This year in our holiday sampler pack we're featuring one direct trade partner, two nano-lots, and a coffee of the month. This pack truly is representative of some of the best coffees we've encountered this year and we hope you enjoy it. The pack contains 4 bags of 5 ounce whole bean coffees.

Pride of Tineco: 

Origin: Honduras

Process: Washed

Altitude 4800-5000 ft

Varietal: Yellow Colombia

From San Agustin, Honduras, this coffee is representitve of Armando and Dublas' work in coffee. It's a nice washed coffee representative of the terroir. Some chocolate, caramel and dried fruit cupping notes are present

Guji Natural

Origin: Ethiopia

Process: Natural 

Altitude: 5700-6200

Varietal: Heirloom

This coffee is from Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee as a beverage. It's representative of the natural process with a nicer blueberry and lemongrass present. Crazy fact, the ship this coffee was on was attacked by pirates while rounding Africa's Horn. 

Gesha

Origin: Colombia

Process: Washed

Altitude: 4950-5200 

Varietal: Gesha

The elusive "Gesha". This varietal of coffee is considered one of the best in the world. This Colombian Gesha is syrupy with a relative fruity body. Gesha plants produce one of the lowest yields in the coffee world and for a long time weren't appreciated. Now, because they fetch a higher price, farmers interested in higher end prices are producing more. 

King Bourbon

Origin: Guatemala 

Process: Anaerobic

Altitude: 6500ft

Varietal: Bourbon

King Bourbon is not a varietal. This is simply a very very large "Bourbon", more reminiscent of a "Maragogype" Roasting larger beans takes more effort to get a balanced body. Furthermore, this coffee is an anaerobically processed natural, so there was some interesting microbiology taking place.
