Strata Espresso, 2 lb bag
Notes: Dark Chocolate · Mulberry · Meyer Lemon
STRATA is a beautifully balanced medium roast espresso, bringing together coffees from Nicaragua, Colombia, Honduras and Ethiopia to create layers of dark chocolate, ripe mulberry and bright Meyer lemon.
It’s a coffee with a little richness, a little fruit, and a bright, lively finish.
But what makes it especially interesting is where it grows.
Coffee begins with a landscape. High mountain valleys, rich soils, shade trees and diverse growing traditions shape the character of each harvest. Across four origins, generations of farmers cultivate coffee in places where agriculture, community and the natural world are deeply connected.
In Nicaragua, the UCA San Juan del Río Coco cooperative brings together hundreds of smallholder producers in the mountains of Madríz. Beyond growing coffee, the cooperative supports its members through agricultural training, technical assistance and opportunities to strengthen their livelihoods. These landscapes are also home to the keel-billed motmot, a striking Central American bird whose future depends on protecting the habitats it calls home.
In Colombia, at Finca Santa Maria in Santander, a team of women brings skill and dedication to the cultivation and processing of coffee. Their work is a reminder that behind every harvest are the people whose knowledge and care shape what we taste in the cup.
In Honduras, the COMSA cooperative began with farmers seeking a different way forward through organic agriculture. Since its founding in 2000, COMSA has championed farming practices rooted in soil health, education and community, cultivating coffee in the highlands of the Montecillos mountain range.
And in western Ethiopia, at Asikana, coffee growing carries generations of family heritage. Working with hundreds of local farmers, the farm supports agricultural training and incorporates beekeeping into its operations—a connection between cultivation, pollinators and the wider living landscape.
A BLEND OF MANY LAYERS
Each origin brings something different to STRATA. Together, they create a coffee that is rich yet bright, familiar yet full of discovery.
Our Bird Friendly® commitment reflects an important part of this story: coffee can be more than a crop. When grown within bird-friendly, forest-like habitats, coffee farms can help provide shelter and resources for birds and other wildlife.
The landscapes that sustain coffee are part of a much larger ecosystem—one shaped by trees, soil, pollinators, birds and the people who care for the land.
So pull a shot, and enjoy layers of dark chocolate, ripe mulberry and Meyer lemon. Imagine the mountain landscapes behind each origin, the hands that harvest each cherry, and the living world that makes coffee possible.
