Fresh roasts from roasters around the world
Please welcome our latest washed gesha, Finca Las Delicias! We snuck this coffee into our March coffee subscription, and now it's available to everyone, along with a few rested bags from March 30. We love this classic gesha's stone fruit, earl grey, and berry profile, and we'd describe the flavors as even more "ripe" than the typical notion of a washed gesha. Jesus Angel Lopez produced this coffee, as well as 2023 Prodigal legend Llano Redondo. Three generations on, he's been working the land for 14 years along with his father. They only produce washed coffees, which works well for Prodigal's tastes! After picking only ripe cherries, the coffee was density sorted, pulped, and fermented in tanks for just 24-hours. Following washing, the coffee then dried over 15-20 days. Make sure to check that the roast date you've selected is what you're looking for — if there is an "upcoming roast" for this coffee, the upcoming roast date is listed under the tasting notes at the top of this product page. Please read our shipping info page!

A MYSTERIOUS VARIETY SEPARATION FROM THE RODRIGUEZ FAMILYAbout a decade ago, mysterious coffee trees were discovered on the Rodriguez family farms. The origin was unknown, but genetic testing later revealed a combination of Ethiopian Landrace and Bourbon. Since then, the family has carefully propagated these trees across their farms, recognized for producing notably larger cherries. The result is a coffee of remarkable sweetness and layered complexity, carried by a vibrant, tropical acidity and a cup profile that expresses notes of Meyer lemon, cane sugar, and pomelo.
This is our second year purchasing coffee from Shreedev and Sushmita Hulikere, via our friends at Osito Coffee. Shreedev and Sushmita manage Hulikere Estate, a sprawling 100 hectare farm, with over 100 year-round employees. This is a big deal: positions like a coffee picker, for example, tend to be a seasonal labor force, and by offering more stable work, Hulikere has a base of a very skilled team that knows what it takes to produce higher quality coffee. Hulikere Estate is also a part of the KaadKaapi collective, which focuses on integrating the systems of coffee production alongside the natural environment. To put it more clearly: these producers prioritize the health of their farmland and forests before coffee cultivation. They believe that, in the face of our shared climate crisis, conservation of local biodiversity should be the primary goal, using coffee as a tool for that care. All coffee at Hulikere is hand-picked and processed within the same day. Processing techniques include float removal, disc pulping, natural fermentation, and meticulous drying in clay brick yards. This is a massive feat, thanks to their year-round workers, that contributes to the impressive quality of their coffee. We selected this coffee to continue showcasing Hulikere Estate, as well as highlight the consistency of coffee from Chikmagalur, India. Over the last 3 years, we’ve purchased many coffees from India, and washed lots like this one remind us of what makes India’s terroir so special. This coffee has complex nutty and umami notes of sesame and pistachio, a caramel-like sweetness/finish, and lingering notes of dried mango and baking spices.
Grown by smallholder farmers and processed at the Hafi washing station, this coffee travels to us from a very remote part of Burundi's highlands. Perfect for springtime, cherry dominates the cup in aroma and taste with a mild floral undertone. Look for additional notes of persimmon and toffee with a coating mouthfeel.
Enrique’s farm Finca Chelín is renowned for his high-quality lots, ranging in multitudes of experimental ferments of high cost and quality varietals. Cherries are picked very ripe (dark red - purple, ideally around 26°Brix). The Black Honey tends to have more notes of ripe fruits, figs, dark berries, and an enhanced malic acidity.

Tasting Notes: Lavender, Tangerine, Tea-like Origin: Ethiopia - Gedeb Farm/Co-op: Chelbasa One Washing Station Process: Washed Elevation: 1950-2200m Varietal: Korume, Wolisho Sourced By: Coffee Quest From our import: The Chelbesa Washed Lot is produced at the Chelbesa One Washing Station in the Gedeb Zone, Ethiopia (Chelbesa is the “kebele”), and managed by our partners SNAP Specialty Coffee. The approximately 1,000 farmers that deliver cherry to this washing station, come from the region and have between 2 and 3 Ha of land sitting at an elevation of between 1,950 – 2,200 m.a.s.l. This lot consists of the Ethiopian Heirloom varieties Korume and Wolisho. Once the cherries arrive at the Chelbesa One Washing Station, they are placed in water for sorting and removing of floaters. The cherries are then de-pulped and left to dry ferment in tanks for 2-3 days, to be later washed and placed to dry on raised beds. To ensure an even drying, the parchment is constantly moved each day, taking 7-10 days, depending on the weather, until reaching the desired humidity.

