Angry Bull Blend
Full City Roast

Unique and untamed. Aromas begin forest-like, then to Jolly Ranchers and butterscotch as it cools. Pleasantly dirty -- almost mossy in profile, with notes of sweet iced tea and grapes. Medium-bodied, occasionally spicy, and quite adventurous.
Black Lotus Espresso Blend
Melange Blend

An exceptionally pallettable espresso! Developed to cut well with steamed milk, it touches numerous registers of flavor, such as raisin, oak, wild berry, and dark chocolate, while being void of bitterness. A dark, rich crimson crema that has a refreshing finish with a note of walnut.

Sweet brown sugar in the nose. Round and rich, with a creamy, expansive body. Notes of caramel apple. rye, and nutty envelope the mouth while it finishes with a fond hint of peach.
Cafe del Fuego Blend
Italian Roast

The darkest roast that we do, it is a sturdy, smokey, bold cup for the dark roast lover containing notes of blackberry wine, malt, and sharp cheddar.
Cascara Coffee Cherry Tea – Las Lajas Micromill, Costa Rica
Cascara
['kaskara]: Spanish for "husk," is tea composed of remnant coffee cherry husks after having been dried during processing.
Imported from Finca San Luis in Las Lajas, Costa Rica, these coffee cherries sit out under the sun to dry during natural processing. As the husks and beans separate, they are collected, sorted, and used for a variety of purposes, although rarely exported.
Cascara is meant to steep like tea and only contains 25% of the caffeine as your normal cup of brewed coffee. Unlike the tea plant, cascara responds very openly to different brewing techniques. That is to say, alter the recipe as you see fit!

Peru ‘Cafe Femenino’
Full City Roast

A gale of spicy tiramisu and sugar snap peas opens the door to this coffee’s remarkable sweetness. Its syrupy and milky body paints a scene of dulcet confection, bouncing from chocolate covered bananas to pecan pie, from salted pumpkin seeds to carrot cake glacé. Throughout the finish and amidst a balanced acidity, the sweetness continues; nutmeg and gingerbread wisps hailing this sweet, savory roast to crisp autumn days.
