Mina Rica is owned by Carolina Posada, a 3rd generation coffee producer from the Antioquia region of Colombia. Carolina’s passion is supporting emerging female voices in the coffee industry and supporting young coffee farmers so that they are encouraged to stay in the coffee business.

Mina Rica is the result of three generations of hard work, beginning with Carolina’s grandfather Mario. He owned a small farm, worked hard and made a living producing coffee. In 1960, he was murdered in an attempt to steal his coffee. Margarita, Carolina’s grandmother, was left pregnant and raising seven children. These were difficult times for her in the countryside, so she decided to move to the city in search of better opportunities. It was Carolina’s father who decided to continue the tradition of growing coffee. Now, Carolina has taken the torch.

Carolina’s family delivers this coffee directly to our roastery themselves, so how’s that for direct trade? ;)

We taste: milk chocolate, clementine, nutty

This all-day-sipper has subtle hints of citrus that remind us of clementines along with notes of milk chocolate, brown sugar, and a nutty finish.

We taste:  chocolate, caramel, toasted nut

This blend of coffees from Colombia and Nicaragua is a crowd-pleasing, every day, all day sipper. The subtle hints of flavor we taste are the perfect combination of chocolatey goodness and nuttiness with a mild, approachable acidity. It’s reminiscent of one of our favorite chocolate, peanut, and nougat-filled candy bars. (You know the bar.)

This blend is delicious served as a drip coffee or as an espresso. Drink it black or however you like it. This is a judgement-free zone. ;)

Note: This is NOT an artificially flavored coffee. None of our coffees have any added flavors or additives, period. The flavors we list are simply subtle nuances or aromas.

Espresso for the people! This espresso blend is designed to be balanced and approachable. Thaddeus is named after Thaddeus Stevens, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania and a civil rights activist.

Even though it’s labeled “espresso”, Thaddeus makes a delicious cup of drip coffee too. For those who prefer drip coffees with a milder acidity, Thaddeus has your back.

We taste: plum, cocoa, brown sugar

Suggested espresso brewing parameters:

In: 17-19 grams
Out: 35-42 grams

We taste:  cashew, cherry, creamy

This tasty blend of washed coffees from Colombia and Mexico is the perfect answer for those looking for a balanced, approachable cup.

The fragrance of this freshly ground coffee contains hints of stone fruit, toffee, and milk chocolate. On the cupping table, we tasted cherry, citrus, and candied nuts. As it cools, it gets increasingly creamy and sweet with hints of plum.

We taste: berry jam, malted chocolate

Our current iteration of Hexproof features a blend of coffees from Colombia and Ethiopia. The fragrance of this freshly ground coffee contains a medley of cocoa and candied nuts with a hint of fruity sweetness.

Fun Fact: In the past, we had a beloved Holiday Blend once a year that was such a big hit, we decided to rename it and carry it all year (or until we sell out). The name of that coffee? Yep—Hexproof! Our customers love it for its balance, creaminess, and sweetness. Berries and chocolate? Yes please!
