Big Timber Blend
$13.50
While traveling down the Yellowstone River in 1806, Captain William Clark discovered a small creek flowing out of western Montana’s Crazy Mountains. They later named this stream 'Big Timber Creek' in honor of the giant cottonwood trees that lined the banks of the crystalline waterway. Several decades later, pioneers settled this wide-open valley and designated the community 'Big Timber' after the Corps of Discovery.
This signature blend goes back to Yellowstone Coffee’s foundation and has remained a long-time favorite for brisk mornings on the river and powder days at Bridger Bowl.

Colombia - Nariño Regional Select

Our Regional Select coffees highlight the unique flavors and characteristics typical in famous coffee regions around the world. This offering comes from Colombia's southwestern department of Nariño. Its bright flavors are the result of humid air which collects in surrounding valleys during warm days and later moves into the mountainside during cool nights.

Our current Decaf offering has been sourced from five small producers in Colombia's central department of Caldas and naturally decaffeinated to create a delicious and clean cup.
Our Decaf Colombia is highlighted by strong notes of milk chocolate and subtle, juicy acidity that will leave devoted decaf drinkers questioning whether their coffee was stripped of its caffeine at all!

Ethiopia - Yirgacheffe
$14.50
According to ancient legend, Arabica coffee was first discovered after an Ethiopian goat-herder noticed the energizing effects of a small red fruit on his prancing flock of goats.
Centuries later, the coffee plants that originally covered Ethiopia's mountainous hillsides have been cultivated, disputed over, and traded for commercial use. Ethiopia has maintained its legendary status by consistently producing some of the highest quality coffees in the world.
Our Ethiopia offering was sourced from the south central district of Yirgacheffe. This light roast is sweet, velvety, and complex. Our Ethiopia profile highlights notes of candied citrus, peach, and jasmine that are typical from the Yirgacheffe region.

French Roast
$13.50
Dark, bold, intense. Our French Roast is roasted with Fair Trade Organic beans sourced from the ASOPROCAFEES cooperative in Colombia's Tolima department.
The 60 contributing producers at ASOPROCAFEES have been focused on growing and processing Fair Trade and Organic coffees since the cooperative's creation in 2011.
We seek coffees grown at high elevations for our dark roasts because denser beans maintain their flavor well past the second crack. Harvested from farms around 2000 meters in the central Colombian Andes, this coffee can handle the extreme temperatures of a French Roast.
The result: a coffee that is rich, smoky, fresh, and ready to be delivered to your door.

Sumatra - Harimau

During the 17th century, Dutch traders introduced coffee throughout much of Indonesia, including the lush island of Sumatra. Coffee production has since changed hands from Dutch plantation owners to local smallholder farmers.
Coffee from Sumatra is well-known for its savory, earthy flavors which result from the island's growing conditions and the traditional wet-hull post-harvest process.
This particular offering from Sumatra's northern region is noticeably cleaner than coffees from Mandehling. Sumatra Harimau is highlighted by a full body and smokey, cocoa notes.
