An uncommon balance between bright and sweet stone fruits with lower toned flavors of rich milk chocolate, caramel, and honey
Little Brother always features relationship coffees that stand on their own as single origin offerings from small scale producers we know, so the overall quality, balance and consistency is rarely matched in an espresso blend. Even with such consistent coffees, we also roast each component separately to align their development and solubility for the most even extraction possible. Always a breeze to dial in as espresso and easy to brew using your favorite filter method.
Little Brother is our reference to the company of Saint Francis as well as an expression of our vision in sourcing and sharing coffees. Francis affectionately called his group of friends as the “little brothers” never taking themselves too seriously while at the same time serving one another and the world with a familial connection. Little Brother Espresso is our attempt to give you something unassuming and humble yet inherently special and significant, sweet and approachable yet still compelling. We always comprise Little Brother with coffees from small family farmers, the true source of the coffee stream flowing throughout the world.

Bolivia Finca Rustica 50% |
Grown by Ruben Caceres in the San Ignacio community of Caranavi, Bolivia. Ruben’s farm is on a steep slope at a lower altitude than we typically work with at 1200m to 1300m. But Ruben’s humble tenacity to learn and grow is bearing fruit as we have seen his quality increase year over year from variety selection to farming practices. This lot is comprised old Typica and Caturra along with newer planted Catuai and Icatu. The profile is classic Bolivia lending syrupy and candied flavors of apple, plum and fruitcake. |

Guatemala Don Guayo 50% |
Grown by Eddie Gomez in Ciudad Vieja, Antigua. We’ve been faithfully visiting and partnering with Guayo since 2012 before Saint Frank even launched, where Volcan de Agua draws out perfectly balanced and structured flavors of both orange fruits and chocolates. |
