Coffee Story

Supernova is a more developed version of our Sweet Spot blend. We roast each component a bit darker to really highlight each coffee's natural sweetness, to amplify the body and to tone down acidity. These coffees have been caramelized fully but are very farm from being burnt. This results in a super warm and comforting coffee with a thick, velvety body, a deep sweetness and lingering, pleasant aftertaste. Supernova is great as a daily drinker, an incredible espresso or a rich and smooth cold brew. It drinks great black or with cream and sugar.

Collapsible content

Varietal

The Brazilian component is Mundo Nuovo. Mundo Nuovo is a natural cross between Bourbon and Typica. The variety was originally identified and planted in Brazil in the 1940s and has been a widely distributed varietal in the country since 1952. The varietal is characterized by a good cup quality and vigorous production but is late maturing and prone to disease.

The Salvadoran component is Red Bourbon. Bourbon is one of the most widely known and oldest varietals of Arabica. The varietal was introduced to and named after the island of Bourbon (now known as Reunion Island) by French missionaries from Yemen in the early 1700s. It spread through Africa and the Americas in the mid 1800s. Many varietals today have a lineage tied to the Bourbon varietal. Bourbon is known to have great cup quality but has medium-low volume per-plant production and is susceptible to all of the major coffee diseases.

Processing

The Brazilian coffee is a natural process and the Salvadoran is fully washed.

Terroir

Carmo de Minas in the Minas Gerais state of Brazil is widely known as the premiere area for high quality coffee production in the country. Many of the farms in the area are on the smaller side by Brazilian standards. Carmo de Minas has fertile soil, rolling hills and mountains with a sunny and mild climate. The latitude of the region is at the far southern extreme for coffee production. So, its relatively low altitude, 900-1500 masl, is sufficient for high-quality coffee production.

Santa Ana, El Salvador is home to many world-renowned coffee producers. Many of which have farms located on the slopes of the Santa Ana volcano. The volcanic soils are extremely fertile. The region has cool, to cold nights, depending on altitude and warm to hot days. This extreme diurnal shift helps create coffees with great sweetness and complexity. The region gets well-defined rainy and dry seasons which allows for more consistent ripening and harvesting times when compared to other coffee production areas.
