Feather In Cap Blend / Medium-Dark Roast Coffee
Roast: Medium-Dark Roast
Character: Brown Sugar, Cocoa, Dried Fruit
Feather In Cap came about after months of trying to land on an espresso blend that was the perfect balance of a rich cocoa body, dried fruit, and crisp citrus notes. As we were trying to decide on a name my father walked in and said that finally achieving this blend was a feather in our cap. So that’s what we named it.
Our Feather In Cap blend was developed for espresso but is a wonderfully rich and dynamic drip coffee also.
This is a washed whole bean coffee but a ground option is available.

About The Washed Coffee Process: The washed coffee process is a method of processing coffee beans in which the outer layers of the fruit are removed before the beans are dried. This process begins by removing the outer layers of the coffee cherry, which reveals the green coffee beans inside. These beans are then placed in water tanks, where they are agitated to remove any remaining bits of fruit. The beans are then rinsed and left to soak for some time, during which any defective beans will float to the surface and can be removed. After the soaking period, the beans are drained and spread out to dry in the sun. Once the beans have dried to the appropriate moisture content, they are hulled to remove the remaining dried layers of fruit and are then sorted and packaged for shipment.
RELATIONSHIPS
All things being equal, we want to collaborate with people we can have long lasting friendships with. Even though quality is always top of mind, what is equally imporant are the relationships we’ve developed over the years with farmers and green coffee reps.
ROASTING COFFEE
All of our coffee is roasted on our new, state-of-the-art Loring S15. The Loring is the most energy efficient, consistent and quality focused coffee roaster in the market. Our goal is to roast each coffee in order to maximize its natural flavors without imparting any roast characteristics. This makes our coffee rich, sweet and flavorful.
BREWING COFFEE
Brewing coffee is one of the most overlooked processes in the entire chain. Especially at home, most people do not take the time to learn or implement proper brewing techniques. This can lead to poorly extracted coffee and inconsistent flavor. Focus on dosing out a consistent weight of coffee to water and using a proper burr grinder to grind your coffee right before brewing.
