Prime Meridian Blend

Prime Meridian is built around a fully washed coffee from Colombia that contributes flavors of milk chocolate and spice. The coffee is produced by 300 members of the Association of Women Coffee Growers of West Huila (Asociación de Mujeres Cafeteras del Occidente del Huila), whom make up the Las Rosas Women’s Coffee Project. The project is a multiorganizational effort intended to support the Las Rosas Women’s Group through economic prosperity, social empowerment, and coffee quality. Over the past six years, the women of Las Rosas have showcased their ability to grow and prosper, becoming a source of inspiration for their community.

We then added a coffee produced by smallholder farmers located in the Comayagua region of Central Honduras. Comayagua is one of the oldest and most productive coffee growing regions in the relatively small country that surprisingly trails only Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia in annual Arabica production. This coffee’s delicate and sweet flavor profile helps to bring the flavors of the blend’s other components into balance.

Finally, we finished the blend with a sweet, nutty and subtly fruity coffee from Brazil. We source natural processed lots from Brazil’s prime growing regions, always ensuring that the flavor profiles match our specifications. The natural or dry method of processing yields mellow flavors, typically imparting hints of dried berries which results when the coffee fruit is left in contact with the bean when drying. The classic nut-toned chocolate flavors of Brazil coffee combine with these delicate fruit notes to build the blend’s rich foundation. When combined, these three distinctly different coffees come together to create an extremely approachable, balanced and complex blend.

We treasure our relationships in the global coffee community and invest in projects at origin to support our partners in their commitment to environmental sustainability and social welfare. We also invest in reducing our day-to-day impact, through initiatives like energy-efficient Loring Smart Roasters to reduce carbon emissions per batch by 80%.
