Painted Ladies Seasonal Espresso
Price range: $23.00 through $157.00
Paint the town!
For our 20th spring season, we’re celebrating San Francisco’s most colorful icons!
Our first Painted Ladies espresso from 2018 was inspired by “Postcard Row,” but this year, we’re focusing on the “Four Seasons” houses – a quartet of stunning Queen Anne homes just off the beaten path in the Haight-Ashbury.
Each hand-carved detail is perfect, precise, and full of character. And just like this espresso blend, each part completes the picture, with elements that shine through, but don’t overwhelm.
We chose these 3 coffees with bright, beautiful harmony in mind, and they work together to form another true San Francisco original!
Brighten your day with exceptional craftsmanship by:
Rosarios Bajos, Perú
Rosarios Altos is a community of several farmers who grow both coffee and sugar cane in Piura, a private conservation area that protects several endangered species and forests of this Andean region. Farmers process and dry their coffees on their farms before moving their coffee down the mountain to the nearest towns for export. With notes of dark brown sugar, pomegranate and molasses, this coffee is rich and sweet.
Oscar Rivas, Huila, Colombia
Finca Monte Frio is located in northern Huila at 1800 MASL – high in the mountains. Oscar Rivas’s farm, consisting of Caturra and Castillo varieties, is located in the perfect climate for slow maturation of cherries, which lends itself to sweet and rich flavors.
Ancuya Community, Colombia
Communities surrounding the Galeras volcano are home to some of the most beautiful coffees – the nutrient rich soil and mild climate that the volacano provides enhance the clarity and brightness of these coffees, as well as provide consistent seasonality for the producers. This community lot comes from Ancuya, with notes of tropical fruit and dark chocolate.
