Autumn Equinox Seasonal Blend

By September we're longing for those warm autumn days/cool nights that make us want to roll around in some leaves, pick apples, and roast marshmallows over a bonfire. Cue Autumn Equinox! This year's blend uses three totally different coffees from last year's blend! It's 40% Gabriel Leiva, 30% Ethiopia Idido Ukitee, and 30% Rivense Full Honey.

Gabriel Leiva (Washed): Our story with Gabriel Leiva began long before we actually met him. We had reached out to our friend and coffee exporter Benjamin Paz in the hopes of joining his program through Beneficio San Vicente that connects coffee farmers in Honduras with roasters from across the globe who will commit to buying 100% of the farmer’s coffee. We were specifically searching for a coffee that highlights the classic flavors of coffee from Honduras. And coffee from the Leiva family truly delivers just that: Yummy. Smooth. Drinkable all day long. Classic Pacas! After a year of buying Gabriel’s coffee, we decided to go on an origin trip and meet him in 2023. We returned to Honduras in 2024 and were overjoyed with the opportunity to spend time with the whole Leiva family. 

Ethiopia Idido Ukitee (Washed): This lot comes from smallholder farmers delivering cherries to the Idido Ukitee washing station, in the famed Yirgacheffe growing region in Ethiopia. The coffee delivered to the washing station is grown at altitudes between 1950-2200 MASL and are Ethiopian heirloom varieties. This lot is fully washed and sun-dried on raised beds. 

Rivense Full Honey: In 2023 we traveled to Costa Rica to visit the Ureña family for the first time. Our friendship and their coffee has been such a blessing to us ever since. Regulo and his eldest sons run the farms. When Regulo gained an exportation license and built his own mills he gained complete control over the entire process from seed to exportation. After entering coffee into national competitions, the Ureña family gained global notoriety. The Ureña’s passion is experimentation. They grow unique varieties and only use special fermentation methods.
