Description

The Enthusiast:
This is one of our most popular subscriptions. The Enthusiast was created for people who have a palate and appreciation for specialty coffee. In other words, if you have experience with coffee and own a V60, Aeropress or Bee House then The Enthusiast is a perfect light roast coffee subscription for you. We work to find the freshest and highest quality coffee farms from across the globe. Basically, our goal is to source coffees that were just harvested so you can experience the freshest possible coffee. Then, once received we roast to order and ship right away. In effect, sourcing high quality coffee allows us to create a light roast coffee subscription with variety and nuance. Also, we tend to source coffees in this tier from Fair Trade co-ops as a way to support sustainable production of delicious coffee. Consequently, Marcus (one of our founders and lead roaster) prefers to bounce between this coffee and The Collector as his personal favorites.
Features:
  • Coffee subscription billed at your chosen frequency and easily update as needed
  • More complexity and nuanced flavors
  • More variety in origin
  • Beans change every other month – view the current farm information here

*We roast our beans to preserve and compliment the flavors of origin. There will always be a bit of variety in our roasts in our continuing attempt to express the best that each bean has to offer. You can always expect a lighter roast that features clean, smooth and easy to drink roasts.

“How many bags will I need per month?” By our calculations, one person who drinks one cup per day will go through about two bags per month.

ABOUT THIS COFFEE

There are plenty of obstacles to cultivating and exporting coffee from the department of Huehuetenango. The terrain is rugged, and the weather is extreme. But coffee grows well here, and 634 families with farms that average just a few acres in size work together through a cooperative calledGuaya’b Asociación Civil (GUAYA’B) to overcome the obstacles. The farms have been certified organic and Smithsonian Bird Friendly by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. GUAYA’B provides members with access to micro-financing to ensure year-round farm maintenance and periodic renovations. GUAYA’B also provides technical assistance, which includes soil analysis and training on organic fertilizer production. During the harvest,GUAYA’B has established a childcare service so parents have a safe place for their children to learn while they pick coffee. Each producer delivers cherry from their individual farms to a centralized wet-mill equipped with environmental controls to return water to the environment free of contamination. At the mill, the cherry is depulped and fermented for 36 to 48 hours, then washed and classified by density in channels of water and dried to 11 percent moisture on patios in the sun. The result is a traceable community lot with a vibrant regional profile ensuring greater producer earnings.

    I loved it. I’m sad I still have to get through a bag of grocery store coffee. This is way better
