• Guatemala Pampojila
  Third-generation coffee farmer Oscar Diaz harvests, processes and hand-sorts coffee that's as beautiful as the region from which it comes. His Pampojilá (meaning: "the place where the mist begins") coffee is grown at 5,500 feet above sea level near San Lucas Tolimán, a town in the southeast corner of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. Layers of sweet, floral acidity complement smooth body and classic chocolate notes in a shining example of Guatemalan coffee.
• 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).
• Sulawesi Toraja
  This Toraja is harvested from Mount Sesean in North-central Sulawesi at elevations ranging from 1,300 to 2,000 meters above sea level. Coffee grown on the mountain's eastern slope is collected in the market town of Minanga, while coffee from the Western slope comes through Sapan. The resulting mélange is something very special; flavors of herbs, clove and banana combine with mild, sweet acidity and lasting, syrupy mouthfeel finishing with a touch of roastiness. An incredible, intriguing example of the range of flavors coffees can have. Enjoy!
• 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.
• Decaf Colombia El Castillo
  Attention, regular El Castillo fans: Our Decaf Colombia is now Decaf Colombia El Castillo! This is great news because it means that we are able to source even more coffee from the producers in Huila and Cauca with whom we've had long-standing relationships. Enjoy the complexity and balanced acidity of this great decaffeinated coffee well into the evening.
• Black and Tan
  The black and tan has been a long time bar favorite consisting of a darker beer poured over a lighter brighter one creating a delicate balance of flavors. Our version embodies the same spirit combining rich, full-bodied dark roasted coffee with a sweet, clean, light-roast in a blend that looks almost as good as it tastes - and you don't need a funny bent spoon to enjoy it!
• Decaf Mexico Kulaktik (Water Process)
  Using high-pressured water is the only natural way to remove caffeine from green, i.e., unroasted, coffee beans - a process that makes sense for certified organic coffees. We are pleased to now offer a water-processed decaf version of our popular Mexico Kulaktik - Organic/Fair Trade from the municipality of Tenejapa in the southern state of Chiapas.
• 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.
• Cafe Voltaire
  According to legend, the French philosopher and author Voltaire drank fifty cups of coffee per day. Had he tasted this satisfying blend of East Indies coffees, he would have needed only twenty. Our Caf&eaute; Voltaire delivers a rich and spicy cup with incredible body, balanced acidity and a sweet, lingering aftertaste.
• 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.
