The Dracula Blend is more than just a coffee; it’s a celebration of the communities that produce these exceptional beans. Each region contributes its unique essence to this blend, creating a harmonious yet complex flavor profile that reflects the diversity and dedication of the farmers.
In Sumatra’s Kerinci Highlands, 600 small producers work on the fertile slopes of Southeast Asia’s highest active volcano. Here, coffee thrives in rich, volcanic soil, and our partners at Santiang Exports are committed to sustainable practices, ensuring that the surrounding Seblat National Park remains protected. This commitment to conservation is as strong as the coffee they produce, which carries notes of anise, ginger, guava, and pineapple.
Meanwhile, in Colombia’s Huila region, smallholder farmers are part of a reserve program that rewards quality and sustainability. These farmers, each with an average farm size of just 2 hectares, deliver their meticulously grown cherries to a central warehouse. Here, each lot is carefully assessed and blended, creating a coffee that is as bright and lively as the community it represents.
Finally, the Young Producer Program in Antioquia brings a youthful energy to the blend. This program supports the next generation of coffee farmers, encouraging them to pursue their passion for coffee cultivation. The result is a fruit-forward community lot that showcases the innovative spirit of these young producers, with a complex profile of dark chocolate, cacao nibs, and a pleasant fruity flavor.
Together, these community-driven lots form the Dracula Blend—a coffee that not only tastes incredible but also supports and highlights the vibrant communities behind each bean. Perfect for the fall and Halloween season, this blend is both spooky and delightful, offering a sensory journey from farm to cup.
