SEASONAL FAVORITES ~ SPRING & SUMMER

• Blackstrap Iced Coffee
• Blackstrap Latte
• Lavender Latte
• Lavender Mocha
• Lavender Matcha Latte

At Modern we like coffees that are well-balanced and full, with enough roast development to yield lots of body and depth of flavor, but not so much that the nuances of each coffee are overpowered by the roast. We want our coffee to taste great black and hold up well if you like to add milk and sugar. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

DAYBREAKER
A blend of washed process Guatemalan and Colombian coffees that achieve a balance of body, acidity and sweetness. You’ll get caramel, toffee and dark chocolate, with more bittersweet cacao in the espresso roast. It’s a great morning cup; hence, the name!

STARGAZER
A blend comprised of a naturally processed Brazilian and a washed process Ethiopian. With this coffee, we’re going for a smooth and approachable cup. It’s incredible as espresso, but also makes a deliciously smooth cup of coffee. A staff favorite!

COLOMBIA MAGIA DEL CAMPO
Colombian coffees are some of the most delicious coffees grown anywhere in the world. Tolima’s home high in the mountains of northern Colombia benefits from extremely nutrient-rich soil free of agrochemicals. Our Tolima shows off exceptional brightness, balanced body and notes of tart cherry, toffee and cocoa.

PERU CHURUPAMPA
This lovely coffee comes from Finca Churupampa, a progressive coffee farm in Chirinos, Cajamarca, Peru. The farm has a training center that is open to the entire community and works with farmers to improve their production practices to break a cycle of poverty that has entrapped farmers in theregion for many years. In the cup, you’ll get toffee sweetness and creamy milk chocolate.

GUATEMALA MANOS DE MUJER
Manos de Mujer is grown and produced by indigenous women who are members of the Acodihue Cooperative the and owners of their land. We love this fruit-forward Guatemalan coffee. It stands out with notes of peaches & nectarines and a sweet praline finish that rounds out the cup.

HONDURAS LA LABOR
La Labor is a community-driven coffee. This coffee is comprised of the best lots from families within the La Labor town in Ocotepeque, Honduras. The Asociación de Mujeres Productoras de Café La Labor (AMPROCAL) is the only association in the region with 100% female producers. This washed process Honduras is an approachable, yet remarkable coffee that exhibits layers of flavor and balance. You’ll taste sweet nougat & bright candied orange.

ETHIOPIA LIMMU KOSSA (washed)
Limmu Kossa Estate is a large, family-owned farm that is committed to using modern and environmentally responsible farming techniques to produce high-quality coffee. The farm employs an exemplary agroforestry system making use of the shade of original, indigenous forest species. Limmu Kossa is an exquisitely bright and delicate coffee, full of dynamic floral notes and layers of stone fruit
sweetness.

SLOWPOKE Decaf
A phenomenally full-bodied and juicy offering, this decaf hails from Tolima, Colombia, the same region as our Magia del Campo. Even through the decaffeination process, it retains a bounty of flavor and aromas. In the cup you’ll get flavors of mandarin orange, toffee and dark brown sugar. This coffee is a 100% women-produced ethyl acetate decaffeinated lot from the ASOPEP cooperative.
