Hess Family Roasters

This week we are roasting up a nice medium roast: Nicaragua El Diamante, a coffee celebrated for its balanced elegance and refined sweetness. Produced in the prestigious highlands of Jinotega, this "Diamond" of a coffee represents the very best of Nicaraguan high-altitude farming.

While many Central American coffees are prized for their crispness, El Diamante stands out for its incredible smoothness and clean finish. Grown in rich volcanic soil, these beans develop a sophisticated profile that is both comforting and complex. You can expect a beautifully balanced cup featuring bright notes of stone fruit, a honey-like sweetness, and a lingering finish of milk chocolate and roasted almonds.

We are giving this a precise medium roast to highlight its natural sweetness while maintaining that silky, medium body. If you enjoy a vibrant yet smooth coffee that transitions perfectly from your first morning cup to a mid-afternoon treat, the El Diamante is a must-try.

This weekend we are clearing out the rest of our supply from Guatemala Huehuetenango FECCEG. We have new beans coming in and we will be making room over the next few weeks. This is a good chance to catch a deal and try some new roasts. Only a couple bags available at $14 each.

This is a fair trade, organic offering that has chocolate nuttiness and a creamy sweetness with a hint of fruit. Coffee from Guatemala is always a favorite around here and this one is especially drinkable.

Roasting this weekend: Peru Amazonas and Costa Rica La Armistad (subscription roast)

Peruvian coffees are known for being exceptionally clean and smooth, and this microlot from the Amazonas region lives up to that reputation. Grown by a certified organic and fair trade co-op called San Ignacio Rio Amoju near the start of the Amazon River, this offering provides village farmers with purpose and opportunity through sustainable practices.

The beans have been carefully sorted and roasted to highlight their rich, satisfying milk chocolate and hazelnut flavors. You'll find a smooth, sweet, and clean profile in a lighter roast, but we especially love taking this one a little darker to bring out notes of a rich fudge brownie with nuts. It's a mellow, easy-drinking coffee you can enjoy all day!

Planned for this weekend is Colombia Tabi—a unique and vibrant roast from the famed Huila region! Tabi means "good" in the language of the indigenous Guambiano people, and this variety lives up to its name in every cup. Developed by crossing Typica, Bourbon, and Timor Hybrid, Tabi combines resistance to coffee leaf rust with exceptional cup quality, featuring a tall tree with large beans and a rich yield.

This medium roast shines with notes of caramel, red fruit, and chocolate, balanced by clean citrus acidity and a smooth, silky body. You might find hints of orange and apple alongside its creamy sweetness and floral aroma—one sip and you’ll see why it’s praised by coffee enthusiasts and awarded high cupping scores. It's regular coffee - but elevated.
