LoCo Beans® — Fresh Roasted Coffee, Inc.

LoCo News (September 11th) — Congratulations to all who participated in our annual “Summer Campaign.” There were eighty-one $10 awards. It’s our way of saying Thank You!

Special offers: Things are changing fast around here. Brazilian natural-processed coffee is nearing the end of its run. Initial batch of El Salvadoran natural-processed coffee is likewise running out (with an additional shipment expected soon, but with a gap). In the meantime, we have a small lot of Ugandan natural-processed coffee; we’ll roll that out when the Brazilian runs out. Future news awaits regarding direct-sourced Vietnamese arabica and robusta - and perhaps Kenyan.

Pro tip: Our freshly roasted beans make a killer iced coffee — perfect for beach coolers, morning hikes, or lazy afternoons on the porch.

We continue to receive great enthusiasm for the 100% Kona Natural that have gone through the dried-in-the-fruit “natural” process that created a crisply sweet, low-toned cup with a quiet background of acidity. These beans are carefully roasted to preserve notes of chocolate, sweet lime, and buttery cashew nut. If you’re a coffee enthusiast, or even just someone who appreciates a truly flavorful cup, you owe it to yourself to explore natural-processed coffee. Natural processing is where coffee cherries are dried with the beans still inside, unlocking an ensemble of flavors that are simply unattainable through washed processes. Imagine:

• Intense Fruitiness: Expect vibrant notes of ripe berries, tropical fruits, and even stone fruits like apricot and plum. This isn't just "coffee flavor," it's a complex, layered experience.

• Rich, Syrupy Body: Natural processing imparts a heavier, more viscous mouthfeel, creating a luxurious and satisfying texture.

• Sweetness Amplified: The drying process concentrates the natural sugars in the cherry, resulting in a naturally sweeter cup, often with hints of chocolate and caramel.

• A Unique, Wild Character: Each natural processed coffee tells a story of its origin, with distinct and often surprising flavor profiles.

This isn't your everyday coffee. It’s an adventure for your taste buds, a journey toward exploring the real characters of the coffee beans.

P.S. Many customers have brought to our attention that they couldn’t see the Local Pickup option in the Shop page so we have added a new addition to the FAQ page on how to choose Local Pickup.
