Amigas Blend is our low-acid single origin coffee: a white honey Costa Rica from the women-led Zalmari Estate, roasted low and slow to a medium for caramel, fudge and baked blueberry. Third-party mold-tested and small-batch roasted in Denver.
For years, choosing a low-acid coffee meant choosing a dark roast. Amigas changes that. Fourth-generation producer Cecilia Genis and her mother, Marigold Murray, longtime members of the International Women's Coffee Alliance, prepare this lot as a white honey process, which builds sugar and body into the bean. Our longer, gentler roast softens the sharp acids light roasts are known for while keeping all of that sweetness. It's the medium-roast companion to Platt Park Dark, our low-acid dark roast.
