Banshee is a dynamic and layered blend featuring coffee from Colombia and Ethiopia. Grown at altitudes between 1700 and 2400 meters, this coffee is processed using both washed and natural methods. It offers a flavor profile characterized by notes of chocolate syrup, dark caramel, and dried berries. This medium-dark roast is designed to be expressive as an espresso, while also performing well in filter brewing methods and cold brew.
Kimberly Zash and Sara Gibson founded Sightseer Coffee in Austin, Texas in 2022 after meeting at Greater Goods Coffee, where both held roles spanning head roaster, green buyer, QC specialist, and trainer. Sightseer sources 100 percent of its coffee from women farmers and producers, paying prices significantly above fair trade rates. The sourcing goes beyond checking a box: Zash and Gibson look for producers investing in quality and sustainability, supporting projects like the Forest Academy in Colombia for regenerative farming. They roast on a 25 kilo Diedrich CR 25, bringing the same technical rigor from their previous careers to every batch. Imbibe Magazine named Sightseer one of its 75 Places to Watch.
