A very interesting varietal in that it counters the trend of dark, rich coffees American consumers have favored of late. This bright, lemony brew has a hint of eucalyptus. Heavenly aromatic, this lighter roast is terrific for those who find the “big” coffees of the gourmet world a bit too much. This is the best morning coffee out there.

In the last few years the beans of Harrar have been harder and harder to get. And why not? With its syrupy body, and prized aromas of exotic spice and blueberry, the demand for this varietal has soared. Find out why this coffee is so coveted.

Have you ever drunk something that had the taste, smell, and above all, feel of being in the exact place where you once were? Aficionados call this terroir, and there probably is no better example in the coffee world of this than the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. The cup yields a sweet, nutty and caramel-y aroma. The flavor is tangy and mysteriously fruity. Don’t get us wrong; it’s coffee! But with the kind of terroir that puts you right there in the tropics.

Alchemy proudly presents this as their house blend. The King Cyrus is a combination of African and Central American coffees ROASTED SEPERATELY for optimal flavor. Along with the dark hues of chocolate and fine, red wine so idiomatic of African coffees, it also has just the right amount of brightness and nuttiness of top-shelf Central Americans. The result: A big but beautifully balanced coffee that some of our customers swear smells like German chocolate cake.

Put on your seat belts! Here is a massive coffee roasted fairly dark. Our Sumatra is earthy, woodsy, and above all, smooooth. Everyone within 30 feet of the pot will gravitate (float?) toward this brew. The huge, sinuous aroma alone is worth the price of admission.

Bright, nutty and caramel-y, our Supremo is a splendid way to start the morning. Medium- to heavy-bodied, this particular varietal comes from a very conscientious Colombian grower.

Ah, the king of coffee. We roast this full-city, that is, it’s pulled right as the oils begin to come to the surface. This is a big as it gets. Heavy body, dark fruit flavors and an aroma redolent of fine Burgundy are the characteristics so revered in this African. Pricey, yes. But sometimes you must have the best.

These beans are from the same root stock as those of the highly regarded Jamaican Blue Mountain. But truth be told, this stuff is better than any Blue Mountain coffee could ever hope to be. Fact is, the soil of Papua New Guinea is magnificently rich and the growing elevation is about 5000 feet higher. This critical difference yields an amazingly complex combination of pungent, earthy aromas and an exotic hint of mango and papaya on the palette. Medium-dark roasted, our Papua New Guinea is full-bodied, perfectly balanced and has a fresh, clean flavor.

The best decaf we’ve ever had. This coffee has bright nuttiness, which is expected of any good Central American, but also has the dark, brooding quality of decaf where the oils of the coffee more readily come out. This is some serious yum-yum for those who get the jim-jams from caffeine.
