This is a limited edition Nicaragua Maragogype coffee, also known as the "Elephant Bean" - one of the rarest coffee varieties in the world. It is a light-medium roast organic coffee processed with 108.4-hour carbonic maceration natural fermentation. The coffee has a vibrant, fruit-forward profile with notes of caramelized honey, juicy bubblegum, black cherry, and jasmine blossoms, with a silky, jammy finish. Grown at 1,200–1,475 MASL altitude.
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.
