FRIEND BLEND

For us, it's all about the people. And this coffee has allowed us to combine the coffee growing expertise of multiple families from across the globe.

Like the decisions that we make each day of our lives that lead to the people who we are today, there are dozens of moments along the journey of a coffee bean that contribute to the flavor and aroma in your morning mug. From the soil and the water, the altitude and the days of sunshine, the drying and processing techniques, some would even say the music played across the farmland can change the taste of a green coffee bean.

And then, the coffee reaches our facility here in Austin where we play with temperature and time to find just the right roast to coax out the best possible flavor, like coaching a natural athlete to perform at their best.

This coffee came from our desire to create our ideal everyday drinker. It starts with a community-grown, washed Guatemalan coffee from the highlands of Huehuetenango - smooth and velvety with rich chocolate notes. We blend that with a bright, fruit-forward lot from a small group of women producers in Costa Rica, and round it out with a lively Ethiopian natural that brings in just the right pop of cherry and strawberry to finish.

This is truly our favorite coffee for daily drinking. It's precious to us, but not too precious to enjoy multiple cups each day. It makes a perfect shot of espresso, and it's equally obsessive on filter or cold brew.
