Behind the bag
The coffee bag features the beautiful Tilikum Crossing Bridge, and red poppies that shine bright against our often grey and cloudy skyscape. We hope the bright and colorful packaging for Bridge Blend inspires similar feelings in customers when they see it on the shelf. Bridge blend is itself a bright coffee blend that highlights the bridges we build between coffee-growing communities and coffee drinkers.
A limited blend from organic farms in Ethiopia and Peru
The Ethiopia component comes from Mustefa Abakeno – a smallholder producer growing coffee varieties from the nearby Jimma Research Center. This coffee is from the Beshasha mill, which specializes in washed processing utilizing good agricultural practices (GAP). Mustefa ferments the pulped coffee for a short period before he moves it to drying beds, where the result is comparable to a beautiful light honey.
The other half of Bridge Blend is from Peru. In Peru, most coffee comes from small farms owned and managed by indigenous people who follow organic farm management practices attuned to their cultural connection to the land. This particular coffee is from the umbrella Norandino cooperative – who ensure meticulous traceability and quality control throughout post-harvest processing. It is fully washed and dried in the sun – preserving natural tasting notes of green grapes and apple blossoms.
