Worka – Legese Lemiso
$21.00 – $42.00Worka – Legese Lemiso marks the annual return of single origin coffees from Ethiopia. Moplaco, our partner in Ethiopia, secured this coffee from the Legese Lemiso washing station in the West Arsi Zone. It exhibits the clean, bright, and juicy tones that define the best Ethiopian coffees.
LEGESE LEMISO
Small-holder farmers who own or rent small plots of land in the countryside grow most Ethiopian coffee. There, they pick coffee cherries from some of the most genetically diverse coffee trees on the planet. Ethiopia is home of Coffea Arabica. Therefore, Ethiopia distinguishes itself, in part, by the unique varieties available. In addition, many improved hybrid varieties (also unique to Ethiopia) have been bred from these natural (aka “landrace”) varieties.
Once farmers have picked coffee, they must sell cherry to a station or cooperative. After that, it will be further processed and prepared for export. Legese Lemiso is a privately owned washing station in the Worka kabele (village) of Nensebo, West Arsi. The West Arsi Zone occupies an area to the south of the capital of Addis Ababa. It is just north of the famed Sidama and Guji zones. The centralized processing of coffee yields consistently good results in Ethiopia, but this approach limits traceability to individual farms. As a result, the name of the washing station, broad region, or cooperative identifies most single origin coffee from Ethiopia. For example, we call this coffee Worka – Legese Lemiso. So, we use the name of the kabele (village), Worka, in combination with the name of the washing station.
MOPLACO
Heleanna Georgalis made a challenging, yet brave decision to take over her father’s exporting company, Moplaco, after his sudden passing. After returning to Ethiopia to run Moplaco in 2008, Heleanna dove into the world of coffee. She managed to keep Moplaco in business and improve upon a great model. Moplaco reestablished their reputation around their ability to source and then sort and export consistently amazing Ethiopian coffees. In more recent years, Moplaco built their own washing stations and invested in a farm. Moplaco’s dedication to their full time staff and female leadership sets them way apart from other companies in Ethiopia. As a result, we identify Moplaco as a potential long-term partner in Ethiopia. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Moplaco. In late 2019 or early 2020, we plan to teach barista skills classes to Ethiopian women. Moplaco hosts these courses at their coffee bar in Addis Ababa.
THE COLLABORATIVE COFFEE SOURCE
Our relationship with The Collaborative Coffee Source began a little over two years ago. Early in that relationship, we were up front with their team. Initially, we let them know we desired more substantive relationships in Ethiopia. Their response was simple and direct. “Come to Ethiopia with us.” So, in January 2018 we went. We visited Moplaco, who we’d sourced coffee from through CCS. We also traveled to Gedeo and Guji to meet new parters at Guji Highlands PLC and Snap Exporters. The trip fulfilled our goal of better understanding the Ethiopian coffee economy. In addition, we also gained insight into how we could position ourselves to be better partners in the future.

Finca Esperanza
$19.00 – $38.00Our collaboration with the Vizcaino Family at Finca Esperanza in Guatemala continues to yield awesome results. This washed lot of Catuai starts off the 2019 harvests. During the 24-hour soaking stage, added CIMA yeast controls the microbial consumption of coffee fruit. This step originated during our 2016 yeast trials at Esperanza.
ESPERANZA + BLUEPRINT COFFEE
Writing about Finca Esperanza can feel repetitive as Blueprint enters into our fourth year buying coffee from the Vizcaino’s. Considering we frequently purchase multiple lots each year, their story is familiar to a lot of our customers. However, it’s a good moment to reflect upon the fruits of our partnership. Ana and her crew at Esperanza have been fearless and energetic in confronting the challenges of organic farming.
What we have experienced is a wonderful friendship and partnership maturing out of our work together. Nonetheless, there have been struggles and successes. The goal of Blueprint’s approach is that we work to help build a stronger partnership out of the struggles. Therefore, the love and mutual respect we have for each other is what we’d consider our greatest outcome.
We’re impressed with the continued focus on organic coffee by Ana and her crew. This focus continues despite pressure from Coffee Leaf Rust, unpredictable and extreme weather conditions, and opinionated coffee roasters.
Blueprint Coffee has supported their organic farming efforts through soil health and compost training. As Esperanza sought to control their processing, we helped them through the construction of their new mill, “Beneficio Don Chilo.” We also supported the design and training of their new solar drying house. Finally, this harvest is the first full harvest without learning how to manage the new mill and solar drying house. With this perspective, enjoy the new fruits of our now budding collaboration.

