Small Talk

Description

Coffee Story I know I’m not speaking for everyone here, but with all the newest in double anaerobic, co-fermentations, natural, black honey, yeast-inoculated innovations in specialty coffee, sometimes all I want is a really, really good medium roast. Nothing too fancy, just a coffee that’s polite, uncontroversial and fits any everyday occasion you can throw at it!!! Am I asking for too much? I don’t think so, so that's why we’ve developed the newest innovation in specialty coffee roasting…Small Talk…a medium roasted coffee!! Small talk’s a medium roast that’ll always be there for you to fall back on. On the menu every day, no matter your mood or the weather, there will always be a fresh, seasonally sourced coffee with a classic, washed, old-fashioned profile that will taste well, like the classic, politely medium-roasted drip coffee you’ve been longing for, roasted to a perfect 220 degrees celsius right smack dab in the gosh darn uncontroversial middle. Heck, where else would you rather be!! Make it how you want, drink it how you want, Make Small Talk! Built on our love of a classic medium roast drip coffee, this coffee is sweet, polite, and uncontroversial! Small Talk typically features a fresh, in-season single-origin washed regional blend of coffees from one of our favourite coffee origins. This means it's open to a wide range of flavours, as long as they have a politely sweet character. About The Coffee Origin Uganda Makali - The Makali Community is situated on the southern slope of Mount Elgon. It's named after the community's cliffside setting and signifies the progress and determination required to grow coffee in such rugged terrain. With the help of three producer leaders and our importing partner, Mountain Harvest, the Makali farmers have access to a drying shed, pulping facility, and clean water for coffee processing. Some farmers in the Makali Community have been using a pulping and drying facility provided by Mountain Harvest and received training and support to learn this processing stage and produce high-quality parchment. The decision to process the coffee themselves instead of selling the cherry to be processed stems from the fact that having processed parchment provides tangible savings for the farmers' families. This is a primary focus of Mountain Harvest's work in the region, aiming to build resilient supply chains and empower farmers to become experts in farm-based businesses. This specific organic-certified lot is grown at 1700 MASL by 140 smallholder farmers as part of the Makali Community on the southern slope of Mount Elgon. It is a washed, processed, mixed variety of Nyasland, SL-14, and SL-28.
