Coava Coffee Roasters
Portland, Oregon
What happens when you let a fantastic coffee crop ferment for one day in wooden boxes covered with banana leaves? As the Xeucalvitz Community in Guatemala would tell you, this cleverly improvised mode of fermentation creates a unique variation in sugar content from bean to bean. That complexity further comes to life in the skilled hands of Portland, Oregon’s Coava Coffee Roasters, where each bean in the batch develops differently as it roasts. You’ll taste a refreshingly delicate Guatemalan coffee with a sweet, clean body that is anchored on the low end by tannic black tea and highlighted with a juicy limeade acidity.

Topeca Coffee Roasters
Tulsa, Oklahoma
In the mid-19th century, Rafael Álverez Lalinde left Colombia, bringing only a few plants and his knowledge, and introduced coffee to El Salvador. Six generations later, his family company, Topéca Coffee, is still revolutionizing the business. Topéca is one of the few companies in the world that controls its coffee beans from the time they are planted to the time they are roasted. This “seed-to-cup” process gives Topéca the ability to ensure great quality in every cup. This luxurious coffee originates from Finca Manzano, a farm on the slopes of the Santa Ana volcano. Flavors of strawberry and balsamic are enveloped in dark chocolate, giving the cup a truffle-like quality.

Lone Pine Coffee Roasters
Bend, Oregon
Scott Witham got his first taste of the roasting business at Seattle’s Torrefazione Italia. When Starbucks acquired Torrefazione in 2003 and offered Scott a roasting job, he had a better idea. He and his wife packed up and moved back home to central Oregon, where they started their very own roasting company; Lone Pine Coffee Roasters. With this Ethiopian brew, you’ll feel as though you are travelling around the world with every sip. Rose and lemongrass aromatics soar over a sweet lychee and white peach acidity, with a honey and assam tea base rounding out this delicate, clean and well-balanced coffee.
