In the sweeping pastures of Montana and North Dakota, we found our soul. In the bustling streets of Seattle, we learned the art of coffee. The Debut Roast is a tangible fusion of both—our first, a coffee so meticulously balanced that it serves as the perfect guide into a world of complex flavors. This is not just a cup of coffee; it is our invitation to you to join our journey. It is a testament to the idea that a great brew can be both refined and unapologetically authentic.
A "Medium Rare" Roast: Our Approach to Flavor
The art of coffee roasting is a precise craft, where heat and time work in concert to unlock the bean's potential. We don't believe in overly dark roasts that hide a bean's character or light roasts that can sometimes be too bright. Our
"Medium Rare" roast, brought to a precise temperature, is a metaphorical nod to the care we take in our craft and a universal language for quality. This meticulous approach allows us to capture the best of both worlds: a balanced cup with subdued acidity and a smooth, medium body that still allows the coffee’s inherent flavors to sing.
The Honduran Terroir: A Symphony of Notes
The journey of the Debut Roast begins in Honduras, a region known for producing a wide range of coffee flavors, from sweet and fruity to chocolatey and nutty. We have chosen a washed process bean to bring out its best qualities. This method removes the coffee cherry's fruit before the bean is dried, resulting in a cleaner, brighter, and more consistent flavor profile.
The result is a coffee with a distinctly sweet and clean character, with notes of honey and caramel. As you sip, you'll uncover a subtle richness, with hints of cocoa and a nutty finish. The flavor is both complex and approachable, a perfect reflection of our brand and our mission to demystify specialty coffee for all.
The Brew: A Clean and Honest Cup
The Debut Roast is versatile, designed to taste excellent in a variety of brewing methods. Its balanced flavor profile makes it ideal for a French press, filter, or espresso machine. It’s a coffee that stands on its own, delivering a smooth, rich cup that is never bitter and always rewarding.
