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.

Jesus Sabillon began cultivating coffee, leveraging the knowledge and experience passed down from his own father. In 2015, he passed down a plot of land to his son, David, as part of his heritage, encouraging him to establish his own farm. Later, Jesus in turn inspired David by starting to prepare specialty coffee in 2018, which David followed suit in 2020. |

Before becoming a coffee producer, Enrique was a day laborer who moved to Tegucigalpa at 18 to work for a water system company, eventually saving enough to buy land and send money to his father for farming. In 1995, he quit his job to focus entirely on coffee production, meeting Nahun in 2007 who helped him improve his farm management, and by 2019, he was processing and selling special coffee, a practice he continues today. |
