Otoño (Fall Roast) | Wholesale
“Otoño” (which translates to ‘fall’ in Spanish) is a limited seasonal roast crafted to keep you warm & caffeinated all fall season—whether that be in the crisp morning air, mid-afternoon breeze, or chilly cold evening. We wanted to offer you a coffee that you can enjoy while you’re curled up with a blanket and a good book. As the kids say, “it’s giving french press and campfire.”
You’ll find that this roast is a bit darker than usual and more developed to increase the body and mouthfeel. The tasting notes lend to more baked nuts and fruit with undertones of baking spices.
This is a pre-blend roast meaning we mix the green bean together prior to roasting. As the coffee is from the same altitude and farm, they roast at a relatively consistent degree. Pre-roasting Otoño seems to round out the flavors, making them more harmonious. The alternative would be to roast all 3 components separately before blending, but we feel that would lead to certain flavors standing out too much and potentially overshadowing others.
The label design (hand drawn by our very own Paula Krassa) illustrates the real-time seasonal fall changes happening to our family coffee trees in Honduras: the perfect visual representation of the red, orange, & green coffee cherry maturity process you’ll see in the fall season at our family farms!
