Flavor Experience

Each cup opens with bold cocoa notes that create a solid foundation. Toasted nut undertones weave through the profile, adding warmth and smoothness.

The result is a full-bodied coffee that is both bold and nuanced, ideal for savoring throughout the day.

Origin & Region

• Brazil – Cerrado Region: Advanced farming techniques and controlled drying methods give Brazilian beans their signature chocolate body and consistency.

• Mexico – Chiapas Region: Cultivated by family farms and cooperatives, these beans contribute balance, subtle acidity, and sweetness while preserving traditional and sustainable methods.

Together, these regions provide reliability, character, and a marriage of heritage and innovation.

Altitude & Processing

• Brazil (900–1,400 MASL): Pulped natural processing enhances sweetness and texture, giving depth to the chocolate foundation.

• Mexico (1,300–1,750 MASL): Washed processing adds clean structure and brightness, ensuring balance in the final cup.

The combination of these methods creates harmony—smooth body, roasted depth, and vibrant clarity.

Blend Composition

Velvet Ridge is composed of varietals selected for resilience and flavor:

• Bourbon & Typica (Mexico): Brightness, balance, and sweetness.

• Catuaí, Catucaí & Mundo Novo (Brazil): Rich body, cocoa-forward depth, and robust foundation.

These varietals withstand the medium-dark roast while preserving the unique traits of their origins.
