Great coffee starts with great relationships. As the official coffee partner of the Tennessee Titans, the Titan blend brings exceptional taste and uncompromising quality to every cup.

The blend components rotate seasonally to highlight our global farm partners. Currently, the Titans blend is a washed process Costa Rican coffee from our friends at Hacienda La Minita in Tarrazú. We hope this coffee becomes a gameday morning! Titan Up!

For us, coffee is about relationships. These relationships throughout the supply chain are the foundation 8th & Roast is built on, and this coffee from our friends at Finca Concepción Buena Vista in Chimaltenango, Guatemala is the example that sets the bar for that level of transparency.

Since 2021, we have been working directly with the Solano Family, who are fourth generation coffee farmers in the community of San Martin Jilotepeque in the Guatemalan department of Chimaltenango.

This outstanding washed-process yellow bourbon varietal coffee is grown between 1650-1800 meters above sea level, and is as delicious as it is approachable. This coffee gets better every year, and we’re happy that we can now say we buy the entire lot every year.

Our Ethiopia Ardi Natural process—an intensely fruity and floral coffee—comes to us from the Biru Bekele Washing Station in the Guji Zone of the Oroma region of Ethiopia.

The station was built by Biru Bekele in 2018, and the coffee the they buy and process there from smallholders in the area is world class. The elevation in the coffees there range from 1750 to 2050 meters above sea level, and is some of the highest quality in the whole country. 

We’ve purchased this coffee for several years now through our friends at Keffa Coffee, an importing company based in Baltimore, MD. Keffa’s owner, Samuel Demisse, was born in Keffa, Ethiopia and moved to the United States in 2004, with the mission to bring amazing Ethiopian offees from his home to new audiences in the United States.

Regional select: Nyeri, Kenya

We're excited to mark the return of La Joya Honey, a lactic honey–processed lot from the Solano family at Finca Concepción Buena Vista in San Martín Jilotepeque, Guatemala. First released two years ago as the farm’s first-ever honey process, this method sits between washed and natural coffees, leaving some of the fruit’s mucilage on the bean to build sweetness, texture, and complexity while keeping the cup clean and bright.

For this amazing coffee, the cherries are fermented in sealed tanks with lactic acid cultivated from the same lot of coffee, then partially depulped and dried slowly on raised beds.

What began as a small experiment by La Joya's microbiologist and fermentation specialist, Adriana, is now a refined, repeatable process. This is all made possible by the Solano’s laboratory, sophisticated wet and dry mills and growing control over fermentation.

This returning release is layered and expressive, with tasting and texture notes of hazelnut, soft serve ice cream, and s'mores!

For us, coffee is about relationships. These relationships throughout the supply chain are the foundation 8th & Roast is built on, and this coffee from our friends at Finca Concepción Buena Vista in Chimaltenango, Guatemala is the example that sets the bar for that level of transparency.

Since 2021, we have been working directly with the Solano Family, who are fourth generation coffee farmers in the community of San Martin Jilotepeque in the Guatemalan department of Chimaltenango.

Our natural process offering from Concepción Buena Vista is a delicious Red Bourbon varietal grown at 5900 feet above sea level. After harvest, each bean is slowly dried in the cherry for around three weeks, with the moisture being monitored meticulously along the way. Some of the trees that grow coffee for this lot are nearly 100 years old and still producing amazing coffees!

Our Cold Brew is a custom blend made specifically to pair perfectly with the cold brew brewing method. It has rich notes of chocolate, praline, and stone fruit.

Tasting Notes: Grapefruit, Pomegranate, Apricot, Candied Pecan

We connected with this amazing new coffee through a chance meeting at our Charlotte Ave location with Kenny Ntwali of Higa Coffee.

Kenny, who is from Rwanda, studied in the US and is now splitting his time between the two countries, sourcing amazing coffees from East Africa and helping roasters like us build long-term partnerships with producers in the region. This is our first ever Rwandan coffee, and we are honored to be able to share it with our customers!

Vunga sits near the borders of Uganda to the North and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the West. This tiny station is located between the steep hills of Nyabihu District, and is a woman-owned and managed washing station.

It is managed by Daphrose Uwimana, who has created a close-knit community and mentors a group of women farmers that produces special women-grown lots. Daphrose founded the cooperative in 2009 and is the driving force behind the exceptional coffee coming out of this station.

A fan favorite returns! This is our second harvest working with Javier Umaña, a producer in the El Rodeo community of Costa Rica’s Santa María de Dota. We were introduced to Don Javier two years ago by our friends at Hacienda La Minita, while visiting some of the producers behind our main Santa Maria de Dota lot. 

With his coffee growing at some of the highest elevations in the area, he continues to produce coffees that are absolutely delicious year after year. What began last harvest as a small test is now a larger lot of naturally-processed coffee made exclusively for 8th & Roast. 

With support from Hacienda La Minita’s expert post-harvest team, precise fermentation, along with careful drying and milling bring out the full potential of this coffee and reflect the dedication of Don Javier and his family.

In the cup, you’ll find notes of watermelon bubblegum, blackberry pie, and green apple. It’s available now on drip and pour-over in our cafés, with retail bags available online and in-store.
