Equator Blend

This crowd-pleasing blend is rich and smooth, featuring a deep-toned Lintong coffee sourced from small garden farms in the Lake Toba region of Sumatra. Processed using the wet-hull method, this coffee possesses a distinctive flavor profile of sweet grapefruit and aromatic wood that are the foundation of Equator Blend.

To enhance the complexity, we incorporate a fully washed coffee from Kenya that brightens the blend and brings out the flavors of its other components. Kenya has one of the most sophisticated systems for compensating high-quality lots. Registered buyers taste samples weekly and compete in auctions where the best coffees are rewarded. Due to the small size of auction lots, our partners purchase multiple lots of similar quality and use a thorough grading process to achieve the consistency needed for the blend.

We then added a coffee produced by Sofia Plocharski on her farm, Armenia Lorena, located in the San Marcos region of Western Guatemala. This coffee is part of Onyx Coffee’s ELLA - Women Producers of Guatemala program, which highlights female producers, shares their stories, and provides market access. The coffee adds notes of chocolate and spice, contributing a sweetness that perfectly balances the more assertive flavors in Equator Blend.

The finishing touch of Equator Blend is a fully washed coffee sourced from the renowned Yirgacheffe region in Southern Ethiopia. Processed at the Aricha Washing Station, which serves multiple exceptional growing communities, this coffee’s clean, floral flavor profile adds complexity to the blend.
