CAFE CARMELITA #1103

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we demand a lot from our coffees — after 40 years in business, Tony's has found the magic formula. Their signature blend, Cafe Carmelita, was created back in 2005, and it's been a best seller ever since. I can't get enough of this coffee: it's a rich and buttery medium roast, but it tastes more like a medium-dark, with low acidity and deep notes of dark chocolate syrup and toasted caramel. With a splash of milk, Carmelita makes a delicious faux-mocha; no additional chocolate needed. It's just the type of coffee I'm craving, as we head into cooler weather and rainy days (or snowy days, if you're over on the East Coast!).

As you learn more about Tony's Coffee as a company, you can't help but love them. Ever since they were founded in 1971, Tony's has made a name for themselves with their commitment to organic coffees, fair trade partnerships, and environmental sustainability. As of this year, their operations are fully carbon neutral; by 2030, their goal is to offset all of their historic carbon emissions, from 1971 to the present! That's amazing. Their 2021 Roaster of the Year award echoes their impressive dedication to making the world of specialty coffee a better place. According to Roast magazine, Tony's "earned top honors for its vibrant company culture, community involvement and commitment to ethical sourcing practices and social responsibility." Now that's icing on the (coffee) cake!

Freshly-roasted from our friends in orca whale country, Cafe Carmelita is the cup of drip that thinks it's a mocha. With its caramel richness, cocoa-forward flavor, and perfect toasty finish, Cafe Carmelita is the perfect way to meet our newest roaster — and discover a new favorite!
