Roast Level: Light
Bean Source Country: Tanzania
Varietal: Bourbon/ Kent/ Nyasa

Golden Hill is our Light roast from Tanzania. This coffee is a Peaberry variety, which contains a single bean per coffee fruit instead of the typical two. This allows the bean to develop fuller flavors since it is receiving twice the normal nutrients. Tanzania is the third-largest coffee producer in Africa. Grown on the hills of Mount Kilimanjaro, the high altitude qualifies this coffee as Strictly High Grown or SHG. Only a small part, one to nine percent, of any coffee crop consists of Peaberry beans. These beans are then separated due to their superior flavor. We named this roast after Golden Hill because the small Peaberry beans reminded us of the tiny community. Golden Hill is one of San Diego’s most historic and architecturally eclectic areas. Walking distance from Downtown, this area is a favorite of artists and musicians due to its central location and lower cost of living.

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Tanzania
Tanzanian specialty coffee is known for its bright acidity and fruity notes. Tanzania has high altitudes, such as the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, that allow for rich flavor development. Tanzania is known for its peaberry coffee, formed when one seed develops inside the coffee cherry instead of the usual two. Peaberry beans are prized for their intense flavor and, paired with Tanzanian's unique terrain, make for a specialty coffee drinker's dream.