Cordillera Isabelia
$17.00 – $34.00Around 20 coffee farmers contribute to this coffee, which grows on the slopes of the Cordillera Isabelia mountain range in Nicaragua. The combination of their efforts creates a sweet & creamy cup of coffee. Then, after cooling slightly, subtle tones of brown sugar, cocoa, and apple present themselves. This Nicaraguan coffee easily pleases a wide audience of coffee lovers with its comforting flavors. Cordillera Isabelia transitions the drinker into flavors matching the cooling weather.
At Blueprint, we source little Nicaraguan coffee. Of course, this speaks not to our views on the potential of the country. Instead, our Central American sourcing focuses more closely on relationships in Guatemala and El Salvador. However, a small gap in our relationship coffee offerings opened and this lot from Cordillera Isabelia in Nicaragua earned its spot by way of a few round of cupping.
RECENT HISTORY OF COFFEE FARMING IN NICARAGUA
Every coffee growing country has a long and distinct history. This history frequently has a character in the coffee. Strange, right? But, it makes sense when applied to any agricultural commodity. Weather, financial crises, and government interventions all affect the success of a coffee based economy. In 1998, a combination of a 30-year low in coffee prices and Hurricane Mitch lead to catastrophic economic conditions for Nicaraguan coffee farmers. In the following year, Nicaragua lost 50% of its export earnings to loss from the hurricane. According to research, an estimated 500-3000 farmers succumbed to foreclosure. Nicaraguan farmers lost the ability to reinvest into the following harvest. Additionally, this caused future losses in yield and quality. No government intervention existed to assist affected farmers.
During this period, Fair Trade certification was being established. It became the needed safety net for many struggling coffee farmers. In short, Fair Trade certification helped stabilize and restore Nicaragua’s coffee sector.
The impact of the coffee crisis has had long lasting effects in Nicaragua requiring well-intentioned leaders in the coffee industry to assist in their recovery. One of these actors is importer Caravela. They established their PECA program in Nicaragua to help the farmers continue to improve and sustain themselves. Two decades later, farmers still need support and good partners to make coffee farming economically sustainable.

San Lorenzo
$20.00 – $40.00We source San Lorenzo, this Guatemalan coffee, through our close partnership with Los Volcanes. They run a wet mill and quality lab in Antigua, Guatemala, which serves as an access point to for farms like San Lorenzo to many specialty coffee roasters throughout the world. The partnerships formed with farms around Guatemala are long lasting, equitable, and rooted in transparency. This coffee, from the cloud forest in Cobán offers sweet, nutty, citrus, stone fruit, and earthy qualities.
SOURCING NOTES ON SAN LORENZO
The complexity and coordination in achieving good cup quality fascinates us, especially when a farm grows 80 hectares (198 acres) of coffee. When harvest starts, the floodgates open. Coffee doesn’t wait. It needs to be harvested. It needs to be pulped, and it needs to be dried. All of these steps require consistency and precision in order to deliver a good product to the market. These steps define specialty coffee. They require people and teamwork to perform these intense tasks.
Understanding the complexity of coffee farming is important in understanding the quality achieved at San Lorenzo Estate in the Cobán region of Guatemala. The star players that make this coffee stand out are Luis “Wicho” Valdez III and the amazing system and talent of Carolina Franco with Los Volcanes.
Humidity with constant rainfall constitutes Cobán’s climate. This increases the difficulty of processing and maintaining coffee quality. As soon as a coffee is picked, the following stages play a role in removing moisture from the coffee. If done too quickly, the flavor becomes very woody. If done too slowly and with poor management, it becomes moldy, over-fermented, and phenolic. So, Wicho uses multiple approaches to process and dry the coffee from this cloud-blanketed forest farm.
THE ROLE OF LOS VOLCANES
Los Volcanes supports his work with real time feedback from Carolina Franco – a literal and figurative cupping champion. Carolina finished fourth in the world in 2011 and fifth in the world in 2013. To assist with production quality, Carolina provides feedback to Wicho and all the farmers supported by Los Volcanes. This feedback helps farmers improve cup quality as they get further into the harvest. She also catalogues the nuances of the multiple harvests that arrive from the farm in order to build lots that are unique to Cobán.
Specialty coffee, by necessity, is a highly collaborative commodity. The detail and hard work necessary to serve a cup to you is fascinating to us. This is why we love the people we work with and sharing this experience with you. Because when all things align, it is special.

