This Costa Rica Don Claudio Natural coffee is a light-roast bean sourced from the highlands of Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica. It is processed as a natural (sun-dried) lot, grown at altitudes of 1,400–2,000 MASL. The blend features Catuai and Caturra varieties, delivering a bright, fruit-forward cup with notes of bright berries, tamarind syrup, caramelized dates, and lemongrass.
Blind Dog Coffee was founded in 2007 by Mark Berry in Gardnerville, Nevada. Mark developed cancer as a young child that ultimately threatened his eyesight, and by age 49 he became legally blind, ending a 30 year career and prompting him to learn professional coffee roasting. The roastery uses 100% USDA Certified Organic beans with a GMO free, no additives guarantee, and sources ethically in support of fair labour practices. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, reflecting Mark's personal connection to childhood cancer. The business operates a roastery headquarters in Gardnerville alongside a coffee shop and café in nearby Minden.
