We want to make sure your coffee arrives at your door as fresh as possible. That's why we only roast it after you order it. We label it with the roast date and pack it in a heat-sealed reclosable, zipper-seal bag designed to maintain freshness. An embedded one-way valve allows carbon dioxide produced by the roasted coffee to escape and keeps the oxygen and moisture out.
 
Our coffee is packaged in 16 oz. bags. This is 25% more than the typical 12 oz. packages often sold by specialty coffee roasters. We start with over a lb. of green (water is expelled from the bean in the roasting process) so that the final roast is a full 16 oz. This is important to keep in mind when comparing prices.

Africa
 
    Ethiopia Longberry Harrar Horse
This washed African coffee has a complex flavor, a unique fruity undertone and a wine-like acidity. It has a gentle, round body with a slightly fermented aftertaste and a muted blueberry finish. A light-to-medium-roast with willpower to let it rest a day or two and not to grind it right out of the roaster will bring out this superb coffee's true character.

    Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is a light-to-medium-bodied, balanced coffee with a distinctive flavor. It has a mild floral aroma and a citrus-like finish as the cup cools. It is best roasted to a medium (city) roast to allow its bright and almost lemony flavors to shine through.

    Kenya AA
This is a very nice and very acidic African coffee. I'll write a better description later - I just wanted to get this online :)

    Tanzania Peaberry
Coffee cherries are actually dicotyledone, meaning they have two halves to their seeds (the actual coffee beans). Peaberries occur as roughly 2% of a normal coffee crop and grow as a single bean instead of two halves. This produces a smaller, more dense and supposedly more flavorful bean. While every coffee has peaberries, Tanzania (and a few other countries/farms) separates, bags and sells them as a separate product. I'm not sure why they do this, but I'm very glad they do! This is a very buttery coffee with a fantastic aroma. It brews a very smooth, mellow, medium-bodied cup with a flavor that lingers long after that cup is empty. It has the hallmark acidity and fruitiness of the Africans as well.

    Zimbabwe AA Estate
Zimbabwean coffees are balanced, complex and have great body. Roasted to full city, this bean is not too bright, not too bold, and still has the "wild" taste that distinguishes African coffees from others in the world. If balanced is your way, try Zimbabwe!

Arabia
 
    Yemen Mocca
This coffee is why you buy a grinder! The rich collage of earthy, nutty, chocolatey, spicy and floral flavors is amazing and it deserves to be ground just before brewing a great medium-bodied cup of delicious coffee. This is one of our favorites... can you tell? We'll be happy to grind it for you, but it's almost a crime to do it before it has properly rested and you're ready to brew it. If you like coffee a bit heavier but want this amazing flavor, check out our Mocca Java Blend!

Blends
 
    Echo Blend
I wrestled with the name of this one for weeks. I just couldn't find anything that reflected the excellent aroma and the long aftertaste of this blend. In the end, I settled on Echo Blend because of the lingering, sweet, nutty aftertaste that rings on your palate between sips and long after you've drained the 8-cup mug on your desk. Its light acidity and medium body makes it a good coffee for any time of the day!

    Foggy Morning Blend
A typical morning coffee blend has a light, acidic and overall brighter flavor and uses primarily Central and South American coffees. Our blend is all that mixed with a slightly darker-roasted Sumatran that weighs on your tongue like a blanket of fog that gently filters out the new morning sun... or something. Just drink it. You'll love it.
$10.65/lb.
     lb.    
 
    Foggy Morning Blend Decaf
Foggy Morning Blend Decaf is a slight variation of the original (due to coffee availability). It also makes a great after-dinner coffee for those who prefer a bit more sharpness to an evening cup or if you don't want the caffeine in your morning wake-me-up coffee.

    Kindred Espresso Blend (full pound)
Our espresso blend is very clean and bold with excellent crema! The shot is balanced and "caramelly" and will punch through milk-based drinks (lattes, cappuccinos) without being harsh.

    Kindred Espresso Blend (half pound)
If you're a "weekend junkie" for lattes or cappuccinos and don't want a stale end to a full pound by the time you use it all, order a half pound at a time so you can pull the freshest possible espresso! To give you an idea of quantity, at one tablespoon of coffee per one ounce shot, a half pound will brew about 28-30 shots.

    Mocca Java Blend
This is the perfect blend of organic Sumatran and naturally processed Yemen coffees, each roasted to its best stage. It is the blend that most people think of when they think "coffee." We have come to think of "mocha" or "moka" or "mocca" or "mokha" (ad infinitum) as meaning "chocolate flavored" but it is nothing more than the name of the ship port in Yemen that is no longer used. Likewise, "Java" is an island in Indonesia, but people use the term to describe coffee in general. Here you have both of the misconceptions perfectly blended into a very real and fantastic cup of medium-heavy bodied coffee.

