A new regional favorite of ours, coming to us through our friend William Ortiz with Maniwa Coffee! This Colombian offering consists of coffees from several smallholder farmers in the Huila department of southern Colombia, specifically from the regions of Pitalito, Oporapa, and Palestina. This blend is created at a laboratory that Maniwa operates in Pitalito where all the individual lots are cupped for their profile and quality.

"Chorro Alto" is one of many waterfalls in the Oporapa hills that flows into Colombia's main river, Magdalena.

This is a dynamic coffee that represents the beauty of the region well. We taste notes of Tropical Fruits and Semisweet Chocolate with a clean and juicy finish. The roast profile is light enough to make a great single origin offering, but would work well as a unique single origin espresso.  

Tasting Notes: Peanut Butter, Cocoa, Graham Cracker

Sweet Brazil is our most popular single origin offering by a wide margin. It’s an approachable and sweet coffee, with something for everyone. The coffee is sourced from our friends, Veloso Coffee, from Fazenda Santa Barbara in the Cerrado region in Brazil.

The Veloso family has been producing and exporting fine coffees for decades, and their hard work is most evident in the consistency this coffee offers. Year after year this coffee is excellent and versatile, and we’re excited to continue the relationship for years to come. 

Tasting Notes: Toffee, Cherry, and Coffee Blossom Honey

This amazing coffee comes from the Santa Maria de Dota region and is processed and imported by our friends at Hacienda La Minita, who have been producing incredible Costa Rican coffees for decades.

We’ve been buying this coffee for four years now, and in 2024, thanks to the amazing team at Hacienda La Minita, we were able to purchase this coffee exclusively from one community receiving station (recibidor).

This delicious washed process coffee is grown between 1200 and 1900 meters above sea level and features a round body with great acidity and juicy fruit notes.

Tasting Notes:  Toasted Peanut Butter, S'mores, Baker's Chocolate

Dark Blue is bolder take on our Sweet Brazil, roasted a little darker for a full bodied and more chocolaty cup. Initially, Dark Blue was a wholesale exclusive offering, but word got out, and we’re excited that it’s now in our regular portfolio of coffees!

The Veloso family has been producing and exporting fine coffees for decades, and their hard work is most evident in the consistency this coffee offers. Year after year this coffee is excellent and versatile, and we’re excited to continue the relationship for years to come. 

Tasting Notes: Toasted Almond, Pear, Chocolate

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. 

Tasting Notes: Kiwi, Toasted Almond, & Candied Orange.

Black Condor comes to us from our long-time Colombia partner Forest Coffee. This particular washed process coffee is from their project in the community of Gaitania and is produced by more than 100 coffee growers from the area. Processing for the coffee is handled by Emmanuel Enciso, the co-founder of the project, at his farm—Finca La Roma. 

The program gives back too—producers who are a part of the program receive agricultural support throughout the year including workshops that cover processes, fermentation, drying, and cupping their own coffees. 

We’re happy to be in our 6th year of partnership with Forest on the Black Condor project, and look forward to many more. 

Tasting Notes: Blue Raspberry Slushy, Coconut, Rose

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.

Tasting Notes: Dried Cherry, Almond, Cola

Our decaf is amazing—Condor Decaf is a single varietal (caturra) coffee produced by our friends Shady and Elias Bayter at their farm Finca El Vergel in Tolima, Colombia. It's not just great for a decaf, it's a great coffee all by itself. We're happy to be offering this coffee year-round and hope you enjoy it as much as our caffeinated offerings!

From the producers, Shady and Elias Bayter:

"El Vergel estate made the decision to produce a very high-quality decaffeinated coffee, after seeing that most of the coffee used in Colombia to produce "decaf" is a lower-quality coffee. That’s why our decaf is made with coffees from our farm El Vergel. It means we use first-quality coffees which have allowed us to create a decaffeinated product that, despite the process, does not lose its sweetness in the cup."

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.
