Colombia El Diviso Microlot- 12 oz
Cupping notes : Mandarin, Meyer Lemon, Cashew ButterRoast level : LIGHT
Our Colombian El Diviso microlot, comes from producer Maximino Diaz’ small farm that sits in the Central Andes at a 6,200 foot elevation. The Tolima region, that is home to Maximino, is experiencing a transformation—from poverty and violence, due to the Colombian conflict, to a rebounding market for their high quality beans, offering a vehicle of change for its people.
In addition to producing fine coffee beans, Maximino is dedicated to nurturing his land and its wildlife. He not only grows sustenance crops such as maize and beans, he has also created a small nature reserve that provides a nesting site for the Colombian chachalaca. This turkey-like, native bird is not endangered but has seen a continual declining population. It is Maximino’s commitment to give back to the land that has been so generous to him.
El Diviso is a complex coffee with cinnamon and milk chocolate aromas , mandarin and meyer lemon acidity and smooth cashew butter undertones.

French Roast, 12 oz.
Cupping notes : Deep Smokiness, Browned Butter, Caramel
Roast level : Dark
We choose the coffees for this blend for their ability to be enhanced by a deep, dark roast. This allows for intense flavors such as baker’s chocolate, sweet graham cracker and aromatic, cedar-like wood to accompany rich smokiness in both flavor and aroma. A lightly syrupy mouthfeel and low acidity allow this intensely flavorful coffee to both counter and complement rich desserts or a fresh baked morning pastry.

Named after the restaurant that Carlo’s brother Franco Di Ruocco owned, Ristorante Villanova (Oakland circa 1980) – and the house blend that was served there. Its mild intensity embodies the essential characteristics of a classic American roast, yet reflects our passion for traditional, wood fired roasting. The Villanova House Blend is sweet enough to serve as a dessert coffee and mild enough to enjoy throughout the day.
