Partnership Blends

A collection of coffees from the Aldea processing lab in La Union, Honduras, this single-origin blend is built to showcase the best of the producers in the region while maintaining balance, consistency and representing the best attributes of a Central American coffee.

How to brew

With its smooth balance of rich caramel, roasted nuts, and creamy chocolate, the MCC Blue & Gold Blend is best enjoyed in a drip coffee brewer. The consistent extraction of drip brewing highlights the comforting sweetness of caramel and brings forward the nutty depth of the blend, while allowing the creamy chocolate notes to round out the cup. The result is a warm and inviting brew.

Whew, this is a question! Aldea is different for 3 main reasons. 

First, Aldea grew out of a non-profit organization working in Honduras. Through this relationship, we can purchase coffee directly from the farmer and pay our farmers at a minimum, 50% above fair-trade. 

Second, we roast our coffee in small batches of 15 pounds at a time. This allows us to have more control over our profiles, and maintain consistency batch to batch. 

Third, we became a Certified B Corp in 2020. Certified B Corps are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. This certification holds us accountable to make the best decisions for our employees, the coffee farmers, and the communities we work in. 

Aldea Coffee is a people-and-planet-before-profit, B Corp. By partnering directly with farmers, roasting specialty coffee, and serving you, we strive to bring the highest level of social and environmental engagement to all the communities in which we work.

We are currently roasting full days, Monday through Friday. So, yes! Your coffee should be freshly roasted, and ready to drink upon receiving. Our roastery team is incredibly mindful about ensuring your coffee will be at its best when it arrives to you.
