This coffee is sourced from Mexico, specifically the Chiapas region, at an altitude of 1500 meters. It is produced by multiple smallholding farmers and consists of a blend of Typica, Catuai, Bourbon, and Garnica varieties. The coffee undergoes a washed fermentation process and is decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. It features a flavor profile characterized by notes of custard, vanilla, and milk chocolate.
Carrier Roasting Co. was founded in 2011 by Ben Doxtator in Northfield, Vermont. The roastery operates a vintage Probat L12, producing lighter roast profiles designed to highlight origin characteristics in small batches. Sourcing is built on direct trade relationships with personal connections to farmers and importers, and the range includes single origin coffees and seasonal micro lots. Vermont Magazine named Carrier the best coffee roaster in the state. The café at Depot Square serves espresso, pour over, and retail beans, and the wholesale side supplies cafés and restaurants throughout Vermont.
