Mean Streets is our love letter to a classic dark roast. Inspired by the popularity of our Wonderland Holiday Blend, we created a roast that is sweet and smokey without a hint of bitterness. Mean Streets features washed coffees from communities in Huila, Colombia, further showcasing how versatile these coffees can be across a spectrum of roast profiles. Great dark roasts require the utmost attention and care, in order to softly develop the sugars without allowing them to burn. The result is a rich and flavorful brew, that is likely to please any coffee lover in your life.
Huila is one of Colombia’s southernmost coffee-producing departments and is home to its third-highest peak, the Nevado del Huila volcano. According to the FNC, the department accounts for around 18% of Colombia’s total coffee production and received an official Denomination of Origin status in 2013. This particular lot comes from Santa Maria, a town located in the northern part of Huila, not farm from the departmental capital of Neiva. The coffees from this region tend to have bright, sweet flavors such as tangerine or red apple.
