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 Porfilio Mamani Caturra 50% |
Porfilio, a leading figure in Caranavi's San Ignacio community, always greets us with fireworks before we enter the village, announcing our arrival. This prelude to a joyful reception and meaningful visit highlights his welcoming spirit. An early participant in the Bolivia Cup of Excellence, Porfilio, like his neighbors, is dedicated to coffee and its quality. His family stands as a beacon of hope, with his adult children showing a keen interest in agronomy and coffee. Saint Frank is committed to supporting Porfilio and his family's future. |

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. |