Tektōn v.17
$16.50 – $33.00TEKTŌN
The seasonal and transparent coffee blend, Tektōn, chases a difficult goal – highlighting complexity while being approachable. Tektōn satisfies the novice or experienced coffee lover. Regular coffee changes throughout the year maintain balance and seasonality.
We commit ourselves to exhibiting the qualities of one of the most flavorful beverages in the world. To do so, we create and construct balanced, intoxicating, and special flavor experiences. Our single origin offerings are delicious and complete by themselves, but blending creates something new and unique. French wine and cocktails, like the Sazerac, guide us. By adding a small amount of five ingredients (sugar, bitters, lemon, absinthe, ice), a serving of whiskey becomes a new experience. This is a different, yet delicious, taste experience than that offered by any neat pour.
Tektōn, a seasonal coffee blend, compliments our single origin offerings. It matches the integrity of those offerings by remaining a seasonal coffee with a transparent supply chain. We embrace the future insight and taste experiences Tektōn will provide.
Version 17 blends two sweet coffees that are quite different from one another. Cordillera Isabelia from Nicaragua contributes sweet, nutty, brown sugar notes. Then, Worka – Legese Lemiso from Ethiopia brings the fruity and floral sweetness. Together, the coffees combine to create an experience not too different than fruity baked goods.

Penrose V.23
$15.50 – $31.00PENROSE
Penrose, named after the triangle, is our seasonal espresso blend. We feel the perfect espresso is an impossible goal, but we still strive to create it. Penrose is our ever-updated offering in the quest for the perfect espresso. While the seasonal components will vary throughout the year, it is always (nearly) perfect for your hopper.
Penrose seasonal espresso blend aims to:
- be a reliable and consistent offering
- be delicious with milk and without milk
- maintain seasonality and farm-to-cup traceability
- maintain a stable price point so it can be the main espresso on our bar and the bars of many of our wholesale partners
- be easy to dial-in on an espresso grinder
Penrose also does well in the brewer – look for notes of lasting sweetness and heavy body, with a subdued acidity.
SOURCING NOTES (v23)
Sometimes our sourcing plans do align ever so perfectly. For v23, we combine our work in Guatemala with Los Volcanes and the beginning of our work in Ethiopia with Dambi Uddo AI. For three years now, we’ve purchased washed coffee from San Carlos, the neighboring farm to the wet mill operated by Los Volcanes. This coffee testifies to the consistency and quality of the Antigua region, intentional growing, and fantastic processing.
Dambi Uddo AI marks its first complete harvest with the 2018-2019 season. Active partner Ture Waji hosted us in Guji, Ethiopia in January of 2018. His focus on natural processing, the growers in Guji, and the environment were obvious. At that time, he represented his aunt and uncle’s stations at Mormora and Allona. So, when he established his own station in Guji this year, we partnered with Atlantic Specialty to bring part of his first natural crop to St. Louis. Husen Adem grows coffee near Ture’s collection station on six hectares of land. As a result of the partnership with Ture, we connected to our first single-farm Ethiopian coffee. This just goes to show that maintaining relationships and some patience can pay off.

