Magic: Penrose blend. It’s 70% washed process from Guatemala, 30% washed process from Mexico, and 100% your new best friend. We put this blend together to be good as one thing and one thing only: everything. I’ll admit that we sourced and roasted these coffees to be stellar on espresso, but the reality is that this blend is incredible as filter too. It has massive body, deep rustic sweetness, and a super approachable fruitiness that’ll remind you that yes, this is Little Owl, and yes, we love complex coffees.
Our trusty Colombia brings the darker fruit and complexity. This coffee is the product of various producers tossing their best lots in a pile and crossing their fingers. Each farm has it’s own micro-mill, managing their individual harvest and post harvest in the way that best suits their needs and their microclimate. It rules.
The name.
Denver owes its elevated coffee scene to some of the early pioneers that set the roots of specialty coffee in this town. Our beloved blend name honors one of the individuals that was a huge inspiration and guiding light for Little Owl in its early days. We’re here because this person paved the way for us and companies like us. Dustin Fuchtman is the man, and his coffee company, Penrose, had a brief yet triumphant reign. His vision was high design, high quality, and just generally beautiful. We’re here to carry that torch. We’re here to remember that “people matter most.”
Fam, we’ve had to make some drastic moves this year - blame it on climate, blame it on tarriffs (mostly} blame it on supply chain. So we had to pivot from Brazil temporarily and tap back in with our homies in Mexico. Similar profile, cleaner chocolate, traded body for clarity but still a very nice complexity of flavors to make this your new staple blend. Brazil will be back next year, so don’t get too comfy because we plan on ramping up new blenders in the coming months.
Love you <3
