Savio is one of our core seasonal blends, named for the well-known activist and key member of the Free Speech Movement - Mario Savio.
The components of Savio change multiple times throughout the year to embrace the freshest harvests available to our roasting team. However, the flavor profile goal remains the same - chocolate driven with a focus on sweetness; accented by a lively acidity and soft fruit flavors.
In comparison to our other blends, Savio will always be the most fruit forward option. But have no fear - it still performs perfectly across every brew method and every milk and sugar addition you could dream of. The current offering is a harmonious blend of African and Central American coffees - Suke Quto & Suenos de Selguapa. We’re tasting: apple juice, orange peel, fig, cinnamon roll, brown sugar, baking spices, toffee, chocolate.
50% Suke Quto: a washed processed coffee from the Guji Zone of Ethiopia. We've been purchasing from Tesfaye Bekele's washing station now for 13 years.
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.
