Processing

This coffee is a washed process which means the producers wash the coffee cherry off the bean with water.  Then they dry the beans.  Washed process coffees tend towards chocolatey and nutty notes, and Call Your Mother surprises the palate with its sweetness.

Roast Level

Call Your Mother is a City Roast.  City Roasts are a level of medium roast that we pull out of the roaster when the beans are about the color of milk chocolate.  We find this roast level best brings out the coffee’s natural flavors without any unpleasant oiliness or smoke.  We roast Call Your Mother to highlight the plummy, syrupy notes.

Traceability

Call Your Mother is traceable to the washing stations and family farms that produce it.  It also comes to us Certified Organic.

Bragging Rights

Call Your Mother won bronze medals in the espresso and milk based categories at Golden Bean Americas 2024.  We bet you’ll love it too!

What is Bourbon?

Bourbon is a coffee varietal. It was first planted by the French on the isle of Bourbon (now called Reunion) off the coast of Madagascar in the 1700s. It developed here until the mid 1800s, when the French transplanted it in Central America, India, and other places.  Bourbon is a tall plant that produces very high quality coffee. It is also very susceptible to disease. So while it was once one of the dominant varieties of coffee in Central America, it has since been bred with other varieties to produce more disease resistance. These Bourbon-related varietals are now more common than Bourbon.
