About Smooth Sailing
Say ‘ahoy!’ to Smooth Sailing — something brand new for us, a single origin offering that’s available year round. Anchor any day with this easy going and approachable sail-ection that’s shore to please anyone who likes coffee.
While the origin will change with the tides (aka seasons), we’ll always choose a Latin American coffee that fits a similar profile — chocolatey, nutty and sweet.
This iteration of Smooth Sailing is Santa Rosa, a white honey processed (partially washed before drying) offering from our friends — the Mongés — in Costa Rica. You may recognize Santa Rosa as a coffee we’ve had before. This lot is from a different part of the farm at a lower elevation, producing a coffee that leans more into its chocolatey and nutty side.
Think of ‘Smooth Sailing’ as more of a frame of mind, something easy and breezy, that you don’t need to overthink. So, sit back and let the wind in your sails take you to a beautiful place where coffee just tastes like coffee.
