This coffee is a blend of Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, Pache, and Paca varieties from the Santa Maria de Jesus region of Guatemala. It is washed-processed and light-roasted, offering a silky, round body with a sweet, fruity base. Flavor notes include maraschino cherry, banana, vanilla, orange marmalade, and strawberry. The coffee has a slight acidity that adds balance, with a clean finish. As it cools, the flavors become more pronounced, revealing layered complexity.
Augusto Carneiro, a Brazilian native, founded Nossa Familia Coffee in Portland, Oregon in 2004 after leaving an engineering career to pursue his passion for coffee. His familys connection to coffee cultivation runs deep: great grandfather and three brothers planted the familys first crop in Brazils highlands in 1890, establishing a legacy that spans over a century. The roastery operates Loring roasters and became Oregons first certified B Corp coffee roaster in 2016, achieving a B Impact score of 90.2, and holds Certified Organic certification by Oregon Tilth. Selection as a finalist for Roast Magazines 2020 Roaster of the Year reflects the roasterys commitment to quality, sustainability, and positive business practices.
