What is a washed coffee?
A coffee whose fruit and mucilage are removed before drying, producing the cleanest and brightest cup — the classic Colombian profile.

Is Tradition a good first specialty coffee?
Yes — it is our most approachable cup: familiar enough for drip-coffee drinkers, refined enough to show what single-farm quality means.

Whole bean or ground — which should I pick?
Whole bean if you own a burr grinder (peak freshness); ground if you want convenience with a professional, method-calibrated grind.

Do you ship across the US?
