Cupping notes: This coffee is supremely sweet with a mild orange citric acidity and a smooth, creamy body. It is very clean and consistent.

Add multiple bags of this week's roasted offering to your cart, and you'll receive discounts on up to 6 bags!
Here's How It Works:
Each week, we'll choose one of our most popular coffees to offer with our Roasted-to-Order service. By partnering with a local Specialty Coffee roastery, we're able to offer a 12 oz limited-release Roasted-to-Order coffee for you to enjoy -- no effort or roasting equipment required!
This is a great way to try coffees you haven't roasted yourself, or test your skills against the pros roasting the same coffees you know and love.
At this time, we're offering only one pre-selected coffee per week, no substitutions or returns. Pre-orders run from Monday through Sunday, with roasted coffee being shipped out by Wednesday.
Roasted coffee ships the following Wednesday after it’s roasted fresh. Orders with both roasted and green coffee ship together to save you shipping costs. Need your green coffee sooner? Just place a separate order and we’ll send it right out!
Mexico: La Laja Honey, Tlaltetela, Veracruz
La Laja, a family farm and mining group in Veracruz, Mexico, began in 1920 when its founder, Hermilo Sampieri, bought his first coffee farm in Huatusco. His son joined in, and eventually, one farm became seven––Finca La Laja, Finca El Mirador, Finca Las Palmas, Finca La Veracruz, and three other farms in Puebla.
La Laja also purchases a wide variety of cherries from small farmers in Chiapas. They are experts in processing, and they own wet and dry mills.
La Laja’s honey-processed bean has its skin removed, but the sugary pulp remains through fermentation to add a sweet flavor. After de-pulping, this coffee dries for up to 20 days on covered raised beds.
