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
$14.50
This offering comes from Colombia's southwestern department of Nariño. This exceptionally bright coffee is the result of humid air which collects in the region's surrounding valleys during warm days and then moves into the mountainside during cool nights.
We discovered this coffee earlier this year while traveling in Colombia with our friends from Cafe Imports. This coffee qualified as a Regional Select offering for its exceptional cupping score and it's delicious flavors which highlight the unique characteristics of Nariño.
This lot is comprised of coffees from 18 smallholder farmers who live near the municipality of Colon Genova near the Ecuador border. A premium is paid to these producers for their hard work which is apparent in the cup.
This light roast is smooth and juicy. Our Nariño profile highlights the bright notes of citrus, cream, and caramelized sugars which are typical from southern Colombian coffees.

The bold, rich flavors from our Dark Espresso always finishes with a perfect layer of crema and can stand up to milk and sugar that compliment most espresso drinks.

Ethiopia - Yirgacheffe
$14.50

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 - Guatemala Women's Co-op

Dark, bold, intense. Our French Roast is roasted with Fair Trade Organic beans sourced from the ASPROCDEGUA cooperative in Guatemala's Huehuetenango region.
This dark roast is comprised of coffee from several female producers in the region. Years ago, female members of ASPROCDEGUA began separating their beans from the other cooperative members to create a more specialized and traceable product.
Nestled in the mountainous region of northern Guatemala, the coffees harvested from the high elevation farms can hold up to the extreme heat of a French Roast.
The result: a coffee that is rich, smoky, fresh, and ready to be delivered to your door.

Maura Mery Delgado Rosero Microlot
$18.00
We discovered this coffee last fall during the annual Best Cup competition in Pasto, Colombia. During the months leading up to the competition, producers from around the country submitted their finest microlot samples to be roasted and scored. This coffee was selected as one of the top 30 lots in the competition.
Maura Mery Degado Rosero owns a five hectare farm named Sance Chamanal in Samaniego, Narino. On her farm there are nearly 20,000 coffees trees in multiple varieties including castillo, caturra, and typica.
After harvesting and depulping, she allowed this coffee to ferment for 26 hours before sun drying the pergamino for 15 days. She then transported the coffee to Pasto where it was roasted, cupped, scored, and selected as one of Colombia's top lots.
In this cup we taste notes of honeycrisp apple and brown sugar. Her coffee is clean, well-balanced, and a testament of her ongoing work to grow and process exceptional specialty coffee.

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.
