MEDIUM/DARK
Peruvian
GREAT FOR ESPRESSO. This bean is wonderfully smooth and has nutty overtones. We always roast Peruvian to an 'Espresso' or dark roast as this yields the best of all tastes characteristics for this wonderful South American Jewel. This coffee is not as lively 'acidic' but is large in body. Peruvian is found in our 'Sombrilla' Blend.
GREAT FOR ESPRESSO. No other coffee growing region pays more attention to the preparation of their coffee! Costa Rican makes up the base for our 'House Espresso Blend' and is perhaps the finest coffee in the world. It is zesty, bright, full-bodied, deep in flavor with a clean finish. The chocolate overtones are an added bonus upon the finish.
Costa Rican-Tarrazu
Guatemalan
GREAT FOR ESPRESSO.High-mountain grown in rich volcanic soil is one of the unique aspects of this very popular coffee. Of all of our Dark Roast coffees, it is by far the most-mellow, while maintaining its full bodied flavor. It's uniquely sweet with a hint of spice, rich yet has a soft finish.
Blending Peruvian, Sumatra, and a 'hint' of Guatemalan beans, yields a wonderfully smooth mocha java-like flavour. This blend is very popular with coffee enthusiasts as it is complex yet possesses a very smooth finish. 'Well rounded' is the way it's described most often.

Sumatra
This region is probably the most well known in Indonesia, and rightfully so, the coffee has been extremely consistent. Sumatra is considered massive and full bodied, and low in acidity. The coffee plants in Sumatra grow along fruit trees, spice plants and other crops in their shade. Some farmers let the fruit fall to the ground believing that this enhances the coffee's flavour through the soil. Sumatra is smooth with herbal nuances. This is a very popular coffee.
Ethiopian
Beans from this region are unsurpassed in their intensity and distinctive flavour. Some would use terms such as cinnamon, spice and blueberry to describe their flavours. They have a high level of brightness to them and are considered 'lively'. Ethiopian beans traditionally have less body than other Arabica's from other coffee growing regions. We use Ethiopian in our 'Jakarta Blend' to achieve its unique flavor.
Jakarta
Combining Sumatra, Brazil and Ethiopian has resulted in a coffee that will satisfy the most demanding 'coffee lover'. Our Jakarta has a very lively start, strong body, cinnamon overtones and finishes with lingering blueberry notes, a result of the Ethiopian. The flavor is as exotic as the countries that the beans come from.
Swiss Water Decaf
Only the most progressive decaffeinating process available will do. There are no chemicals in removing 97% of the caffeine from the beans. With the removal of caffeine comes a slightly higher market price. Enjoy this naturally altered bean at approximately 6 mg of caffeine per cup compared to 180 mg in a regular 12oz. cup. Other decaffeinating processes use harmful chemicals, so ensure your decaf is done the Swiss Water way.
