A classic: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Natural ?? ?? Ethically Produced, Sustainably Grown This organic coffee is handpicked and sorted for density and imperfections before being laid out to dry on raised beds under the full sun for about 21 days. The result is a delightful burst of flavor, with a rich combination of blackberry, blueberry, and dark chocolate, complemented by the sweetness of grape candy. Its smooth and balanced profile offers the perfect reflection of the care, craftsmanship. #coffee #newrelease #Ethiopia #ethiopiacoffee #organic #sistainable #regenerativeagriculture #holidays #gifts

We are excited to introduce an exceptional coffee that has long been awaited—the latest offering from the slopes of Mount Kenya. This particular coffee comes from 1126 small family farms organized around the Ichamama Factory in Nyeri County. The coffee is fully washed and dried on raised beds to preserve its natural vibrancy and flavor. With a medium roast, this coffee has a flavor profile that stands out, with notes of lemon, vanilla, and fig. This Fair Trade and Organic coffee is a testament to the dedication of the farmers and cooperative behind it. By supporting small family farms and prioritizing sustainable practices, the Othaya Farmers Co-operative ensures that every cup not only tastes exceptional but also contributes to a thriving, ethical coffee community. It’s a coffee that embodies the very essence of Mount Kenya: bold, vibrant, and unforgettable.

We are thrilled to share with you a truly exceptional coffee, sourced from the heart of Ethiopia's Guji zone—an area renowned for its rich coffee-growing heritage. This coffee is more than just a cup—it's an experience. With a light roast, the coffee opens with bright, fruity aromas of apricot, leading to an unforgettable flavor profile that’s as complex as it is vibrant. Picture a fruit basket brimming with cranberry, pomegranate, and golden raisin, balanced by the tang of red grapefruit and a subtle hint of chocolate and nuts. This is the kind of coffee that makes you pause, savor, and truly appreciate the artistry and ethics behind each cup! #ethiopia #ethiopiacoffee #specialtycoffee #limitededition #sustainable #coffee #coffeelovers

Last weekend Mariana, our CEO, had the honor of participating in a panel at the San Francisco Coffee Festival with esteemed coffee professionals, Devorah Freudiger, Adrian Lopez, Timothy Styczynski, Jay Ruskey. The conversation was about Merit or Hype:?Discover the Hidden Value of Coffee Beyond Flavor. We believe we have both in coffee, but here is what truly matters: ?? Understanding Coffee’s True Value: Beyond Flavor When we think of coffee, the flavor often takes center stage. But coffee's true value goes far beyond your cup's taste. It's not just about the flavor profile – it's about how it gets to you. From the farm to the cup, the entire journey matters. ?? The Bigger Picture: The value of coffee should also include the way it’s harvested, and processed, and the relationships behind it. How was the coffee sourced? Was it a direct purchase from the farmer? What’s the mission of the company roasting and selling it? How involved are they in the local community? These are crucial questions to ask when evaluating coffee. ?? The Power of Storytelling: In today’s world, storytelling often drives consumer choices – but these stories must be rooted in truth. We, as consumers, have a responsibility to dig deeper. Ask questions: ? Where does the coffee come from? ? How is it processed? ? How does the company support the local community? ? What values are they championing? ? And, what tangible actions are they taking to make a difference? A good story can be compelling, but an authentic story can change the world. ?? Sustainability & Ethics: The impacts of climate change are already here, and coffee production is feeling it. Droughts, pests, and unpredictable weather patterns are putting pressure on farmers. As consumers, we need to prioritize companies that are stepping up to tackle these challenges. At Tico Coffee Roasters, among several other sustainability actions, we’re committed to offsetting 100% of the carbon footprint of every shipment that leaves our warehouse. We also believe in transparency, so we make it a point to visit our partners in coffee-producing countries, to understand their challenges firsthand, and to ensure that our sustainability efforts are improving not just the environment, but also the local communities and the quality of the coffee beans. ?? The Future of Coffee: The coffee industry faces real socio-economic and environmental challenges, but I’m optimistic that by taking conscious, collective action, we can make a meaningful difference. Supporting the communities that rely on coffee for their livelihoods is not just a moral responsibility – it’s essential to the future of coffee. You, as a consumer, have the power to drive change. Let’s raise the bar together. The future of coffee depends on it. #Sustainability #EthicalCoffee #CoffeeCommunity #ConsciousConsumer #ClimateAction #womenincoffee
