Behind the Beans

Protozoa is a blend of Regenerative Organic Certified beans from San Juan Rio de Coco, Nicaragua, and biodynamic coffee from Tolima, Colombia. We are proud to partner with Equation’s Soil Revolution Fund, which reinvests 5¢ of every pound of coffee we purchase back into technical support to help small-scale farmers in Colombia promote soil regeneration by intercropping coffee plants with beans to fix nitrogen in the soil, establishing vermicompost systems to replace chemical fertilizers, and planting native shade trees

Beautiful coffee. The beans arrived a couple of days after purchase, smelling freshly-roasted. The nose is full of ripe cherry, citrus, and damp soil. We brew it in our SimplyGood coffee machine and it’s an incredible cup. Balanced acidity, well-rounded bod, and just enough fruitiness in the finish to keep it interesting. Speciality coffee has been sorely in need of roasters like Biota, who are focused not just on quality and taste, but on the health of the soil, farmers, and ecosystems in which they’re grown. We love this coffee, will be buying more, and are looking forward to trying some of the single-origin offerings. Can’t recommend highly enough!

It's really smooth and has kind of a chocolatey note. It's probably the brown sugar. I don't find it acidic at all, but I mainly use it for espresso.

great balance of sweet and fruity. Versatile, I use it for espresso and filter. Mouthfeel is really syrupy
