You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of smell. A dimension of taste. You just crossed over into a fertile volcanic plain in the Kintamani highlands. Referred to as the hidden jewel of the Indonesian Archipelago, it is where Bali Blue Moon was born and raised.

Doing things differently, doing things right. That’s the idea behind the La Eperanza farm and their coffees. Grow great coffee and protect what already exists so that it may be here for the future. Valle de Cauca was born high in the Central Mountain Range in the Trujillo region near the shores of the Cauca River and is picked only at the peak of ripeness to provide a taste experience akin to watching the director’s cut of Blade Runner.

Here at the Village, we try not to play favorites. But, honestly, this is our most beloved decaf we sell. Hands-down. Just don’t tell it we said so, or it will start demanding all kinds of crazy pay raises. It is the same coffee as its caffeinated counterpart, but the Ethiopian Sidamo Decaf is water-processed to remove the caffeine naturally without the use of chemicals. The decaffeination process does slightly alter the flavor, but fret not my friend, for it is still delicious. We roast this decaf to a “city+” level to preserve the exquisite flavors in the bean, though it appears darker due to the decaffeination process. In the cup, this coffee is clean and light in body with a bright dried cherry flavor and a lively floral finish.

Bright, flowery, aromatic. Sounds more like a meadow on a sunny day than what you would traditionally think of as coffee, but this one has it all and more. From the heart of where coffee is said to have first been savored, this delicate coffee is truly a treat for the senses. We roast the Yirgacheffe lightly to a “city+” roast to maintain the delicate flavors and citrusy tones in the cup. This coffee delivers abundant floral and mouth-watering citrus flavors, with a tea-like quality and a peachy aroma that are not to be missed. It shouldn’t come as a surprise. Ethiopians have been at this longer than anyone else and the Yirgacheffe is proof-positive that practice makes perfect. So don’t give up your dreams of a becoming a rock star. We believe in you! Now get in the garage and don’t put the accordion down until the neighbors complain..

This is definitely a coffee you can feel good about buying. Supporting children? Check. Supporting sustainable agriculture? Check. It even tastes great too! We carefully roast it to a full city which brings out the sweetness of the coffee and develops the richness of the brew. This coffee produces a drink that is well balanced and sweet with the flavors of honey, maple and vanilla throughout.

This coffee starts in a group of 3 co-ops and multiple smallholder coffee farmers in the western province of Rwanda in Karambi, Nyamasheke. Meanwhile, back at the washing station, the coffees from all these farms are blended together and meticulously depulped, washed, fermented, and carefully dried on raised patios before being sent for finishing in Kagali. The Gatare Washing Station consistently produces some of the best coffees coming out of Rwanda year after year.
