What’s Updog?
Glad you asked! This blend is a shoutout to all the amazing dogs, pets, and animal lovers we serve! $1 from each bag sale will be donated to the Humane Society of the Harrisburg Area! The blend is roasted to a solid city (medium) style and is a blend of Rwanda and Colombia. Notes of mandarin orange, lavender, and butterscotch!
This beautiful and delicious lot from a longstanding partnership between Keffa Coffee and the CV. Kuala Bengi Coffee Cooperative showcases everything a Sumatra coffee should be! This coffee is traditionally wet-hulled and has notes of sugar cookie, dried cherry, toasted almonds, and honey! This single origin features Tim Tim and Borbor varietals of Arabica and is considered a sweeter and lower-acidity coffee. Easier on your stomach, but deliciously full-bodied in flavor. We roast this to a medium roast and recommend you try brewing it through your favorite automatic drip machine!

———————————
Umuko Coffee may be a new company but their legacy is over 43 years in the making. Jean Christophe (Chris) Rusatira’s family has been growing and processing coffee in Rwanda for more than four decades and during that time their profits have remained extremely low, with little to no improvement to the quality of life in the community. Umuko Coffee is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty in coffee farming communities who have long suffered from unfair practices in the industry. Umuko is the Kinyarwandan name for a native East African tree species which held great significance for the people of the region. It is the spirit of sustainability and care that is at the heart of Umuko Coffee’s unique business model. Umuko Coffee gives smallholder coffee farmers and processors like Chris’s family a voice and will ensure transparency and connectivity from cherry to cup.
