We have recreated this medium roast blend every year since 1980, always sourcing from the same three origins—Nicaragua, Colombia, and Sumatra.

While the components remain constant, no two years are ever exactly alike. Climate, weather patterns, and even volcanic activity shape the harvests, creating subtle shifts in flavor and aroma.

Yet through all those changes, one thing remains true: every Holiday Blend is designed to be the perfect companion to the decadent foods and sweet gatherings of the season.

Dark chocolate greets you at first sip, followed by a gentle hint of cedar and a finishing sparkle of ripe plum.

This medium roast invites warmth on cool mornings and pairs beautifully with rich, traditional holiday fare—from spiced cakes and roasted nuts to your favorite desserts.

“Great coffee begins with gratitude - for farmers, for land, and for the craft that brings it all to life. The Holiday Blend is our yearly toast to that gratitude.”

Brewing Methods: French press for round body; pour-over or auto-drip for clarity and cocoa-cedar sweetness.

Pairings: Spiced persimmon cake, cranberry-orange loaf, or dark-chocolate sea-salt bark.

Gifting: Tuck a bag with a handwritten note and your favorite brewing tip—instant host gift.

Recipe idea: Try a simple Holiday Mocha—6 oz Holiday Blend + 1 oz dark chocolate syrup + steamed milk; dust with cinnamon and orange zest.

What is a Single Origin coffee? Simply put, these coffees are defined by the place they come from.

Single Origin coffees are from a specific farm or group of farms that make up small cooperatives. You’ll find that most of our Single Origin coffees are light roasted since this brings out their unique aromas and flavor notes.

This month, we’re sharing our Nicaraguan Flor de Jinotega with you, grown by the SOPPEXCCA Cooperative.

Nestled in the mountains above the regional capital Jinotega, the farmers of SOPPEXCCA grow coffee under the protective shade of bananas, mangos, and mahogany, and alongside dense forests providing home to dozens of rare orchids and winter habitat for hundreds of migratory songbirds. Jinotega is the heartland of Nicaragua’s coffee producing zone and many of the country’s finest coffees come from the thousands of small-scale family farms arrayed throughout the department’s lush mountain landscape.

This landscape wasn’t always organized this way. Before the revolution of the 1980s many of these small family farms were actually consolidated in expansive haciendas owned by foreigners and the country’s elite and farmed with the intensive use of agrochemical fertilizers and pesticides. The farmers themselves were hired labor, invariably poorly paid. In fact, the genesis of the revolution itself traces directly to these large farms, and the thousands of farmers without access to land. One of the central demands and outcomes of the revolution was a process of land redistribution whereby farmers gained access to the land they had worked for generations. Cooperatives arose out of the need to organize these small farms in larger economic unions that could market coffee, facilitate much needed financing, and serve the community’s broad social, economic, and environmental needs.
