Roast Level: Light
A complex light roast with blackberry like acidity and caramel sweetness. The Ethiopian beans contribute complex tea and berry notes while the Guatemalan and Brazilian components provide a chewy middle, creating a unique flavor profile that’s both bright and sweet.
900-2,100 MASL (meters above sea level)
This light roast blend combines Ethiopian beans (1,850-2,100m) washed for vibrant floral and fruit notes, Guatemalan beans (1,500-2,000m) washed for balanced complexity and sweetness, and Brazilian beans (900-1,400m) using pulped natural processing for body and foundation. The complementary processing methods create a bright, layered cup that showcases the high-altitude Ethiopian character while maintaining balance and drinkability.
Ethiopia, Guatemala, Brazil
This blend sources from Ethiopian smallholder farms in Guji where traditional shade-growing and intercropping methods are maintained, Guatemalan producers in the volcanic highlands of Antigua and Huehuetenango with their heritage farming practices, and Brazilian estates in Cerrado utilizing modern agricultural techniques. These three origins combine traditional and contemporary farming approaches from premier coffee regions.
Ethiopian Heirloom Varietals, Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Catuaí, Mundo Novo
This blend showcases Ethiopian heirloom varietals known for their bright floral and fruit characteristics, combined with Guatemalan Bourbon and Typica for balanced sweetness and complexity, plus Brazilian Catuaí and Mundo Novo for body and chocolate notes. The Ethiopian heirlooms provide exceptional cup quality and unique flavor diversity, while the Central American varietals contribute structural balance, and the Brazilian cultivars add foundation and richness to create a well-rounded light roast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our vibrant light roast whole bean profile.
Q. What does a black tea finish mean in coffee?
High-quality, washed Ethiopian light roasts often possess a delicate, crisp, and refreshing finish reminiscent of fine black tea. It means the coffee leaves a clean, elegant, and slightly floral feeling on the palate rather than a heavy, oily coating.
Q. Does this coffee contain actual blackberries or artificial flavoring?
No. Sparks Lake Berry is a 100% natural, single-ingredient specialty coffee blend with zero added flavorings. The blackberry, plum, and caramel characteristics are naturally occurring flavor notes inherent to the high-altitude heirloom beans.
Q. What is the best way to brew Sparks Lake Berry?
Light roasts shine brightest in drip coffee makers, pour-overs (like a V60 or Chemex), and French press. These methods allow the delicate fruit notes, berry acidity, and clean tea-like finish to fully extract and develop.
Q. Does this light roast have more caffeine?
Yes. Because light roast coffee is roasted for a shorter duration and at lower temperatures, the beans retain slightly more of their organic density and natural caffeine content compared to darker roasts.
