Story

Triangle Accent

Our beloved Summer Solstice is named for the beginning of the season and the longest day of the year when Earth’s North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun. This offering is built specifically for all-day, everyday drinking. It’s unapologetically fruit-forward and refreshing. Think pool/beach/river days. Think grillin' & chillin'. It’s a celebration of the days that feel as if they go on forever. Summertime!

The original vision for the flavor profile of this coffee was to embody something refreshing, vibrant, and fun. Our blends are always created with balance in mind, so it’s guaranteed to shine any way you brew and always please a crowd. And of course, it's particularly delicious iced!

This season we’ve arrived at a 50/50 blend of our natural processed Ethiopia, Bookkisa, and washed-processed Colombia from Didier Ortega. You’ll taste Bookkisa’s influence in the silky white sugar sweetness and fruit punchy flavors like red grape and raspberry. Didier Ortega adds layers of brightness and complexity via citrus, honey, and tropical fruits. Each coffee brings unique elements that synchronize to create intensely sweet and lively flavors in the final cup. We’re tasting: orange wine, mango, pineapple, plum, strawberry, cherry, vanilla, honey, tepache, cinnamon, butterscotch, sugarcane, sweet tea, and milk chocolate.

We roast on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and fulfill orders on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

We travel to countries of origin and establish relationships with producers to ensure the integrity of our coffee. Since we opened our doors on day one, we have been working in partnership with the two most important ends of the 1000 Faces spectrum: the grower and the customer. It is this partnership that is at the foundation for real economic sustainability for not just us, but all parties involved. We believe that respect for geographic origin, direct relationships, and ecological awareness is the basis for creating a more sustainable coffee culture. Building on these principles, from seed to cup, 1000 Faces has set out to help you buy fresh roasted coffee beans of unsurpassed integrity and quality.
