Island Sunrise™ - Coffee Blend

(Haitian / Tanzanian Pea Berry / Kenyan AA / Sumatra)

Heavy mouthful, flavors of lemon and clove with a sweet finish.

Shackles broken, machete in hand, the free man blows the conch to gather others in his fight for the freedom and dignity of all people and for the self-evident truth - that all men are created equal. Neg Mawon is the symbol of Haiti's greatest resource - her indefatigable people, a people profoundly and proudly woven to their history. 

Tanzania Kilimanjaro Pea Berry is special because it is so rare. Only about 5% of coffee beans are pea berry beans. Most coffee beans are born twins. Within each cherry on the coffee tree, two beans are grown side by side, resulting in the flat face of most beans. Pea berries, however, occur when only one of the two seeds are fertilized, growing on its own without anything to flatten it. They are individualists, the lone guns of the coffee world. Because of their independence, each pea berry is infused with all the assets normally reserved for two beans.

There’s a reason why most coffee cuppers will name Kenya as their favorite origin—we tend to obsess over organic fruit acids and clarity of flavor, and the best coffees from Kenya have a vibrancy that outshines all others. It is easy to detect Kenyan coffees on a blind table, and even those new to specialty coffee learn to recognize their distinct character quickly, because it demands your attention.
