Monkey Bite strikes back! Why do we call it Monkey Bite? Relive the harrowing tale with Chuck Patton in the linked video at the end!
Direct Trade beans from Finca Santa Ana in Guatemala comprise a significant portion of this blend. This is a relationship we have strengthened over the better part of a decade, working with Fernando to strengthen the quality of his non-mic

rolot offerings. While we love the elusive top tier microlot, farmers more often rely on larger lots to support their farms. In addition, through our Beyond the Bean program, we have helped to plant new seed stock at the farm -- about 15 new varietals including Mokka and Geisha. In a few years, these shrubs will give Finca Santa Ana more varietals to sell to specialty roasters and add another dimension to this already great farm.
Our Farm-to-Cup Uganda Sipi Falls also plays a part in this incarnation of Monkey Bite. Another Beyond the Bean offering, we have helped to support an orphanage in Uganda since 2012. As well as being certified organic, the mill is Rainforest Alliance Certified, meaning that the farms that produce the coffee for this lot, must have safe working conditions and must pay their employees a sustainable wage. The sourcing on this trip exemplifies our standards - even though we worked directly with the Sipi Falls Mill, the Ugandan government, and an international non-profit, we don’t call it direct trade because we didn't work with all 3,347 farmers one-on-one.
A natural processed organic Ethiopian rounds out this blend with a huge intensity that you will immediately notice in the cup. Layers of praline, vanilla, caramel and apricot with dark chocolate and bitter orange finish. Lightly denatured with milk in a macchiato or cappuccino the flavors space out nicely.
This espresso blend is actually great any way you make it - Aeropress is a fun way - but for espresso machines we recommend dose of 22 grams resulting in about 24 grams (call it a fluid ounce) and a total extraction of 27-34 seconds with the first drops visible at 10-12 seconds.
