Coffee - Bulk

Co-Optiva

Combined organic, single-origin coffees produced by Fair Trade certified cooperatives to highlight the coffee. With flavors reminiscent of chocolate and molasses, Co-Optiva is a full-bodied coffee with medium acidity, suitable for sipping all day, every day.

Columbia Paso Fino

A Colectivo-exclusive coffee, Paso Fino is created through an intensive search for the best deliveries from hundreds of coffee producers in the departments of Huila and Cauca in southwestern Colombia - a relationship of which we are very proud to be a part. Each lot is screened and cupped at origin as well as at our lab in Milwaukee, and the best lots are selected and blended to create an intense but balanced coffee with pronounced, sweet acidity and full body. This is GREAT Colombian coffee!

Dark Sumatra Highlands

Roasted darker to bring out the coffee's earthy flavor and full body. This coffee grows on a variety of small-scale farms located in the Indonesian island of Sumatra's northern tip. The farmers, members of Fair Trade certified cooperatives, are dedicated to producing some of the best Sumatran coffees. Features flavors of molasses, licorice and chocolate.

Decaf Mexican Kulaktik

Using high-pressured water is the only natural way to remove caffeine from green coffee - a process that makes sense for certified organic coffees. Organic/Fair Trade and naturally decaffeinated!

Guatemala Colibri

This exceptional coffee is produced on the southwestern shores of Lago de Atitlán. It is there that Tz'utujil-speaking, small-scale Mayan farmers grow typica, bourbon, caturra, and red and yellow catuaí cultivars at an average of 1,600 meters above sea level. Expect notes of Juicy, Fruit Punch, and Cocoa.

Guatemala Mt. of Flowers

Guatemala Mountain of Flowers is composed of the highest-scoring micro-lots sourced from small communities near the town of San Miguel Dueñas. Grown in the famous Antigua region, it is harvested from 100 percent Bourbon cultivar trees. Mountain of Flowers features flavors of citrus, dark chocolate, cherry, and tropical fruit with a sparkling acidity and creamy body.

Mexico Kulaktik

Colectivo’s history with Kulaktik dates back to 1998 when we were introduced to the cooperative through its Milwaukee sister parish. Located in the highlands of Chiapas, the group now boasts more than 250 members who grow coffee at elevations ranging from 1,350 to 1,800 meters.

After years of dependence on outside organizations, Kulaktik – meaning “vine” in the Mayan language Tzeltal – now carries its own export license and continues to focus on quality improvements. The result is a coffee rich in flavors of plum, dark chocolate, and concord grape with a medium body. Enjoy!

Mother Fool's House Blend

A blend of Organic Light Mexico Kulaktik, Organic Light Peru, and Organic Dark Sumatran rounds off into a solid medium roast. Great for hot brew, and is used in-house for Mother Fool's cold brew.

Sumatra Highlands

On the northern tip of Sumatra island in Aceh Province, the Gayo Highlands region churns out some of the best coffees in all of Indonesia. The rich, volcanic soils and unique cultivars create a cup profile prized for its complexity and rich, syrupy body. We source from the most reputable Fair Trade cooperatives that are dedicated to continuous quality improvements as well as providing economic and social benefits for their many members. This lot of Sumatra Fair Trade/Organic Highlands comes from our primary origin partners Koperasi Ketiara and features flavors of dried fruit, clove, black tea, and sweet herbs. Enjoy!

"Produced by smallholding members of the Koperasi Ketiara Cooperative, a longtime origin partner of Colectivo. Coffees like this one from the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra are valued for their complex earth and fruit notes that appear to result largely from unorthodox fruit removal and drying practices called “wet-hulling.” - Coffeereview.com
