Jaguar Espresso

About This Coffee

A complex espresso blend that combines organic and Fair Trade certified coffees from the world’s major growing regions, Jaguar takes a new world approach to a traditional-style espresso. Our goal is to develop flavors of fruit, dark chocolate and spice that result in an espresso sweet enough to taste great on its own, while maintaining enough richness and intensity to stand up to milk. Evaluated by Coffee Review in March 2025, this dark roast espresso scored an incredible 92 point review! Read the review here. Jaguar Espresso is built on a foundation of fully washed Latin American coffees. Like most agricultural products, coffee is seasonal. To ensure freshness year-round, we rotate origin countries throughout the crop cycle—always including a component that delivers clarity and sweetness. In this season’s blend, that role is filled by a coffee produced by members of Asociación Coordinadora de Mujeres Campesinas de La Paz (COMUCAP), a women-led cooperative in the Marcala region of western Honduras. To add complexity, we blend in a natural-processed coffee from members of La Federación Comercializadora de Café Especial de Guatemala (FECCEG), a second-level cooperative representing 12 small producer groups in Guatemala’s Western Highlands. The natural, or dry, processing method doesn’t require access to fresh water. After harvesting, whole coffee cherries are left to dry intact on the beans, imparting distinct fruity notes and contributing to the espresso’s creamy texture. We complete the blend with a wet-hulled coffee from the Ketiara Cooperative, located in Sumatra’s Gayo Mountain region. Like COMUCAP, Ketiara is a women-led organization committed to quality and empowerment. This coffee adds classic Sumatran depth, with a rich body and spicy undertones—rounding out the blend into a bold, full-flavored espresso. Jaguar is a complex espresso blend that combines coffees from some of the world’s major growing regions. With this blend we take a new world approach to a traditional-style espresso, developing flavors of fruit, dark chocolate and spice that result in an espresso sweet enough to taste great on its own, while maintaining enough richness and intensity to stand up to milk.
