Family Drama!⁠
⁠
About the blend:⁠
⁠
Guatemala San Martin Jilotepeque⁠
⁠
This Guatemala is grown high in the mountains of San Martin Jilotepeque. This is an organic Guatemala that is also currently featured in our Breakfast blend and Wild espresso. The coffee varieties grown here are Caturra and Catuai. We love this coffee for its rich and chocolaty profile, medium to high body, medium acidity, and notes of brown sugar, honey, milk chocolate, orange and nectarine. ⁠
⁠
The farmers behind this lot belong to the Asproguate farmers association. Asproguate holds monthly workshops in organic fertilizers, fungicides, and insecticides so producers can make these essential products on their own farms. The association has made efforts to increase membership and participation from women who currently make up fifty-five percent membership. ⁠
⁠
Costa Rica Dota⁠
⁠
Our importer behind this coffee, La Minita, owns and operates a farm in Costa Rica and they also source coffee from their neighbors and surrounding communities. This coffee is from smallholder farmers in the Dota county bordering the Tarrazú county. This area is mountainous and rugged, and the elevations are plenty high for specialty coffee to flourish at 1200-1900 meters above sea level. This region is recognized globally for its specialty coffee. The coffee has notes of caramel, almond, dates, and chocolate with medium acidity and a clean finish.⁠

A latte. Smooth, creamy steamed milk on top of a rich shot of your favorite espresso. Maybe even some latte art to really top off the perfect coffee experience. It’s why you go to your favorite coffee shop; to get the best coffee you can splurge for that day. But if you’re a fellow millennial, don’t make it a habit or you won’t be able to afford a house!⁠
⁠
There are other options, thankfully. Brew your coffee at home! What’s that, it’s not as good? Nonsense! Just spend 2 or 3 grand on a brand new machine and grinder, that’ll pay itself off…eventually!⁠
⁠
Really though, there are other ways. My preferred method is finding a machine that someone is looking to get rid of. Second hand equipment usually needs a tune up, a cleaning, maybe some maintenance here and there, but perfectly functioning machines can be had for pennies on the dollar. If you’re like me, you try to find the broken machines. Equipment that someone else has written off as unusable or unrepairable can be found for free, or near to it. But how do you find them, and how can you fix them?⁠

Ethiopia Sasaba Natural⁠
⁠
Producer: Tsegay Hagos Tesfaye and smallholder farmers⁠
Region: Guji⁠
Altitude: 2150 masl⁠
Variety: Mixed Heirloom⁠
Process: Natural⁠
⁠
Sasaba is a washing station in Guji run by Tsegay Hagos Tesfaye. To get here, you have to drive past Yirgacheffe, along older roads (muddy paths really), and through the otherworldly cloud-crowned mountains of the area. If you have the right vehicle and it is not too muddy, you will make it to the fertile district of Kercha. Here coffee farmers grow on small plots of land around 2000 meters above sea level. Sasaba is equipped with over 600 African raised drying beds and a network of 500 smallholder farmers in the hills around the wet mill.⁠
⁠
Our importer behind this coffee, Trabocca, connected with Tsegay and visited Sasaba in 2012. This partnership has been going strong since 2013. The mill makes it a point to work with the area's most experienced farmers, offering premiums for their coffee when quality standards are met. Tsegay Hagos knows that the success of the Sasaba mill is closely tied to that of the smallholders. “Sasaba does not grow alone, we support our farmers and train them, so they can one day export their own coffee.”⁠
⁠
This natural lot is pronounced with flavors of blueberry, cocoa and fruity cereal milk like peach and strawberry. These flavors can be attributed to the local terroir and the careful drying on raised beds in the sun for 15 to 20 days.⁠

Our bakers have new fall pairings for you! 🍂🧡☕️ Which pairing are you choosing?⁠
⁠
Bear Hug Latte + Oatmeal Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie (available daily): Our most popular cafe drink is warm, cozy, and feels like a hug. Sweet house-made brown sugar syrup, honey, espresso, and your choice of milk topped with cinnamon. Paired with the classic autumn flavor of pumpkin textured with oats and sweetened with chocolate chips, it's the perfect way to start your morning.⁠
⁠
Pumpkin Pie Latte + Brown Butter Maple Pecan Scone (available this week only): Our twist on the fall classic, the Pumpkin Pie Latte, is made with real pumpkin puree and pie spices. It's flavorful yet subtly sweet, allowing the flavor of the espresso to shine through. This one is paired with a limited-time scone, the Brown Butter Maple Pecan. The nutty flavor and buttery deliciousness go perfectly with the pumpkin.⁠
⁠
A reminder that our pastries sell out quickly. If you'd like to try one, make sure to come in early before they're gone! Pastries can only be ordered in-store and are not available when ordering pickup.⁠

