Sure, you’ve heard of a coffee b**r, but a b**r coffee?!? Co-Fermented with hops?? Yep! Let us introduce SESSION IPA...

Sebastian Ramirez is an innovative coffee producer at El Placer farm in Quindio, Colombia. We were lucky enough to get our hands on a microlot of Pink Bourbon that underwent a honey process and extended carbonic maceration with hops and lemongrass.

After harvest, the cherries underwent carbonic maceration on CO 2 for 100 hours. The coffee was then depulped, leaving the mucilage intact, and returned to sealed fermentation tanks with hops and lemongrass for an additional 100 hour carbonic maceration before drying on raised beds.

We roasted this one light with a shorter development time to retain as much punchiness in the coffee as possible. The result is a WILD ride of super-bright lemon zest, pine, Mosaic hops, grapefruit, and candied ginger. Just the aroma of a pour-over is insane!

12oz bags are available for $30 at our cafe and online store for U.S. shipping. We know this is an expensive coffee, but these are also the most expensive greens we’ve purchased, so our standard mark up applies (read: we’re not price gouging, we promise!).

This coffee will also be available as a pour-over at the shop starting Friday. And a friendly reminder: Fresh Bean Friday means 15% off coffee bags every Friday, so it’s a great day to try something new 😉

KUMANDAY is a brand new Colombian coffee bursting with notes of strawberry, red grape, and sweet, fermenty, chocolaty funk! This coffee comes from Felipe Restrepo, a 2nd generation coffee producer specializing in experimental fermentations. If you were a fan of our El Puente Natural (which is no longer available to us), then you’ll love this addition to the lineup!

Grown in the Caldas dept. of Colombia, the name Kumanday refers to the Nevado del Ruiz volcano that towers over the region. This coffee underwent a dry fermentation (similar to the carbonic maceration process in w**e making). After harvest, the cherries are placed in fermentation tanks for 36hrs with a CO2 assist, allowing the natural characteristics of the fruit to develop. After dry fermentation is complete, the coffee is transferred into a temperature controlled mechanical silo to complete the drying process.

Bags are now available in store and online, and look for Kumanday on drip at the shop next week!

🎉🥳Outer Dark is turning 2!!!🎊🎈

This Saturday July 11th is our official SECOND ANNIVERSARY PARTY, and serendipitously, it’s the same day as TACOMA PRIDE! So we figured we’d throw one big pride-themed birthday party to celebrate!

Saturday, July 11th: 8am-3pm
- Special birthday cake iced drink concocted by our staff 🧑‍🔬
- Birthday cupcakes 🧁from our incredible friends
- 15% off whole bean coffee all day ☕️
- Floral installation by the insanely talented 💐

Stop by during your pride day celebration, grab a drink and a cupcake, and help us celebrate 2 (insanely short and somehow insanely long) years of Outer Dark Coffee!

So much love to all of you for your continued support, we genuinely couldn’t do it without you! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

This week we’re releasing BRAZIL PEABERRY, a nutty and sweet single origin from Sul de Minas, Brazil. Grown by Araujo Reis and family at Fazenda do Salto farm, this coffee underwent natural processing and only peaberries were selected for this specific lot.

We taste notes of creamy peanut butter, milk chocolate, vanilla, and nougat, with a strong peanut butter aroma that jumps right out of the bag! Roasted just light of medium, this is a versatile coffee that works beautifully for filter brews, but also makes a sweet and creamy espresso.

Available in store and online for nationwide shipping!

Introducing VIVANCO, a new anaerobic natural from Peru! Grown by Alex Vivanco and family, this coffee underwent anaerobic fermentation immediately after harvest, followed by natural processing on shaded raised beds.

This is one of the funkier coffees we’ve released at Outer Dark, presenting notes of berry liqueur and fermented cherries, while maintaining a chocolaty backbone. It’s roasted light, but maintains a deceptively full body with ever present notes of fermentation and a clean finish.

Available now at our shop in Downtown Tacoma and online for US shipping!
