Bold flavors of Dark Chocolate, Dried Orange Peel and Berries with a Spicy yet Balanced Dark Roast Finish
Friar Minor presents all of flavors we love in a bolder, more robust package retaining the concentrated structure that only well produced and crafted coffees can offer. Most of the coffee in this blend is processed in the traditional washed method for a coveted clean and crisp finish. But we also love to add a small proportion of natural and honey process coffees to push some lifted fruit through the deeper roast for a wonderful balance that is perfect for adding cream but sweet and clean enough to enjoy on its own.
This old school dark roast is crafted from new emerging pioneer producers and takes its name from the old school name for the followers of Francis of Assisi, the Order of Friars Minor who live fraternally and peacefully in solidarity with the natural world and the poor. In some ways this is the darker old school counterpart to Little Brother in the earlier stages of a journey toward holistic sustainability and expression. We prioritize early stage opportunities for Pioneer Partners to empower their potential through relationships toward a connection in the flow of everyday extraordinary coffee you can believe in.

The Kantutani colonia features three farms linked by the Luque family who experienced early success in the Cup of Excellence. This family and farm are perfect example of the kind of farmers and communities we are drawn to working with—full of love, hope, and potential. This wild but refined coffee presents classic Bolivian lower acidity and flavors of smooth chocolate but with a juicy apple and stone fruit sweetness. |
Bolivia Juan Jose Machicado Icatu Rojo 47% |
Juan Jose Machicado is one of the most earnest producers we know. We first met him and his wife Lydia in 2015 at their modest home in Kantutani’s remote jungle. Passionate about his young farm, Juanjo (as friends call him) had room to grow in quality, and we’ve supported him along the way. His farm has expanded from 4 to over 20 acres, with improved facilities and booming production. We’re thrilled to share his coffee with you - the journey has been incredible, and it tastes amazing! |
Honduras Santa Barbara Natural 3% |
Grown by a few of our friends across a handful of villages on Santa Barbara Mountain who are adventurously trying their hands at the sun dried natural process! All of these farmers are also producing more traditional washed lots the area is famous for so these naturals are fun projects that result in super intense fruit flavors. |
