This washed processed coffee is certified organic and comes from the western highlands of Guji. Suke Quto is an idea as much as a washing station and farm, with heirloom Typica varietals and a community of farmers delivering coffee cherry to the washing station. Flavor notes include Meyer lemon, bergamot, bancha tea, and milk chocolate, with a weighty, clean profile ideal for drinking at any time.
Speckled Ax was founded in 2007 in Portland, Maine, originally under the name Matt's Wood Roasted Organic Coffee. The roastery's defining feature is its fuel: all coffee is roasted on a vintage 20 kilogram Petroncini from the 1970s fired with locally sourced, kiln dried Maine hardwoods including red oak, maple, and ash. It is one of a handful of wood fired coffee roasters in the United States. The approach produces a roast character distinct from conventional gas fired methods, adding a subtle depth that has earned Speckled Ax a Good Food Award. They offer both certified organic blends and high quality conventional single origins, all ethically sourced.
