Roasted Coffee
Costa Rica - Gustavo Monge - Catuai Natural
Tasting notes: Strawberry, vanilla creme. We found this coffee through our friends at selva coffee and it's one of our favorites! Gustavo and his family have been producing coffee for 60-70 years. His grandparents started the tradition and his parents followed. However, they used to work in a more conventional manner and simply delivered their fruit to cooperatives or multinationals. Eight years ago gustavo decided to opt for a change to the micro-beneficio model and a different way of working. He believes that it lends to a special way of exporting coffee more transparently and in 2014 the dream could finally be formed and the project started. The trapiche lot has been re-planted by gustavo and his father with the catuai-caturra variety about 15 years ago. They also planted various trees that work perfectly as shade like bananas, oranges, lemons, and avocados. They wisely dug out terraces on the mountainside to create a secure environment and avoid soil erosion. It is this type of foresight and care that we believe makes a great producer. This natural catuai was one of our favorites on the cupping table. This is the first of our costa rica rollout!

Costa Rica - Diego Abarca - Typica Honey
Tasting notes: Sugar cane, apricot, milk chocolate. Diego Abarca has been raised among coffee producers and has found his calling by spearheading many of the business decisions made by the farm in recent years. Until 10 or 15 years ago, nearly every farmer in Costa Rica delivered their cherries to cooperatives or multinationals to be processed. That is how Diego's family and neighbors did it until a few years ago. A huge benefit to processing your own coffee is that you' re better able to maintain the quality standards and because of that, your coffee sells at higher prices. As their farm grew, so did the family's understanding of what they were missing by not processing their own coffee. A little over 5 years ago, Diego started his family's micromill, Alto San Juan. Today, Diego and his family has succeeded in producing a higher quality coffee, getting a better price for their product, and growing the volume they process. His vision is to work with quality focused roasters (like Airship!) in providing them with increasingly better coffee year after year. This particular variety, Typica, is unique in that it's not as commonly grown as it was years ago. The yield per tree is low, the risk to major disease is high, but the cup quality is incredible. The risk these producers took in planting Typica versus the many other varieties available is just another reason to add this to your bucket list of coffees. Diego's dedication to quality is evident and we' re looking forward to seeing more from him and his family

Costa Rica - las Palomas - Geisha Washed
Tasting notes: Jasmine, lemon, black tea, raspberry. We were introduced to Las Palomas through our friends at Selva Coffee. The farm owners, Jorge Adán Monge Garbanzo and his wife Flor Mayela García Valverde have inherited the family farm from previous generations. Jorge started growing the Geisha variety 5 years ago and we' re thrilled to offer the fruits of his labor.This will be the first time we've ever offered a Geisha from Costa Rica! Geisha varieties are known for requiring extremely specific cultivation conditions as well as being difficult to grow and harvest. Why risk planting Geisha versus any other variety, you ask? The justification is in the cup. Geishas are known for their floral, sweet, aromatic properties and this coffee is a beautiful example of that. We encourage you to sip slow on this one. Jorge and the folks at Las Palomas deserve a round of applause for this one. This washed Geisha is the perfect compliment to our current lineup from Costa Rica

Compton's leadership and persistence, the scenic river flows freely for 153 miles through the ozark mountains to the white river.

Black Apple Espresso
Tasting notes: Juicy orange, sweet & dark chocolate. Airship's flagship espresso blend is named after the award winning Arkansas Black Apple. The apple variety was discovered in the 1870s in the Brathwaite orchard along Black Apple Creek just about a mile north of Airship's coffee bar in downtown Bentonville. It was propagated in the Brathwaite nursery, then commercialized and went on to win first place at an exhibition in Paris France in 1900 and then in 1904, took first place at the World's Fair in St. Louis. By 1919 Northwest Arkansas was producing more than 5 million bushels of apples per year and the industry was the largest employer in the region. But Southern Apple Mania, as it was called, didn't last long. Due to pressures from insect pests, namely the Coddling Moth, by the 1940s the majority of apple orchards had moved to different areas of the country. As we cultivate community around coffee, we offer a nod to the history of our local farmers. Blend Components: This is a three-part blend composed of a semi-washed coffee from El Salvador, a honey processed coffee from Sumatra, and a sun-dried natural from Ethiopia. This combination makes for a juicy, sweet, complex, yet balanced espresso on its own, or the perfect base for a cortado

Black Bear Blend
Tasting notes: smoked plums - dark chocolate - roasted walnuts. A lot can be (and has been) said about dark roasted coffee. This is the only coffee we profile by roast color. But we don't just turn coffee dark by roasting it longer. We pay close attention to black bear by selecting the best coffee and roasting it carefully so it's retains it's sweetness. Black bear is complex, velvety, and roasted darker to bring out a rich body. Blend components: two-part blend of a semi-washed coffee from El Salvador and a wet-hulled coffee from sumatra. Whole bean.
