The Upsetter

The Upsetter beat out 170 other coffees in a double-blind taste test to win the 2019 Good Food Award. The award highlights both the superior flavor of this blend while honoring our social and environmental responsibility. This one-of-a-kind blend includes sweet, nutty tastes of Nicaragua, spicy notes from Sumatra, and the beautiful fruit-forward qualities of Ethiopian beans. Now it was awarded the Bronze Medal in the 2025 Golden Bean Awards as an Espresso.

We named our Upsetter Espresso after Lee “Scratch” Perry, known as “The Upsetter”, a Jamaican record producer famous for his unusual remixes, using 8-track analog recording to produce strange, unique, and beautiful sounds. Read more here.

Although we originally created this blend to be an espresso coffee, this blend won the 2019 Good Food Award as an outstanding drip coffee - try it both ways! It has now won awards as both.
