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
  • African, Central and South American Origins

*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

For the past five years, Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros de la Cuenca del Rio Marañón (APROCCURMA) has been working directly with 124 women producers to establish coffee production from farms owned and managed by women. A significant number of women in the northern highlands of the Rodríguez de Mendoza province rely on coffee income to support their families. They use organic practices to manage just a few acres of land intercropped with shade trees, bananas, corn, and beans. After carefully harvesting and sorting cherries, depulping, fermenting, washing, and drying is all done at the farm with micro-mills.

The cooperative carries out activities that often go unnoticed but are crucial for producers who have small farms. Investments for basic infrastructure needs, like road improvements, establishing local warehouses, and preparing coffee for export are all coordinated through APROCCURMA, which ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post-harvest process. APROCCURMA also provides women producers with financing, training, and technical assistance to improve coffee quality. The cooperative strives to improve the quality of life for coffee producers and their families through internationally marketing producers’ coffee to gain improved premiums based on a reputation for quality and certification.

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