An uncommon balance between bright and sweet stone fruits with lower toned flavors of rich milk chocolate, caramel, and honey
Little Brother always features relationship coffees that stand on their own as single origin offerings from small scale producers we know, so the overall quality, balance and consistency is rarely matched in an espresso blend. Even with such consistent coffees, we also roast each component separately to align their development and solubility for the most even extraction possible. Always a breeze to dial in as espresso and easy to brew using your favorite filter method.
Little Brother is our reference to the company of Saint Francis as well as an expression of our vision in sourcing and sharing coffees. Francis affectionately called his group of friends as the “little brothers” never taking themselves too seriously while at the same time serving one another and the world with a familial connection. Little Brother Espresso is our attempt to give you something unassuming and humble yet inherently special and significant, sweet and approachable yet still compelling. We always comprise Little Brother with coffees from small family farmers, the true source of the coffee stream flowing throughout the world.

Bolivia Pico de Tucán 50% |
Pablo Yana’s Pico de Tucán (“Tucan’s Beak”) was one of the first Bolivian coffees we carried, beginning in 2014. Tasting it over a decade shows both top quality and consistency, proving why Pablo leads his village in coffee and community. These coffees are bright and soft at the same time. While Don Pablo previously combined all lots together, he now separates them for more particular expressions of terroir, resulting in coffees that evoke the place and person who made them. |

Honduras La Terraza 50% |
This coffee is the collection of various lots from the three farms that together form a geological terrace ‘terraza’ on the Santa Barbara mountain just outside of El Cedral. Two lots sit on the top of the terrace while the third skirts beneath them on steeper slopes planted with the flagship Pacas and other supporting varieties that offer a balanced representative expression of this unique site and the classic Santa Barbara mountain terroir. La Terraza represents the unique characteristics and potential of this site as well as the relationship and community formed between this family and Saint Frank. |
