LoCo Beans® — Fresh Roasted Coffee, Inc.
LoCo News (April 8th) - We hope you all had a wonderful, blessed Easter Sunday!
Our March 2026 GiveChoose Campaign in support of A Farm Less Ordinary (AFLO) is now in the rearview mirror. It’s been so rewarding to direct 100% of House Blend sales to such a worthy cause. (If you’re just joining us, AFLO is a local organization dedicated to creating meaningful employment opportunities for adults with intellectual, developmental, and/or cognitive disabilities.)
In other news, natural-processed Bolivian Pacamara is running on fumes, so to speak. Another week (two at the most) and then we’ll transition to our next pop-up offering - Venezualan Grade 1 lavado fino (fine washed). Later we’ll migrate back to Bolivia for organic washed Gesha. Overlaying this roll-out we’re still trying to arrange for the return of natural-processed El Salvadoran. Such pop-up offerings will complement - not replace - the beans in our lineup that you’ve come to love!
==================================
If you’re a coffee enthusiast, or even just someone who appreciates a truly flavorful cup, you owe it to yourself to explore natural-processed coffee. Natural processing is where coffee cherries are dried with the beans still inside, unlocking an ensemble of flavors that are simply unattainable through washed processes. Imagine:
Intense Fruitiness: Expect vibrant notes of ripe berries, tropical fruits, and even stone fruits like apricot and plum. This isn't just "coffee flavor," it's a complex, layered experience.
Rich, Syrupy Body: Natural processing imparts a heavier, more viscous mouthfeel, creating a luxurious and satisfying texture.
Sweetness Amplified: The drying process concentrates the natural sugars in the cherry, resulting in a naturally sweeter cup, often with hints of chocolate and caramel.
A Unique, Wild Character: Each natural processed coffee tells a story of its origin, with distinct and often surprising flavor profiles.
This isn't your everyday coffee. It’s an adventure for your taste buds, a journey toward exploring the real characters of the coffee beans.
P.S. Many customers have brought to our attention that they couldn’t see the Local Pickup option in the Shop page so we have added a new addition to the FAQ page on how to choose Local Pickup.
Safe handling and delivery of coffee
LoCo Beans made some changes a while back to address these challenging times. Credit card processing is completely hands-off; only the customer handles their credit card and no signatures are required. We will, of course, continue to observe stringent cleanliness standards during all counter operations. Our silo dropboxes — there are three now — remain a popular and convenient way to order/receive coffee; just order online and we’ll place your coffee in a dropbox for you to pick-up at your convenience. We appreciate your confidence and trust!
