• Breakfast Blend
  In order for a blend to earn the distinctive "Breakfast" title, it must be a coffee that one can consistently count on to start the day in a delicious way. This blend of certified organic and Fair Trade Certified coffees do just that. Enjoy!
• Half-Caff Mexico Kulaktik (Water Process)
  For the coffee drinker that prefers half the caffeine! We combine our regular-roast Mexico Kulaktik - Organic/Fair Trade with a water-process decaffeinated version of the SAME COFFEE, resulting in a flavorful brew with some (but not all) of its original kick. The water-process decaffeination also preserves the organic integrity of the coffee, which may help you rest even better.
• Breakfast Blend
  Sometimes we need a little help waking up, and that's where our Breakfast Blend comes in. The combination of light and medium-roasted coffees creates a dynamic cup with the sweet, pronounced acidity to pry open our eyes, and just enough full, smooth body to prop us up. Whether enjoyed with breakfast or while running out the door, you can always count on our Breakfast Blend to start your day off right.
• Sumatra Mandheling Takengon
  Our Sumatra Mandheling exhibits all of the complex, earthy flavors and smooth, full body that you expect from Sumatran coffee in a way that is elegant and drinkable, not wild and challenging. This coffee is grown in the Takengon region in the northern part of Sumatra known as Simalungun at elevations between 1200 and 1465 meters above sea level (4400 ft).
• Blue Heeler
  Named after Mina, our Australian Blue Heeler mascot, this coffee stays true cup after cup. We combine regular and dark-roasted Sumatra Gayoland - Organic Fair Trade to create a blend worthy of Mina's namesake. It features a floral, earthy aroma with a full body and a spicy, smoky flavor.
• Decaf Breakfast Blend
  This medium-roasted blend of decaffeinated coffees will wake you up without the jitters. Count on the bright, zesty acidity, medium body and a hint of roast to help you start your day off right.
• Ethiopia Harar
  For years we've sourced the Harar Horse from Mohamed A. Ogsadey, one of the most respected coffee exporters in all of Ethiopia and an annual visitor to Milwaukee until his passing in 2006. Although his presence in the specialty coffee industry is missed, his nephew Rashid has taken over the business and continues to deliver the high quality to which we are accustomed. Milk chocolate and berry-fruit notes are abundant, while mild, sweet acidity and creamy body round out the cup. Unique and very drinkable!
• Peru Chirinos
  The Chirinos cooperative of Northern Peru, which was founded in 1968 with just 36 farmer-members, has grown to roughly 280 members from several communities in the Cajamarca region. This year, the coffees we selected from Chirinos came from 3 groups in the cooperative - Balcones, La Lima and Cordillera - that are at the highest elevations and produce the highest quality coffees. Harvested from mostly Typica variety trees (with small amounts of Caturra, Pache, Catimor and Bourbon) at elevations upward of 1,600 meters, this certified organic coffee is a delicious example of successful efforts in cooperative farming. This is a layered yet drinkable coffee with delicate floral and berry aromas and sweet, balanced acidity. Enjoy!
• Kenya AA
  Every Tuesday during the harvest months, some of the best coffees in the world are sold at auction in Nairobi, Kenya. Each year we sift through dozens and dozens of samples to find the really outstanding coffees to bid on and buy. Our favorites always have lush, wine-like acidity that complements smooth, buttery body for an intense yet balanced cup with plenty of interesting flavors.
• Brazil Fazenda Santo Antonio Bourbon Natural
  Rather than spread the picked coffee cherries on patios, Fazenda Santo Antonio allows the 100% bourbon coffee to dry directly on the trees. This method creates a powerful and very distinct aroma and taste that is full-bodied, nutty, and unlike any other coffee.
