Friar Minor

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.

Kantutani is one of Bolivia’s most compelling coffee sites, offering both classic qualities and bold, fruity-herbal flavors that reflect its wild terrain. Euologio Luque, farming for 40 years alongside his family, cultivates Catuai and Typica with care and has recently renovated his farm with new plants and techniques. This remote community, where we also partner with his sister Lydia and her husband Juan Jose, represents both deep relationships and exciting potential, making us proud to share their coffees.

Bolivia Jaime Condori

47%

Grown by Jaime Condori in the Kantutani community of Caranavi, Bolivia. Jaime cultivates a small plot originally planted to the traditional varieties of Typica and Caturra but in recent years he has added Catuai and Geisha. He is an incredibly humble and earnest producer inspired by the success of his neighbors in such a remote region. We are thrilled with his ongoing progress where wildy fruited rustic flavors are becoming more and more refined with great length and structure.

Honduras Santa Barbara Natural

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.
