Costa Rica El Indio is a single-origin washed coffee from Hacienda La Minita, Tarrazú, Costa Rica. Grown at 1800 meters, it features the Catuai varietal and is processed Washed. The coffee is roasted Light, with flavor notes of caramel, orange, and milk chocolate.
Elevator Coffee was founded in 2016 by Jay Sycip and Andrew Coe in Portland, Oregon. Coe, the head roaster and coffee buyer, won the 2023 U.S. Coffee Roasting Championship and placed third at the World Coffee Roasting Championships in Taipei the same year. The roastery previously operated a cafe in SE Portland until Fall 2020, then pivoted to a wholesale and online model, roasting to order and shipping weekly. A 96 point Coffee Review score ranks it among the top roasters in the Northwest. The ethos is summed up in a tagline: roasted by nerds, not snobs.
