The Signature Long Pour “LP” is the staple of consistency just like that of the timeless recording format introduced in the late 1940s. The nostalgia in this roast will remind to slow down and not only enjoy the coffee but appreciate being present in the moment. This blend reminds us of the great recordings from the Prestige, Blue Note, Columbia labels featuring such artist as Hank Mobley, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, and others who dared to create new sounds while remaining rooted in classical technique.

MEDIUM ROAST

A nod to both the peak grade of Colombian coffee (Supremo) and what is arguably the peak of John Coltrane's repertoire (A Love Supreme), "Love Supremo" is bright enough for breakfast and rich enough for dinner. Grown in Southwest Colombia, in the Nariño region along the Pacific coast, this medium roast has a creamy silkiness, bright acidity, and complex cocoa and cherry flavors with a sweet long finish. Like 'Trane's four-part masterpiece, this roast is resonant, profound and transcendent.

This roast is our take on the "Take the A Train" classic composition made famous by Duke Ellington. AA is the highest tier of coffee produced in Kenya, and AA beans are regarded for their “big band” feel with a light body, bright mouthfeel, and intense floral taste. Like the music of Duke, and the famous NYC train line—this coffee will take you on a ride that’s unique and delightful.

Origin Story

Mwiria Factory, named for the Kikuyu word meaning “huge”, lives up to its name with the big, flavorful punch of stone fruit, black tea and chocolate it packs in the cup.

Three permanent employees operate Mwiria Factory and hire an additional 30 people during the peak of the season. Smallholders selectively handpick only ripe cherry and deliver it to Mwiria Factory. At intake, the Cherry Clerk oversees meticulous visual sorting and floating, accepting only dense, ripe cherry.After intake, cherry is pulped and wet fermented in Mwiria’s fermentation tanks for 12 to 28 hours. Following
fermentation, coffee is washed clean water and graded in grading channels. Parchment is laid to dry on raised beds. During the busy season when the beds are in
constant use, parchment may be soaked in clean, circulating water for up to 24 hours before being dried. Workers rake parchment frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 14 to 21 days for parchment to dry.

In order to improve their environmental impact, Mwiria has 9 water soak pits that filter and drain waste water from processing. By planting Napier grass and plenty of trees around the pits, excess nutrients and other processing byproducts are filtered from the water, keeping water sources cleaner & safer for nearby communities and helping to return nutrients to the soil and plants.

Origin Story

Blue Nova translated literally means “new wave”, and this particular roast represents a post 3rd wave expression. The Cerrado Mineiro region is the first “Designation of Origin” in Brazil, located in the northwest of the Minas Gerais state in central part of the country. The coffees under this Designation of Origin are “Origin and Quality Guaranteed” by the Cerrado Minerio Region –D.O. Regulatory Board, and each bag carries a QR code connecting it to the specific farm and farmer who produced the coffee. This adds an additional layer of traceability which is often difficult in the massive coffee growing regions of Brazil.

Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world, and production of coffee in Brazil is unique, in that Brazilian farms tend to have flatter elevations, less shade cover, and more manicured fields. They also use mechanical harvesters and produce far more coffee per hectare than other origins. Coffee in Cerrado Mineiro grows between 800-1300 meters above sea level and has very distinct rainy and dry seasons, creating the distinctive coffee of the region.

This lot is from Mercon Specialty’s LIFT sustainability program. LIFT is working with a group of farmers in Araxa, who are extremely dedicated to high quality. LIFT is helping the group digitalize their farm management, and to continue to respect the highest environmental standards in terms of biodiversity preservation of the Atlantic Forest.
