Coffee

We dial down the roast level slightly for Turning Pointe's Special blend. The flavors of milk chocolate, stone fruit, and pecan are on full display to invigorate your morning routine. We are excited to extend our partnership with Turning Pointe Autism Foundation of Naperville, Illinois by donating 100% of all net profits from their branded products back to their organization. Each coffee bag purchased allows them to keep adults with autism employed at their facility. Medium Roast Level  Established by volunteers in 2007, Founded and led by Randy & Kim Wolf, a team of professionals developed a program of supports that proved life-changing for their family. Their son, Jack, had been diagnosed with autism at eighteen months and was engaging in the most destructive behaviors associated with the disorder. As their programming helped Jack emerge from a place of isolation to a place of connection, Randy and Kim were relieved but not satisfied. Randy and Kim galvanized a group of volunteers, experts, and the community to start Turning Pointe Autism Foundation in order to create programming for more students.  Turning Pointe is dedicated to creating best practice learning environments to increase independence, and improve communication and socially appropriate behaviors for individuals on the spectrum. Turning Pointe strives to raise the quality of educational supports for children and young adults with autism. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, we rely on the partnership of volunteers, donors, school districts and Employment Partners to build a thriving center for students learning with autism. https://turningpointeautismfoundation.org

From the first sip, expect a buttery, viscous body that coats your palate fully. The flavor composition is simply indulgent—coconut macaroon and cake batter bring a decadent sweetness, while grape and caramel apple add a tiny burst of acidity and balance." - Roaster Tony Background: Edith and Ivan Meza Sagarvinaga are a sister-brother duo with an incredible farm project and some of the best, most consistent coffee coming out of Peru. Finca Tasta is located in Peru’s central forest; the farm was their late mother’s project, and the two have since taken over operations. In the last handful of years, they’ve refined their processing methods and expanded their operations and hope to become a beacon of specialty coffee and sustainability. This honey process coffee is briefly fermented for twelve hours before being dried, fermented mucilage still unwashed from the parchment, over the course of about two weeks on raised beds. Edith and her brother Ivan are leading by example, focusing on sustainability and independence by diversifying crops beyond just coffee to include food for themselves and their workers. They harvest three varieties of plantains, yucca, beans, corn, tomatoes, pine trees, sugarcane, raspberries, blackberries, and pumpkins. They hope to inspire other farmers to move away from monoculture and back towards a model of truly sustainable agriculture. Our Studio Series designation is for unique coffees that offer cleanliness and complexities which far exceed expectations.
