Mostly Sunny
Mostly Sunny is a single origin coffee from Chiapas Mexico. Roasted locally on Maui, it is a sweet, fruity, and floral coffee named in honor of the ever-changing weather on the island where it’s served. It is a single varietal, Catigua MG2, that is grown and produced by Seis Generaciones in Chiapas. Catigua is grown on the San Ramon plantation of their Peru Paris estate, at just under 1000 M above sea level under the shade of native coffee trees with volcanic soils and perfect natural weather conditions.
We enjoy it as a pour-over, where in the cup it begins with a sweet caramel body with a hint of lemon peel. As the cup cools, you’ll notice the fruit and floral notes arrive with strawberry, currant, and a hint of raspberry.

Six Generations
This single origin roast from Chiapas Mexico is named to honor it’s famers, who have been producing the highest quality coffee for six generations. Obata is a new varietal grown in their Paris lot on the Peru Paris Estate, it was originally developed in Brazil, but has now become common in Costa Rica and Mexico as it is a rust-resistant plant with a high yielding cup, which is ideal for farmers. In the cup, it brings together all the flavors of a rocky road sundae or a perfectly roasted s’mores; dark chocolate, nougat, and toast, and it finished with sweet toasted almond and black tea. We have found Six Generations to be a perfect roast for Cold Brew, as well as a nice daily drinker on drip, and a consistent and smooth espresso.

Tabi
This single origin coffee comes from the Quindio region of Colombia. It was grown by Leonid Ramirez at the microlot farm La Cortina de Hierro, where it is the only varietal grown. After harvesting, the coffee cherries were exposed to a dry aerobic fermentation of 24 hours and then placed inside grainpro bags for 50 hours maintaining a temperature below 22 degrees celsius. Finally, the coffee was pulped, gently washed, and placed on raised beds until ideal moisture content was achieved.
The varietal of Tabi is a hybrid of bourbon, typica, and timor that was developed in Colombia by Federación Nacional de Cafeteros. In the cup, we get a delicious balance of floral and fruit notes that make the perfect pour-over. We taste jasmine, cantaloupe, sugarcane, and cacao.
Origin: Quindio, Colombia
