The highly anticipated new coffee selections from Stumptown Coffee Roasters are finally here, freshly roasted and now available at your Market!

Columbia La Piramide Reserva: This one is a personal favorite, partially because I had the chance to meet Walter Pena, one of the growers, at a Stumptown board panel question-and-answer. This coffee is high quality, grown at elevations between 1,750 and 1,950 meters. Flavors and nuances from this cup include brown sugar, bright berry and spice. Stumptown has worked directly with these four farmers who complete the Asorcafe producer’s association for four years now.

Bolivia Buenavista: This coffee comes from 10 different farmers who together form the San Ignacio Cooperative in the Yungas Valley of Bolivia. This valley stretches from Southeastern Peru to Central Bolivia. This cup shows a slightly sweet profile of chocolate, honey, blackberry and toast.

Ecuador Loja: From the crest of the Andes, this coffee is some of the highest grown coffee in Latin America. Stumptown has worked with the coffee growers associations of this area for three years now. They say their direct trade relationship has improved the balance and clarity of the coffee in an apparent progress. The coffee cherries from these micro-lots are processed with hand-cranked depulpers, fermented in small tanks, then washed and laid out to dry on either patios or raised beds. The flavor profile of this cup shows sweet, fruity and finished with toasty notes.

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Adado: This coffee comes from the Adado Cooperative washing station in the southeastern Ethiopian highlands, south of the capital Addis Ababa. This particular region is the main production area for the world famous Yirgacheffe and Sidamo coffees. Flavors from this cup include brown sugar, clove, orange blossom, and bright berry.

Try some new coffee, and experience some of the best in the world. Stumptown has definitely done its part in the exploration and development of some of the struggling coffee growing communities throughout Latin America and Africa, so that we may enjoy the highest quality coffees. In doing so, Stumptown and those who purchase their coffees support these communities, as well.
