This blend is named for Aldo Leopold, a revered ecologist and author. It is a coffee we roast a bit longer than our other offerings, with the goal of muting acidity, accentuating mouthfeel, and caramelizing sugars. Aldo's is roasted for our loyal supporters who are nostalgic for flavors reminiscent of the classic diner coffee - strong, rich, bold. It’s currently comprised of the following:
50% FAF Curupira - We source a handful of coffees through our partners in Brazil, Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza (FAF), for use in Aldo's throughout the year. These are generally lower scoring compilations from the same farmers that we purchase top quality microlots.
50% Suenos de Selguapa: a washed processed coffee from a compilation of families throughout Selguapa, Honduras. Sourced via our close importing partners, Semilla Coffee.
Roasting Schedule
We roast on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and fulfill orders on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Orders will always ship within 1 - 4 days of roasting. Orders placed after Wednesday at 11:59pm Eastern will be fulfilled on the following Monday.
Nap Time
Roasted coffee thrives after a brief rest period! Flavors will continue to evolve and become more expressive (i.e. delicious) over time. We recommend aiming to brew our coffees a minimum of 1 week out from the roast date.
Proper Storage
Our bags feature a resealable zipper, making them the perfect storage vessel. Heat, moisture, and light, are all enemies to coffee and will speed up the aging process. We recommend simply storing in a cool, dry, dark place.
Bag Disposal
Our retail bags are fully compostable! We've also established a local return program in our cafe where you'll receive discounts on future bag purchases.
