Coffees
Our coffees are roasted to highlight the nuances of origin and work well with brewing tools found in cafés, at the trailhead and at home. We do extensive taste testing using a range of brewing techniques from the backpacker-friendly moka pot to the (decidedly less portable) commercial espresso machine.

The majority of our beans are grown by a coop of women farmers located throughout Central and South America. Their distributor, Café Femenino, is dedicated to enhancing the lives of women and children in coffee growing regions around the world. By drinking Trailhead coffee, you are not only starting your morning with wonderful flavors, you’re having a real effect in making the world a better place.

Our other coffees have a strong impact supporting local coffee farmers with higher than Fair Trade prices and help fund our women's micro-loan program in Africa.

Our Offerings

COLOMBIA Los Naranjos - A coffee with strong chocolate notes and excellent body. Comes to us in special sealed bags due to the quality of this very special coffee.

DUAL ORIGIN Ethiopia & Tanzania- This seasonal pair of complimentary coffees brings two distinct origins and flavors together. Unlike a blend, this offering is about origin and is seasonal/fleeting while a blend is usually all about consistent flavor only.

PERU Altiplano French Roast - While not as dark as a traditional French, this coffee has a syrupy sweetness without the bitterness often associated with a traditional French roast.

GUATEMALA Tree Line Roast - Our latest addition. Three words: Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. Amazing.

ESPRESSO Climber's Blend - In a commercial espresso machine or fireside moka-pot, this espresso is stellar. As a straight up espresso, macchiato or traditional cappuccino, tangy brightness develops into rich dark chocolate, toffee and a hint of molasses.

SUNBREAK Morning Blend - We’ve taken two origins roasted to different depth and brought out the magic in each by blending them into one fantastic coffee. Inspired by the fleeting nature of the sun during the Portland winter.

DECAF PERU - We receive high compliments on this decaf, an unusual reaction. This is because we treat it with the same respect as our other coffees in terms of roast profile development and analysis. We also start with a lovely (and quite expensive) Fair Trade Organic coffee.

Nekisse Momentum Roast - SOLD OUT This is a very special micro-lot coffee from Ethiopia. With strong tones of Blueberry and other fruit, this is an unforgettable cup. 50% of profits from this coffee support our KIVA micro-loan program to women in Africa.
