*6 OZ BAG SIZES TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT
We are temporarily sold out of our 6 oz bag sizes and we do not have a clear timeline for restocking this size. The 6 oz size is our least popular selling size and the cost for this particular bag has increased substantially compared to our other sizes. For these reasons, we have decided to look for other sources for our 6 oz bags. We will bring the 6 oz bags back once we feel we have a good solution for this size. In the meantime, 12 oz, 2lb, and 5 lb bags sizes are available.

KAHA Coffee Roasters has received requests from some of our biggest New England dark roast fans for a coffee that is stronger and darker than our Kia Kaha blend, while still not being bitter or burnt. After much research, testing, and tasting, we are extremely proud to release our New England Blend dark roast!

We set out with an ambitious goal of producing a five dimensional profile of: bold, rich, sweet, full bodied, and strong. The New England blend is the culmination of three outstanding coffee regions including: Guatemala, Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil.  Each with their own unique characteristics which produce a truly unique dark roast which we feel is fitting of hearty New Englanders and the affinity for dark roast coffee here in the New England region.

When crafting the New England Blend, we approached it with the following goals in mind:

• A deep, rich, and bold flavor profile.
• Strong enough to stand up to Milk, Cream, Almond or Oat Milk.
• Can be brewed using any drip coffee machine or immersion brewing methods such as the Aeropress, Clever Brewer, Hario Switch, and French Press as well as the Chemex.
• We wanted a five dimensional profile of: bold, rich, sweet, full bodied, and strong.

Through much trial and error, we tested numerous coffee regions, coffee varietals, and processing methods. What we found was fascinating... The combination of two natural/dry processed coffees and a wet hulled/semi-washed processed coffees gave us the exact characteristics we were looking for! When we started out to create this coffee we never would have guessed these regions and processing methods would work together so beautifully!

The natural processed Brazil Mogiana component brings a maple sweetness, and full body to the blend which was crucial for this dark roast. The washed Colombia component brings the punch and strength of acidity to the blend which was crucial to achieve the boldness and ability to stand up to milk and cream. The Mexico component brings a chocolatey depth to the coffee while  the natural processed Guatemala component brings hints of fruit with complexity and together this four component blend coffee produces what we believe is one of the best tasting and unique dark roasts on the market!

*Like other fruits, coffee is seasonal and we love that! Because of this seasonality, we will occasionally switch out a component for another coffee variety with very similar characteristics. By changing the components with the seasons, we are able to offer the most vibrant coffee flavors all year round, which also allows for importing the freshest green coffee possible.
