Origin & Farm Information
Our Watering Hole coffee is a masterfully crafted blend of premium beans from the esteemed coffee-growing regions of Colombia and Peru. These beans are cultivated at elevations ranging from 4,000 to 6,500 feet above sea level, where the high-altitude environment promotes slow bean maturation. This slow growth enhances the beans' density and complex flavors while naturally reducing pest populations, thereby minimizing the need for pesticides. The average temperatures in these regions range from 60°F to 75°F, creating a stable and cool climate. Local farmers employ traditional hand-picking methods to ensure only the highest quality beans are harvested, preserving the integrity and distinctive character of each batch.
Roasting Level & Process
Our Watering Hole coffee undergoes a medium roast, expertly calibrated to balance the beans' inherent sweetness with a rich, full-bodied profile. The roasting process is carefully controlled to develop a harmonious blend of flavors without overpowering the coffee’s natural characteristics. This medium roast enhances the beans' vibrant acidity and complex flavor notes, resulting in a smooth and balanced cup that highlights the unique attributes of both Colombian and Peruvian beans. By maintaining this precise roasting level, we ensure that each sip delivers both depth and clarity, making it a versatile choice for various brewing methods and palates.
