This naturally processed coffee from Brazil’s Mantiqueira de Minas region is built from lots produced by smallholder farms surrounding São Bartolomeu. Grown at higher elevations and dried on patios at each individual farm, it carries more structure and complexity than the heavy, flat dark roasts people often expect from Brazil. We also approached the roast profile a little differently here. With a slightly shorter development ratio than Smoke & Mirrors, more of the coffee’s natural character stays intact through the roast - giving this single origin dark roast a little more depth, nuance, and Source: brightjenny.ca (roaster’s own copy).

Finca La Mina comes from the mountains of Buesaco in Nariño, Colombia, where third-generation producer Jheison López is carrying forward a serious family legacy. After the passing of his grandfather, Franco José Héctor López, Jheison took responsibility for the farm - producing exceptional coffees that have earned recognition at the Cup of Excellence and other competitions. Sitting at 2,100 MASL, La Mina benefits from the high altitude, varied microclimates, and mineral-rich volcanic soils that have made Nariño one of Colombia’s most celebrated coffee-growing regions. Jheison pairs those condi Source: brightjenny.ca (roaster’s own copy).

For more than 26 years, Wilton has been growing coffee at Granja Paraíso 92 in Cauca, Colombia. His approach sits somewhere between farmer, scientist and relentless tinkerer - pairing meticulous growing practices with a microbiology lab, custom-built equipment and an incredible amount of control over fermentation. At around 1,900 MASL, Granja Paraíso 92 sits in the volcanic soils of Cauca. Wilton uses controlled bioreactors, specific microorganisms and close monitoring throughout processing to build coffees that are intensely expressive, but still precise and clean.

Dream State hits like your daily go-to - but with a slightly demure raised eyebrow. Mulling spice, orange bitters, and rich praline make it smooth and cozy, but there’s just enough weird in the mix to keep you locked in. Built for folks who like their coffee easy-drinking, but still want to feel something. Source: brightjenny.ca (roaster’s own copy).

Dutch cocoa richness meets crisp apple brightness, rounded out by the deep, lingering warmth of sweet tobacco. This smooth, medium roast comes from the legendary Santa Clara estate in Antigua, Guatemala - Bright Jenny’s first-ever coffee purchase back in 2015. Nestled on the fertile slopes of Volcán de Agua, Santa Clara is overseen by fourth-generation producer Ricardo Zelaya, whose meticulous approach to farming and processing ensures every cup is balanced, refined, and deeply satisfying. With a dedication to both quality and sustainability, the farm operates with shade-grown practices, natur Source: brightjenny.ca (roaster’s own copy).

Meet Fugi Station - a bright, lively washed coffee from Rwanda that tastes a little bit like someone dropped a handful of flowers into a glass of lemon cola. Managed by Afrodis Munyangaju, Fugi Station produces coffees with the kind of clean, expressive character that made us fall for Rwandan coffee in the first place. This one is light, juicy and wonderfully easy to keep drinking, with lemon drop sweetness, soft magnolia florals and a fizzy cola-like finish. Source: brightjenny.ca (roaster’s own copy).

This is dark roast, Bright Jenny style - rich and robust without all that oily heaviness. Think molasses and dark chocolate, layered with balance and depth. Perfectly crafted for those who savour their coffee black or with a splash of cream. Grown in Peru, roasted for the steadfast and the wise, this cup is as dependable as your favourite trail boots, and just as rewarding. Source: brightjenny.ca (roaster’s own copy).

This is the decaf that proves you can skip the caffeine without skipping the flavour. With smooth notes of almond butter and cocoa, brightened by a hint of lemon, it’s balanced, rich, and endlessly drinkable. Grown in the highlands of Acatenango, Guatemala, and decaffeinated with the Swiss Water® Process , this cup delivers big on taste without the jitters. Solid, satisfying, and just interesting enough to keep your socks on. Source: brightjenny.ca (roaster’s own copy).
