It’s all about the coffee…

We proudly serve coffee from Freeport Coffee Roasting. We grind and brew each cup fresh for each order. Each coffee is hand crafted by our roaster to bring out the quality of each single origin or blend.

Single Origin

Guatemala Huehuetenango Highland Coffee Presidium – This delicious coffee was produced with the help of Slow Food International, a movement that supports small-scale producers who preserve crop varieties, agricultural practices, and food traditions. A Presidium, or an organized group of producers, was created in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala with the help of Slow Food. This Presidium of 170 small growers is organized through local cooperatives in three different communities: San Pedro Necta, La Libertad, and Todos Santos Cuchumatán. This is a sweet, easy drinking coffee with hints of chocolate, coconut and berries.  Roasted medium.

El Salvador San Emilio Pulped Natural – From the mountainous La Libertad region on the northwest coast of El Salvador comes this delicious example of a pulped natural coffee.  In this process, just the skin is removed after harvest, leaving the sticky mucilage layer intact.  The coffee is then dried with the mucilage on the bean, a process that adds body and sweetness to the cup, combining the best characteristics of the dry and washed processes.  Its a difficult process to master, but the San Emilio group does a nice job with this 100% bourbon varietal.  This is a sweet coffee, with flavors of dried fruit, caramel and molasses.  Roasted medium.

Brazil Fazenda Cachoeira – A sweet, lively, full bodied cup with citrus and berry notes and a wonderful chocolate finish.  We roast this at a rich, medium level, using a slower than usual roast time to bring out the highlights of this relatively low-grown (1,100 meters) coffee. Our beans are grown on the Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama farm in the mountainous Sul de Minas region of Brazil.  The planting and harvesting are done manually and environmentally sustainable practices (including the co-planting of native species and rigid wastewater management) are an integral part of the management of the farm.

Tanzania Peaberry – Peaberries are an anomaly in coffee cherries where, instead of two facing "flatberries" in each piece of fruit, only one grows, with a distinctive rounded shape.  It is said that this results in a concentrated, more intense flavor.  We like this coffee as an alternative East African to the Kenya.  The acidity is more restrained here, and you'll find the citrus tastes to be more like orange than grapefruit, married with blackberries or boysenberries.  Roasted medium.

Brazil Mogiana Yellow Bourbon Decaf (WP) – This is a water-process decaf version of our wonderful Brazil Yellow Bourbon.  It presents a sweet, lively, full bodied cup with citrus and berry notes and a wonderful chocolate finish - and it makes an exquisite single-origin espresso.

Sumatra Lintong Triple Pick Decaf (WP) – This is a water process decaf version of our best selling Sumatra Lintong. The rich, spicy flavors of Sumatra coffees are ideal for those who like their morning brew thick and flavorful.  This is a wonderful, exotic coffee, with reminders of cedar, fruit, lemon and rhubarb and the "triple picking" procedure eliminates the mustiness that is characteristic of some Sumatra coffees. 

Certified Organic Coffee

Bolivia CENAPROC Caranavi FTO – The Cenaproc Fair Trade Cooperative is located near the town of Caravani, northeast of the Bolivian capital La Paz - with growing elevations between 1,600-1,800 meters.  Cenaproc is a success story on many levels, with coffee lands converted from coca production, several recent winners in the Bolivia Cup of Excellence competition and a growing international reputation for producing consistently high quality coffees.  In the cup, the coffee is a delicious combination of chocolate, vanilla, nuts and soft fruit flavors, and it makes an exquisite single origin espresso.  The coffee is shade grown, organic and fair trade certified, and we roast the coffee to a medium level to preserve the elegance of the flavors.

Ethiopia Organic Sidamo – Grown by the Dale Community, a group of small farmers in the villages of Sokoru and Sole, this coffee tastes of brown sugar, vanilla, chocolate and spices and a strong, sweet aroma. This coffee is both Cafe Practices certified and certified organic.

Sumatra Organic Aceh Putra Rimbun – This coffee, from the Putra Rimbon exporters in the northern Sumatra region of Aceh, is an uncharacteristically clean and sweet Sumatra, with none of the musty notes that often inhabit coffees from this region.  It is a deep, chocolaty coffee with reminders of tobacco and spice, a combination that will grab red wine drinkers and make them happy in the morning.  We roast the coffee just past medium to preserve the flavors, but this one will appeal to dark roast drinkers too.

Signature Blends

Holiday Reserve Mokka Java – Our Holiday Reserve Coffee for 2009 brings you our version of one of the oldest blending recipes in the history of coffee.  We marry sweet, malty Jampit Estate beans from Java with a dry processed Ethiopia Sidamo to bring you a sweet, complex cup that goes down easy and makes you smile.  In the spirit of staying warm through our fierce New England winters, we roast this one just past medium to hold the flavors and bring out just the right level of caramel undertones.  The coffee bears our holiday label, making it the perfect choice for gift-giving.

Indo-limbo French Roast – Based on an Indonesian coffee, this blend is composed of coffees from the principal growing regions of the world that have been selected because they are hardy enough to take to a high roast level. With caramelized flavors, this is a dark, deep roast.

Giddy Goats Espresso – Giddy Goats takes its name from the very oldest fable about the origins of coffee, and it takes place in the mountainous coffee-growing regions of Ethiopia or Yemen (depending on which story you believe).  To honor the roots of coffee, Giddy is a blend of African, Indonesian and South American coffees that as espresso (by the shot or in milk drinks) is, in a word, exotic.  Layers of rich flavors combine seamlessly for a deep, satisfying coffee experience, and the tastes that linger on your tongue will make you smile long after the drink has disappeared.  Giddy is also wonderful and tantalizing prepared in a French Press or using a drip brewer.

Road Trip! – A subtle dark roast combining Africa and Indonesian coffee.

All coffees are roasted by Freeport Coffee Roasting in Freeport, Maine.
