Kiss the Hippo Donna Blend

The Donna Espresso Blend is our nod towards a more traditional coffee flavour. First, we find coffees that have the inherent characteristics of deep chocolate, with low acidity and lots of body. We then roast a little darker than our other coffees, to the point where the natural sugars are browned to a dark caramel quality. Donna tastes robust and strong, but still allows the unique characteristics of our seasonal coffees to shine through.

El Bombo is a coffee that has earned Organic certification and is sourced from the members of the Asobombo producer association. The association consists of 95 producers hailing from the villages of Laguna del Bombo, La Laguna, El Paraíso, Alto Planes, Laguna Verde, and Laguna Chiquita.

Savara is a coffee of incredibly unique circumstances. Producers based at the highest elevations in the state of Bahia have some of the best coffee cultivation conditions in Brazil, but often encounter problems with drying due to high humidity and rainfall during the harvest and processing season. For this reason, many choose to transport their cherries around 50km to the neighbouring Caatinga biome, known for its warmer, drier climate. En route, the cherries undergo a unique fermentation process in a closed truck. This process never lasts more than 24 hours, but the resulting cup profile is packed with fruity sweetness because of it.
