Holiday Blend Collection
Crafted to bring people together, our Holiday Blend celebrates the sense of community that the season inspires. Capture that festive spirit with every cup. We will feature this coffee throughout November and December, to keep you going into the New Year.
5% of Holiday Blend sales will go to our partners at Suke Quto, a coffee farm in the Guji region in Ethiopia featured in this blend. Funds will support the purchase of desks through the Suke Quto School Project which aims to improve the community's schools.
About the Coffee
Holiday Blend is built around a citrus- and floral-toned washed-process coffee produced on Suke Quto, a farm located in the Guji Highlands of Ethiopia. This coffee’s citrus- and floral-toned flavor profile serves as the foundation of Holiday Blend.
We then add a second Ethiopian coffee: a natural-process lot from Kayon Mountain Estate, which is also located in the Guji growing region. A relatively small percentage of Kayon Mountain Natural is used to ensure that the flavors of the other components were not overpowered, but enough to contribute just the right amount of sweet berry and stone fruit presence.
The final addition to this year’s Holiday Blend is from an all-women farmers cooperative in Honduras called COMUCAP (Asociación Coordinadora de Mujeres Campesinas de La Paz), a name that may be familiar to long time drinkers of Equator coffee. The milk chocolate, and dried fruit flavors in their coffee knits the blend together, adding sweetness and nuanced layers of complexity.
About the Beneficiary
Suke Quto is owned and operated by Ato Tesfaye Bekele, one of the people that helped to put the Guji region on the specialty coffee map. At nearly 550 acres, Suke Quto coffee farm, washing station and dry mill have become a force in the highlands of Guji. Their focus is on the production of environmentally friendly coffee in an economically viable manner that benefits the community, and helps people earn a living income from sustainable coffee production. Suke Quto, and all the coffees in Holiday Blend, are certified organic.