Decaf Cajamarca E.A.
$16.50 – $33.00Consistent sourcing, focused innovation, and excellent decaffeination combine to bring sweetness, spice, and a little something nice to this cup of Peruvian Coffee. Coffees from Peru’s northern region of Peru often feature smooth sweetness, and this coffee delivers those regional qualities in loads.
We first offered Decaf Cajamarca, Peru from Lima Coffee in 2018. Before that, we also offered a similar caffeinated lot in late 2017/early 2018. Now, we again offer the decaffeinated version. This time around, Café Imports sent the coffee to the decaffeination facility in Cauca, Colombia that employs Ethyl Acetate decaffeination. The solvent is derived from locally grown sugarcane and proves to be our preferred method of decaffeination.
CAFÉ IMPORTS + PERU
Café Imports, our importing partner, has foreseen the potential of Peru – specifically the northern region of Cajamarca. Peiro Cristani, Café Imports Senior Green Buyer, and Rony Lavan of Lima Coffee Exporting have been working with farmers to improve quality protocols and establish a micro-lot program in Cajamarca. With this investment and support, they acheived some dramatic quality improvements. Specifically, dominating the first Cup of Excellence (COE) in Peru with coffees from Cajamarca.
Around 400 smallholder farms in Cajamarca, Peru contribute to this decaf coffee. They benefit from the investment and development provided by Café Imports and Lima Coffee. A significant change in the process is incentivizing the delivery of cherry to a mill. Usually, farmers in Peru dry their coffee at the farm. Encouraging the farmers to deliver cherry allows the mill to manage the drying and sorting of the harvest. As a result, the overall quality improves. This coffee testifies to the innovation and collaboration that is a result of Café Imports’ work in Cajamarca.
EVOLUTION OF SPECIALTY IN PERU
Peruvian coffee is evolving. When reflecting on the source of this quality-evolution a few words come to mind: awareness, innovation and collaboration. Quality improvements like picking, sorting and better milling protocol never stick if farmers do not embrace them. Moreover, without the support of dedicated collaborators, finding buyers to support improvements may be impossible. It might be surprising to some, but most farmers aren’t aware of the growing and evolving specialty coffee market around the world. Loosely defined, specialty coffee is any coffee that scores 84+ points using an SCA cupping form by a certified Q-grader.
Awareness of this market is just the beginning, usually requiring a collaborator to connect to the market. This collaborator helps establish the improvements that garner better quality and higher prices. Innovation must be connected to investment to occur. This can be human investment, like consultation and training, or a financial investment in materials to establish the project. Additionally, pre-financing to support better practices, like ripe picking, is essential.

Drift Magazine
$24.00Drift Magazine covers coffee culture city by city. It landed at an important time in specialty coffee’s rise. It was the point when coffee many consumers were feeling coffee was too exclusive. Drift provided a glance into the coffee culture of one city at a time. It addresses specialty and non-specialty coffee traditions of the cities it covers.
Cities covered in the past include Tokyo, New York City, Havana, Melbourne, Mexico City, and Stockholm. Our favorite features often cover the bodegas or coffee stands that have been serving coffee for over four decades. The magazine gives a glance into the lives of coffee professionals we know from Sprudge, as well, but the features usually cover something more unique to that person’s history in a city rather than their international coffee clout.
We try to identify places in St. Louis using the same spirit, but often those beyond coffee, in our blog series titled STLxBPC. It’s hard to do this in an online format as beautifully as Drift Magazine does it covering coffee, yet we can hope. The large format, heavy paper, and beautiful photography make Drift a joy just to hold.
We do our best to keep our online inventory accurate, but there’s a chance we may be out of older issues listed in the dropdown. We will not charge your credit card until we are certain that the issue is available to be shipped.
