☀️ July Coffee Spotlight: Blonde Roast

Light. Bright. Smooth. Coffee with Purpose.

This month, we’re turning up the sunshine with our featured Blonde Roast—a mellow, lightly roasted coffee that’s as easy to drink as it is to love. With its smooth body, subtle citrus notes, and clean finish, Blonde Roast is perfect for slow summer mornings or refreshing iced brews on warm afternoons.

🌍 Origin Story: Where It Begins

Our Blonde Roast is crafted from 100% Arabica beans sourced from smallholder farms in Honduras and Ethiopia—two regions known for producing exceptional high-elevation coffee. These beans are grown on sustainably managed farms using eco-friendly practices that support soil health, shade-grown biodiversity, and fair working conditions.

Many of the farmers we work with rely on intercropping methods—growing coffee among native trees and other crops—which helps preserve the natural ecosystem while diversifying their income. The result is not only better for the earth, but also produces a more flavorful bean thanks to nutrient-rich soil and slower, more balanced growth.

The beans are lightly roasted in small batches to highlight their natural character—think gentle floral aromatics, toasted sugar, and just a hint of citrus zest.

☕ Favorite Ways to Enjoy Blonde Roast

Because of its delicate roast level and bright flavor profile, Blonde Roast shines in both hot and cold preparations. Here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy it:

• ✨ Pour Over Perfection

  Highlight the roast’s natural clarity with a pour-over method like a Chemex or V60. It’s ideal for unlocking subtle floral and citrusy notes.

• 🧊 Iced and Refreshing

  Brew strong and serve over ice. Add oat milk and a touch of vanilla syrup for a creamy, dreamy summer treat.

• ☕ French Press Simplicity

  Want more body without bitterness? Try a French press—it softens the brightness just enough while keeping the roast’s smooth character.
