Thanksgiving Coffee inch Mocha Java - Fair Trade and Organicinch Medium Roasted Fair Trade Organic Shade Grown Whole Bean Coffee - 12 Ounce Bag

A Fair Trade and Organic version of our Mocha Java. High in the mountains of southeastern Ethiopia, family farmers produce one of the world’s sweetest, most distinctive natural-processed coffees. Carefully selected ripe coffee cherries are picked and dried in the sun like raisins, producing a syrupy sweetness and distinctive jammy fruitiness. Far away, in the lush mountains of northern Sumatra, the farmers of the Permata Gayo Cooperative produce their distinctive wet-hulled coffee, an earthy, caramel-toned coffee with heavy body and notes of sweet spice. United in our Mocha Java blend, these two coffees play off each other’s strengths to create a powerful complexity of chocolate and berry sweetness, buttery-rich body, and sweet earthy hints of sweet ginger and cardamom. The history of pairing coffees from East Africa and the Pacific is almost as old as the coffee trade itself. It’s our pleasure to present our contemporary take on the classic Mocha Java blend, combining two of the finest coffees in the world, sourced directly from the farmers who grow them. 90 “Delicately sweet aroma highlighted by a complex range of fruit: ripe berry, spicy citrus, with a backgrounded nut and fir. Gently tart acidity, medium body, silky mouthfeel. In the cup flavor smoothes and rounds, with the nut and fir moving forward and the fruit softening toward chocolate. Flavor persists in the short finish but fades toward a mild astringency in the long. Thanksgiving is the granddaddy of all progressive roasting companies. Founder Paul Katzeff already was roasting and selling coffees that benefited social and environmental causes at a time when the founders of Fair Trade were, well, quite young. The Thanksgiving Mocha Java maintains a fine authenticity in coffee style while replacing the traditional Yemen Mocha component of the blend with a similar dry-processed coffee from Ethiopia and the Java with a traditionally processed Sumatra.
