopia - Habtamu Fikadu Natural
This naturally processed coffee from Habtamu Fikadu and 400 smallholders in Buku has been on our minds since we first tasted our pre-shipment sample this Spring. With a complex and fruit-forward profile, this coffee has the floral, citrusy, pleasantly bitter character of hops along with tart dried mango and perfectly ripe blueberries.

Online and on our shelves!

It’s a perfect day for coffee on one of our patios!

The Fourth edition in our Reserve Series is an ultra-limited 110lb lot of Sidra from Libano, Tolima. This coffee was such a standout from our recent purchasing trip to Colombia that we air freighted it to our roastery to share it with you as soon as possible. In this jammy and rich but refined cup, expect deeply sweet and ripe concord grape, tart red plum, and an orange marmalade background. This Reserve lot is not the one to miss out on!

A few things happening this month that we had to share!

Halloween Latte Art Throwdown, Oct 29th!

Haven't been to a throwdown? It's a blast!
Baristas compete to pour the best latte art in a bracket style, single-elimination, head-to-head tournament judged by industry pros! There will be music, scary movies, a triangulation station, and some very cool raffle prizes with proceeds going to the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition. Temaki Tornado food truck will be out front (Boxcar's favorite food truck)! And in the spirit of the season we will also be having a halloween costume contest!

The event is free to attend but please RSVP here. (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/halloween-latte-art-throwdown-tickets-1997506001221?aff=oddtdtcreator)

Ethiopia - Layo Teraga
While perfectly clean with no ferment or process flavors, this coffee from the Layo Teraga Coffee Producers Cooperative falls firmly in the “fruit bomb” category for us. Expect dense, sugary sweetness, fruit punch, stone fruit and citrus all around with a clear and crisp finish.

Grab a bag today!

Kenya - Carson Estate
Single-estate traceability and natural-processing are both uncommon in Kenya, so when we were offered just 90kg of this super clean SL-28 + 34 lot from Carson Estate, we had to jump on it. Subtly earthy rooibos tea pairs perfectly with mouthwatering lemon curd and ripe raspberry, making for a sweet and complex sipper as we head into fall.

Online and on our shelves!
