communities where our coffees are grown
The majority of our beans are grown by a coop of women farmers located throughout Central and South America and now Africa. 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 throughout coffee growing regions.
Our Offerings
SUMATRA Fireside - This seasonal coffee is inspired by the magic found when a cup of coffee is handed to you while by a crackling fire, either in a fireplace or outside. Flavor notes forthcoming but we're targeting an earthy, robust and balanced cup not taking it too dark.
EL SALVADOR - Seasonal. This high altitude grown (1400m+)bourbon variant from the La Palma, Chalatenengo region is called "pacas" and the cup holds hints of hazelnuts and caramel.
PERU Altiplano French Roast - While not as dark as a
traditional French, this Cafe Femenino coffee has a syrupy sweetness without the bitterness
often associated with a traditional French roast.
GUATEMALA Tree Line Roast - This Cafe Femenino coffee can be described with 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 - 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.
