NEW! Locally-Roasted Single Origin Coffee by No Apologies
This week’s coffees:
Batch 123 Bean: Guatemala Organic FTO Dry Process Chuacus. Profile: Fresh roasted cocoa nibs and accents of ripe dark fruits...think chocolate sauce, mago & blackberry wine. And, the coffee comes from indigenous groups in Guatemala's rural zones in the Chuacus mountain range, about 1600-1700 meters above sea level. Dry process means that the whole coffee cherries are dried with green seeds still inside - taking a lot longer to dry, which can lead to fruity flavors, body and lower acidity.

Mark’s journey into the world of coffee and espresso took an unexpected turn during the onset of COVID. What started as casual enjoyment evolved into a passionate home-roasting endeavor that brought joy to him, his family and friends & served as a weekly exploration of roasting techniques. Over the past couple of years, and with several roaster upgrades, Mark is excited to join forces with HHF to introduce what we believe is an exceptional product through No Apologies Coffee.

Take the opportunity to gather as much or as little information as you prefer, as we disclose the intricacies of our sourcing.
Environmentally Conscious Packaging: No one is perfect, but we recognize the environmental impact of traditional coffee bags, so we’ve created packaging from materials that break down and biodegrade over time, contributing to a more sustainable coffee experience and by encouraging the use of airtight storage canisters.