WELCOME THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING WITH NEW MOONAs temperatures warm and Michigan thaws after a long winter, spring enters the picture with its bounty of fresh florals and crisp air. To pair with the welcoming of a new season, New Moon showcases juicy florality and delicate stone fruit. A pairing reminiscent of lengthening days and bright sunlight. Thoughtfully blended, Ejo Heza from Rwanda in tandem with Juan Angel’s field blend of Pacas and Bourbon delivers a lively awakening after the doldrums of winter, in a cup brimming with tasting notes of apricot jam, rhubarb, and peony.
A WONDERFULLY COMPLEX GEISHA FROM A YOUNG PRODUCER For years, we have marveled at the quality coming from Yulisa Carhuallocllo, and awaiting the first opportunity for her coffee to grace our menu has been a lesson in patience. At just 26 years old, Yulisa placed 7th in the Peru Cup of Excellence last year with a Geisha lot, and her continued success in young producer competitions has helped to put her coffee on the map. Managing her 3 hectare biodiverse farm named La Miel where honeybees aid in pollination, Yulisa primarily cultivates Geisha, Caturra, and Bourbon that adorn steep slopes. Cherries are floated before beginning an 18-hour in-cherry fermentation, depulped, and fermented for an additional 36 hours before drying on African beds for 25-30 days. Yulisa's Geisha is expressive with notes of pomelo, chamomile, and mandarin.
AN EXPRESSIVE ANAEROBIC YELLOW CATURRA FROM THE PRENTICE FAMILYMadcap has partnered with husband and wife duo Ellen and Stuart Prentice of Finca de Dios since 2009. Ellen inherited the farm from her father in the early 1970’s, falling in love with the coffee growing process and converting more land to coffee production. Today, with the help of their daughter Ashley, the Prentice family oversees a 19-hectare farm encompassing a multitude of microclimates. While Ellen handles coffee growing & processing with her studies in agronomy, Stuart continues to provide innovative upgrades to the farm, and Ashley focuses on relationship management. As the Prentices have continued to explore alternative processing methods, we were able to cup our first offering of anaerobically processed Yellow Caturra, immediately falling in love with its tropical yellow fruit profile.
In a market with no shortage of exotic coffee, cuppings highlighted by traditional varieties feel special. Esmérita's field blend of Caturra, Typica, and Bourbon is an expression of what is possible with meticulous practices. It's exceedingly rare to connect with producers who manage the entire harvest themselves, but Esmérita does so without the aid of pickers on her farm. Intense geography limits mobility, so fermentation begins in-cherry, tying off day lots in plastic sacks until they can be depulped, washed, and dried. Brief in-cherry fermentation produces a lot that shines with intense florality and juicy acidity highlighted by notes of guava, lychee, and violet.

Cherries are floated before beginning an 18 hour in-cherry fermentation, depulped, and fermented for an additional 36 hours before drying on African beds for 25-30 days.

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR MORNING WITH THIS LATE WINTER BLEND When creating seasonal blends like Lake Effect, we aim to capture the feelings and flavors of the season itself, highlighting the beauty found within its elements. In the dead of Midwest winters, brief glimpses of sunshine remind us that spring isn’t too far off. Lake Effect is inspired by these warm, hopeful moments offering a welcome contrast to the doldrums of winter. Lake Effect features a harmony of two African components that come together as something greater than their parts. Karinga AA from Thika District, Kiambu County in Kenya is thoughtfully blended with Tamrat Alemayew from Gedeo, Gedeb in Ethiopia, delivering bright citrus and punchy stone fruit anchored by delicate florality. The cup shines with notes of blood orange, lemon curd, and apricot.
A VIBRANT EMBODIMENT OF COFFEE FROM GEDEBHigh up at 1800-2100 meters above sea level, heirloom coffee cherries mature slowly in the clay loam soils of the Gedeb district of Ethiopia. Once perfectly ripened, cherries are picked and processed by the Tamrat Alemayew washing station, owned and operated by the Moplaco Trading Company. Moplaco is owned by fourth generation coffee professional Heleanna Georgalis, a producer we’ve had the pleasure of contracting coffee from on past Madcap menus. Moplaco was started in 1972 by Heleanna’s father Yiannis, and has since expanded exponentially, with a reputation for upholding the benchmark of expert standards in milling and exportation. Coffees from Gedeb are renowned for their florality and complexity, and Tamrat Alemayew’s washed heirloom coffee is a fantastic representation of the type of quality we get excited to see from this area. Savor notes of bright lime candy, tangerine, and honeysuckle in the final cup.

Wilmar Castillo's coffee story began when he was just six years old, accompanying his father and his three older brothers while they worked on various coffee farms throughout the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala. The years that followed were filled with a lot of hard work, but what Wilmar remembers most vividly from that time is his father's passion for coffee—and his own budding desire to propel that legacy forward. About 15 years ago, Wilmar convinced his family to move to a valley called Hoja Blanca, where he now manages a gorgeous farm whose name, Vista Al Bosque, means 'overlooking the forest.' With two of his brothers' farms now on either side of his own, Wilmar is continuing to write new pages in the Castillo family coffee story, and we are thrilled to recount his Gesha chapter with you once again.

Juicy and complex. Tasting tropical like papaya, citrus, and candy. Winey with a long aftertaste. The cherries are harvested at 20+ brix. Then the coffee is sent from Jutiapa to Antigua to process to Finca Gascón. Felipe Contreras from Finca Gascón then processes it on a 1,000-liter inox tank, and inoculates the fermentation with lactic bacteria isolated from the same cherry. The inox tank is closed to create an anaerobic environment. It then ferments for 72 hours and sun dries as natural for 30 days. Coffea Diversa Suchitan is a collaborative effort undertaken by Jose Padilla and Gonzalo Hernandez.
