Produced by over 2,500 smallholder farmers, this washed coffee is grown in volcanic soil. It features the SL28 and SL34 varieties, known for their high quality and vibrant character. The flavor profile is sweet and floral, with distinct notes of peach, honeysuckle, and milk chocolate.
Christian Johnson founded Spyhouse Coffee Roasters in 2000 in Minneapolis, and the company became a farm to cup operation in 2013 when it opened a dedicated roasting facility in the city's Northeast arts district. Spyhouse has earned two Good Food Awards, for its Juan Domingo from Guatemala and Dimtu Tero from Ethiopia, and its staff are active across Specialty Coffee Association events and the Barista Guild Executive Council. The roastery was acquired by FairWave Coffee Collective in 2021, expanding its reach while maintaining the sourcing and roasting standards that built its reputation in the Twin Cities over more than two decades.
