Produced by smallholders on the slopes of Southwest Antioquia, one of the largest coffee-producing regions in Colombia.
Lime, red apple, juicy
Washed Excelso lot from Southern Huila, decaffeinated via the sugarcane EA process which preserves flavor while removing 98–99% of caffeine.
Snickerdoodle, brown sugar, creamy
Washed coffee from 310 smallholder producers in Shakiso, Guji. Cherries are hand-picked, depulped within six hours, fermented 24–36 hours, washed, and slowly dried on raised beds — clean, delicate cup with floral aromatics and a tea-like finish.
Floral, lemon, black tea
Grown at 1,800–1,900 meters in Ethiopia's Sidama region, this naturally processed coffee is dried with the fruit intact for 16 days for a round, deeply sweet cup layered with stone fruit, chocolate, nougat, and almond.
Dark chocolate, dates, plum, nougat, almond
A classic organic washed Yirgacheffe grown at high elevation — clean and vibrant with layered floral notes, citrus brightness, and a tea-like finish.
Jasmine, bergamot, lemon zest, stone fruit, honeyed sweetness
Naturally processed coffee from family-run Finca El Platanillo in the Antigua valley, Rainforest Alliance certified. Bold yet balanced, shines as espresso.
Cherry, plum, vanilla, brownie
Grown in the volcanic highlands surrounding the Leuser Range, wet-hulled in Indonesia's traditional Giling Basah method for a rich, creamy, full-bodied cup.
Dark chocolate, cedar, sweet tobacco, baking spice
A dark-roast blend sourced from Papua New Guinea, Colombia, and Honduras, designed for espresso but versatile across brew methods.
Dark chocolate, caramelized sugar, subtle citrus
Grown by E-Cafe Chiapas, fermented 10–14 hours, washed, and dried on raised beds in a greenhouse. E-Cafe funds a boarding school and affordable financing for local producers.
Honey, black tea, sweet citrus
Organic lot from the Korofeigu Cooperative, grown under native shade trees without synthetic fertilizers, fully washed and sun-dried.
Caramel, citrus, tropical, juicy, cranberry
A custom blend crafted and approved by the firefighters at SDFD Station 7.
Dark chocolate, almond, berry, tart
Common Good's flagship espresso blend — sweet berry with tartness and a velvety chocolate body.
Dark chocolate, almond, berry, tart
From the highlands of Honduras — volcanic soil, high elevation, and generations of farming knowledge producing balanced, expressive coffee.
Caramel, almond, toffee, apple, apricot
Common Good's all-time best seller — fresh berries and warm almond up front, smooth medium body (City/Medium roast), citrus acidity that doesn't overpower.
