The "Highest Grade."
We know a lot of you have been asking for this to come back so you could revel in the earthy deliciousness you remember. Here's the honest update: sourcing those original coffees has become increasingly difficult. So in full transparency, this is a new blend we're attempting. It has a very similar profile, but comes from two different coffees, India and Ethiopia, instead of the original pairing.
Mocha Java is an ode to the oldest and most widely produced coffee blend in history, and to the rise of coffee capitalism itself, most famously the "very fine Java & Mocha" blend Hills Bros made famous in the early 1900s. We roast each origin separately at its own optimum level, then post-blend to create the marriage: earthy and chocolatey, with bright cherry fruit running through it.
Too bad Hills Bros didn't just do it right and actually make it the "highest grade." Maybe the coffee industry would be better off today if they had.
