Groundwork News

In September 2017, Groundwork made quite a splash at the Golden Bean North America Roasters Competition in Portland, Oregon. Going up against more than 800 submissions from the top coffee roasters in the U.S. and Canada, we edged out the opposition to take home medals in four different distinctions.

In the weeks leading up to the competition, our team meticulously sourced interesting and intriguing organic coffees from around the world, resulting in the blends that snatched these awards.

Now, we’re giving you an opportunity to sample each of the award-winners — in a brand-new custom four-pack that we like to call The Coffee Quartet. The 2017 Golden Bean Winners Quartet features six-ounce bags of four of our most remarkable blends.  

Mama Quilla

As the name Mama Quilla suggests, our decaf signature espresso blend packs a serious punch even without the caffeine jolt. A light roast set off by notes of cherry, kumquat, and Fuji apple, this award-winner makes for an unforgettable cup.
Recommended Brew Method: Espresso

Pachamama

Viracocha

If you tried our 2017 Holiday Blend — and if you didn’t, dear God, why not? — then you’re already familiar with Viracocha, a gorgeous light-roast signature espresso blend with notes of pipe tobacco, brown sugar, and pine.
Recommended Brew Method: Espresso

Heritage Blend

With notes of fresh citrus, dark fruit, and milk chocolate, this single origin favorite is everything that makes our Ethiopia Heirloom Blend so delicious and a hands-down favorite among the Groundwork staff.
Recommended Brew Methods: Espresso or Chemex

The way we see it, you don’t work with coffee day in and day out if you don’t love coffee. We’re referring, of course, to a passionate, some might say irrational, occasionally inexplicable love affair with beans and everything that goes into preparing an amazing cup.

With that in mind, we’ve taken the long-overdue step of pulling back the curtain, and sharing with you some of our favorite offerings. In no particular order:

Bitches Brew

Papua New Guinea

Heirloom Blend

Venice Blend

Check out all of our favorites in our Staff Picks Collection, which we’ll be rotating regularly as we find new favorites.