Region: Central Valley⁠
Producer: Las Lajas Mill, the Chacon family⁠
Elevation: 1500 masl ⁠
Variety: Caturra and Catuai⁠
Process: Natural⁠
⁠
⁠
Dona Francisca and her husband Oscar Chacon of Las Lajas are 3rd generation coffee producers. They own and manage their micro mill, Las Lajas, and specialty coffee farms in different regions of the foothills of the Poas volcano in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. In 2000, they started processing coffee themselves at the Las Lajas mill, largely focusing on yellow, red and black honey processed coffee. The Chacon family is committed to producing the best high-quality specialty coffee while focusing on environmentally friendly practices. During the harvest of their coffees, they measure the brix content in the coffee cherries to determine the best time to pick their coffees to obtain the utmost sweet and fruit forward profile. Additionally, water used at Las Lajas is minimal, since their coffees do not undergo the washed process. Oscar and Francisca are focused on sharing their knowledge and passion for specialty coffee with their four children, as they will eventually take the reins of the family business.⁠

New Yellow Label: Ethiopia Sidama Washed⁠
⁠
Producer: Smallholder farmers⁠
Washing Station: Ayla⁠
Region: Bensa, Shantawene, Sidama⁠
Elevation: 1950⁠
Variety: Mixed⁠
Process: Washed⁠
⁠
Sidama washed from Bensa? Say no more. That is the general sense we have here at Backyard Beans about these coffees. Sidama is one of the most renowned coffee producing regions in the world – and things only get better as you narrow it down to Bensa, and then further down to the Shantawene kebele. This is where the Ayla washing station is and this coffee is a standout winner. Elegant and sweet, we taste floral notes of bergamot, vanilla, and black tea, filled out with juicy notes of meyer lemon and peach.⁠
⁠
The quality in this coffee begins with cherry selection. Cherries are dunked in water to sort out the floaters. Then it is depulped and fermented for 100 hours. Ayla is implementing a new fermentation method for this coffee – a longer fermentation time and the water being changed out every 24 hours. Fermentation proceeds slowly at 65-69 Fahrenheit. The coffee is then washed and spread out on raised beds to dry under parabolic shade nets for 15 days.⁠
⁠
Fertilization is rare in the area because the soil is naturally fertile. Coffee in this area is native to the forests and helps to protect the ecosystem. Competing crops are khat and eucalyptus which are environmentally damaging due to their high water consumption, which depletes the water table. We are happy to be highlighting Sidama coffee and doing a small part to help sustain coffee production and environmental sustainability in this area.⁠

New Sleeve Sponsor: BZ Orthodontics 🦷🩵⁠
⁠
"At BZ Orthodontics, we believe a smile can change so much more than your teeth.⁠
⁠
Dr. Brian Zebrick knows that firsthand. Growing up, he was self-conscious about his own smile and wasn’t able to get braces until he was a little older. Seeing his new smile for the first time completely changed the way he felt about himself, and that experience ultimately inspired him to become an orthodontist and give that same feeling to others.⁠
⁠
That philosophy is still at the heart of BZ Orthodontics today. Everything is patient first. From the moment you call to the day you see your finished smile, we want you to feel like part of our family.⁠
⁠
And to us, that extends beyond the walls of our office. Being “Your Community Orthodontist” means showing up for the community that has supported us, whether that’s partnering with local businesses, supporting our schools and organizations, giving back to local causes, or simply finding fun ways to bring people together.⁠
⁠
We’re proud to call this community home, and even prouder to help create the smiles in it."⁠
⁠
Next time you're at our cafe, check out your sleeve!⁠

Family Drama is back! Cold brew cans coming soon 👀 ⁠
⁠
Family Drama is back and spicier than ever for the fall of 2026. We source coffees from Central America each year for this blend. Because coffee crops are seasonal, the Fall season is the perfect time to enjoy fresh crop Latin America coffees. This year we selected Guatemala San Martin Jilotepeque and Costa Rica Dota, both washed process coffees. This is a medium roast coffee with notes of caramel, dates, orange, and almond. It is oh so delicious.⁠