    Rhino Blend
Our Rhino Blend is a very nice, medium-bodied mix of organic Indonesian and African coffees. Each is roasted to its best stage then blended for balance with a smooth yet bold flavor with a touch of the signature African fruitness shining through. It is a great blend for richer medium-bodied coffee lovers! It takes its name because rhinoceros... rhinocereroses... rhinoceri (??) are native to both the Indonesian and African countries sharing origins with the coffees used.

    Costa Rica SHB (DECAF-MC)
The MC decaffeination process removes nearly 99 percent of the caffeine without robbing the coffee of its flavor (as some other decaf methods). This strictly hard bean (SHB) is balanced and smooth with a full body. It is perfect for anyone who loves coffee, but doesn't want the caffeine!

    Costa Rica Tarrazu Fruta de Oro
This is a very nice, full-bodied coffee with smooth, classic qualities and a fantastic aroma. The strictly hard beans (SHB) from the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica is a clean, balanced coffee that any coffee lover would approve!

    El Salvador Santa Rita
This is a fantastic coffee with a great body and a wonderful finish. The aroma of a freshly ground and brewed pot is divine and the flavor explodes on your tongue, lingers for a moment and comes back for a quick second round in a great after-taste.

    Guatemala Antigua Los Volcanes (shade grown)
This medium-to-full-bodied coffee delivers a rich aroma with pronounced acidity and a floral note. Its complex flavor makes it a great selection for lighter-bodied coffee drinkers.
$9.25/lb.

    Mexican Chiapas (organic, shade grown)
This organically-grown bean is from the Mexican state of Chiapas near the border of Guatemala. It is a light and acidic coffee with a delicate body. Light-to-medium bodied coffee drinkers will truly enjoy this! They'll probably enjoy it more knowing it's organically grown in the shade of the standing rain forest. Yes, I know Mexico is in North America, but it's in my Central American classification 'cause I didn't want another category :)

    Panama Decaf
This is a Swiss Water decaf with the hallmark acidity and pungency of the Central Americans. The SW process makes it a bit less flavorful, but it's still a good, sharp cup without the caffeine!

Hawaii
 
    Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy
"Extra Fancy" is the highest grade and most prized coffee coming from Hawaii. These trees are grown in dark volcanic soil at high altitude in the natural shade of mango, macadamia nut and avacado trees. Follow this ideal situation with a careful attention to post-harvest processing and you end up with a superb coffee. It brews a clean, medium body cup with nice acidity with a hint of spice. The aroma is also amazing!

India
 
    Monsooned Malabar
This is a very peculiar bean, to say the least. The warehouses in India are opened up and the monsoon rains are allowed to wash over the coffee for months, producing a rather large, pale bean with very earthy flavors. While the smell of the freshly-ground roast is incredible, the taste is light and musty. It is typically used in blends, but some brave souls choose to drink it straight. If very earthy, funky coffee is your thing, you might find yourself among the brave enjoying a cup of nice full city roast (almost Vienna) Monsooned Malabar!

Indonesia
 
    Sumatra Decaf (MC)
This is a deep-flavored decaf, truly representing the Sumatra flavor and body. It's methyl-cloride processed so it retains its flavor and aroma. If you like the slight chocolate finish and heavier mouth feel of a regular Sumatra, but want an after-dinner cup, here's your product!
$9.65/lb.
     lb.    
 
    Sumatra Gayoland (organic, fair trade, shade grown)
This coffee delivers a very earthy, full-bodied cup with a very complex flavor. It is not for the faint of heart or for light, acidic coffee lovers. Anyone who enjoys a rich, complex heavier-bodied coffee with a naturally chocolatey finish will fall in love with this coffee! As an added bonus, it's organically grown under the canopy of rain forests without deforestation of our precious Earthly resources.

South America
 
    Brazil Monte Carmelo
This Brazilian coffee is a very mellow, medium-bodied, low-key coffee. While some do drink Brazilian coffees straight, they are typically used as blend bases because they have no distinct qualities of their own. Not all Brazilian coffees are this way, however; "Bourbons" such as Monte Allegre are very distinctive, stand on their own as an excellent coffee and lend wonderful qualities to blends!

    Columbia Medellin Supremo
While the Coffee Federation of Columbia typically amasses the country's coffees, dumps them into a big factory and sorts the entire lot for quality, this is a bean from a private farm and mill in the southwestern part of the country. It is a medium-bodied, classic coffee with no overbearing qualities and is an excellent selection for any coffee drinker.
$9.10/lb.
     lb.    
 
    Columbia Taloca (DECAF-MC)
This coffee, like its Popayan caffeinated counterpart, is from a private farm in Columbia. The MC decaffeination process leaves the natural oils to be reabsorbed back into the bean without washing them away as some other methods do, so the flavor is left in the coffee. This brews a medium-bodied, classic cup without all the caffeine.
