This coffee originates from the mountainous community of San Lucas Zoquiapam, Mexico. It features a complex flavor profile that balances refreshing, bright notes of Meyer lemon, bing cherry, dried pineapple, and kumquat marmalade with a syrupy, grounded foundation of buttercream cookies, black walnut, bitter cocoa, amber honey, and mossy puerh tea. This coffee offers a dynamic experience that transitions from youthful brightness to a rich, sweet, and bitter finish.
Established in 2016 by veteran roaster Stephen Rogers, who brings 25 years of experience to the craft, Pipe & Tabor is located in Red Hook, Brooklyn NY. At the heart of their operation sits a signature 1953 Barth Novo Cito cast iron drum roaster, a machine that relies on the roaster's sensory skills: smell, color development, and time rather than digital instruments. They source through Red Fox Coffee Merchants and demonstrate their commitment to farmer welfare by paying 4 to 6 times higher than commodity market prices. This dedication to quality at every stage defines their approach to roasting.
