Organic Breakfast Blend Coffee – Augusta's by Nossa Familia, Strong & Smooth, Whole Bean or Ground

Augusta's Organic Breakfast is a medium roast from Peru's Chirinos Cooperative with notes of cherry, citrus and milk chocolate. It is full-bodied enough for drip or press pot, smooth enough for a balanced espresso, and good over ice. Whole bean or ground, in 2 lb or 5 lb bags.

Augusta's comes from the Chirinos Cooperative in the San Ignacio province of Cajamarca, Peru, founded in 1968 by 36 producers and now 867 members strong. The coffee grows at 1,200 to 2,200 meters (Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, Pache and Catimor), is hand-picked during the August to November harvest, then washed and dried.

Chirinos is Fair Trade and Organic certified, and Nossa Familia says members fertilize only with compost, worm bins and guano and control pests naturally, without pesticides or herbicides. Nossa Familia is a Certified Organic handling facility under Oregon Tilth and roasts Augusta's as a Certified B Corporation.
