About this blend
This is a blend of coffees from Ethiopia and Colombia. Roasters blend origins to balance each other, for example pairing a sweet, chocolatey base with a brighter, fruitier coffee, and to keep the flavor consistent from batch to batch.
What the process means
In a washed process, the fruit is removed from the bean before it dries. Washed coffees tend to taste clean and bright, and show off the character of the origin.

The people behind this coffee
Meet Passenger Coffee
Passenger Coffee was founded in 2014 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by Kyle Sollenberger, Crystal Weaver and David Stallings, and roasts at its roastery and coffee bar on North Plum Street. The company builds its menu around a small group of long-term producing partners, such as Divino Niño in Huila, Colombia and Agaro in Jimma, Ethiopia, whose coffees are available year-round and form the base of its blends. Passenger freezes its green coffee on arrival to slow aging, which lets it hold and roast small Cup of Excellence and reserve lots over long periods. Several of its companies became certified B Corporations in 2019. For home brewers, the mix of a stable Foundational menu, a rotating Reserve Lot list and frozen competition coffees makes it a useful roaster to follow across a full year.
