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.

Bolivia Isidro Mamani 47% |
San Ignacio was the first village we visited in Bolivia in 2014. Don Pablo caught our attention, then we bought from other Mamanis. This is one of the most dedicated, loyal communities globally. San Ignacio loves celebrating with dancing and a full village band. Visiting leaves a lasting impression through joy, commitments and pleading to not be forgotten. How could we forget? We hope you enjoy these unforgettable coffees. |

Bolivia Alberto Mamani 50% |
Grown by Alberto Mamani in the San Ignacio community of Caranavi, Bolivia. Alberto is one of the warmest and most encouraging farmers we work with anywhere. We hadn’t tasted his coffee until finally visiting his remote village but ever since then his coffee and presence in our community is a must. Alberto is always filled with gratitude and takes a hopeful view toward our partnership making room to grow the potential of his Catuai and “Criollo” (the local name for Typica) with classic Bolivian flavors ranging from chocolate to cherry to apple. |

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. |
