Corktown Blend: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Washed & Brazil Ines Yellow Bourbon
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Washed
- Farm: Various Smallholder Farms
- Farmer: Various Smallholders
- Country of Origin: Ethiopia
- Region: Sede, Yirgacheffe
- Variety: Heirloom Ethiopia
- Process: Washed
- Altitude: 1780-1870 MASL
Factoid: Ethiopia is known in the coffee industry as the producer of some of the finest coffees in the world. It is the birthplace of Coffea Arabica, or coffee as we know it. Because this region has had generations to develop genetic diversity, it is an incredibly nuanced region for flavor and delicacy. Expect a depth of floral and fruit flavors from these washed heirloom varietals.
Brazil Ines Yellow Bourbon
- Farm: Fazenda Santa Ines
- Farmer: The Pereira family
- Country of Origin: Brazil
- Region: Carmo de Minas, Minas Gerais
- Variety: Yellow Bourbon
- Process: Natural
- Altitude: 900-1050 MASL
Factoid: The Pereira family turned a sharp focus toward quality since they took over the farm in 1979. Fazenda Santa Ines was planted with new varietals even though it already had coffee crop. The farm went on to produce the world record holder for the highest scored specialty coffee. The Pereira’s have a keen focus on soil health and diversity on the farm; less than half the land is used for coffee trees. Their attention to quality has brought us this smooth and complex natural process coffee.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Do you flavor your coffee?
We don’t offer flavored coffees, but our specialty-grade coffees naturally exhibit diverse flavors influenced by origin, variety, soil, climate, elevation, and processing. Like wine, each coffee’s unique notes—sweetness, acidity, and mouthfeel—are detailed on its tag. Brewing methods also affect flavor: cold brew enhances chocolate notes, while pour-over highlights floral and citrus tones. Experiment to find your favorite brew.
How much caffeine is in your coffee?
Caffeine content is reliant largely on bean variety, roast profile, and extraction method. The darker the roast, the less caffeine. The more water used per unit of coffee, the more caffeine is extracted. Roughly speaking, an 8-ounce cup of coffee will have somewhere between 85 and 105 mg of caffeine.
What is Cold Brew and Nitro Brew?
Cold brew is a method of brewing coffee using cold or room temperature water. You can use any bean to make cold brew.
“Nitro” cold brew is nitrogen-infused cold brewed coffee. We follow the same recipe as our traditional “still” cold brew, and then pressurize the keg with nitrogen to give the coffee a smooth effervescence that pours with a dense frothy head reminiscent of a Guinness draft beer. It is non-alcoholic and has about the same caffeine content as still cold brew.
