At once remarkably complex and subtle, our current Agaro lot is soft and nuanced with stone fruit and bergamot aromatics. In the cup one finds citrus, tea rose, cocoa, and caramel underpinned by a raw honey-like sweetness.

Our current Agaro offering was produced by the Nano Challa farmer’s cooperative, one of the older, and most famous, member cooperatives of the Kata Muduga Union. Previously producing only low quality dry processed coffees, Nano Challa now boasts 400+ small farmer members and produces some of the most coveted washed coffees in all of Ethiopia.

On a mission to seek out and thoughtfully present the world's most memorable coffee & tea in a way that demonstrates the viability of an equitable supply chain.

Dried apricot, raspberry, brown sugar, and a delicate floral character reminiscent of orchids on the nose lead into a cup that is defined by its super clean black tea base, bright citrus, and caramel-like sweetness. As the cup begins to cool the fruited qualities found on the nose emerge once again.

Up to 291 farming families contributed to this lot produced by the Long Miles Coffee Project. Grown on Gishubi Hill, this coffee was processed at the Long Miles-built Heza washing station. Coffees from Long Miles have been a staple on Passenger’s menu since 2015 and this 2020 harvest is the latest selection to be presented as our Foundational Heza Offering, where it will enjoy year-round availability.

Heza

Divino Niño is a lively coffee on the nose, presenting aromas ranging from cherry and plum to marzipan and caramel. The cup is deeply sweet with a cooked fruit character and browning sugar-like sweetness.

This coffee is comprised of lots delivered by producers who belong to two small associations: Divino Niño and ASOCAFOR. Both associations are centered around the Hamlet of Divino Niño in Suaza, Colombia. The coffees that comprise this single origin blend must meet rigorous physical characteristics and cup quality, but the producers are paid a healthy premium to encourage this level of quality production.

Divino Niño

Comprised of two of Passenger's year-round Foundational Offerings - Divino Niño and Agaro - Keystone simultaneously presents delightful characteristics from these two coffees, while also transcending their individual identity and creating something uniquely delicious.

Both components are held in deep freeze storage year-round prior to roasting, ensuring that this coffee stays fresh and consistent regardless of the time of year.

Florals and cooked fruit on the nose make way for a cup that possesses an incredibly mouthwatering acidity and profound, brown sugar-like sweetness.

Keystone

Constructed using coffees from two Foundational relationships, Stowaway is an incredibly balanced blend that presents flavors and aromas embraced by nearly all coffee consumers: chocolate, browning sugars, toasted nuts, and slight florals.

Comprised of a Catuaí variety lot from the Montecarlos Estate in Apaneca, El Salvador and a Wet Processed coffee from the Agaro region of southwest Ethiopia, this blend performs well and is easy to extract under any preparation method.

Stowaway

Browning sugar aromatics on the nose lead into a deeply sweet cup with flavors of red grape and clementine anchored by a bittering cocoa base. This is a deeply enjoyable daily drinker from a master coffee producer.

Carlos Batres inherited Montecarlos in the mid 1980’s. The fifth generation of his family to steward this land, Batres has made Montecarlos his life’s work. Montecarlos primarily produces five varieties: Catuaí, Caturra, Bourbon, Pacamara, and Gesha. Passenger uses the Catuaí and/or Caturra in our Stowaway Blend each year, the Pacamara and Gesha are offered on our Reserve Lot menu and this, the Bourbon, is a Foundational Offering we hold in deep freeze storage and attempt to have available year-round.
