Coffee Description
With high elevations, diverse microclimates, high-quality soil, and varieties of Caturra, Bourbon, and Catimor, we got notes of orange zest, cashew, and cinnamon streusel. Ismael began his profession nearly twelve years ago and has been around coffee production his entire life. We are thrilled to work with Ismael and the producers of Namballe this season, offering the finest coffees of Cajamarca to all. (source: Red Fox)

Dapper & Wise
In 2013, Insomnia's owners Evan Aldrete and Tyler Geel launched Dapper & Wise as a tasting room and roasting facility in Portland's Western suburbs, and by 2014, as a wholesaler as well.
Based out of Hillsboro, Oregon, Evan and Tyler work with a stellar team, all of whom are dedicated to the values that undergird Dapper & Wise: “We want people to walk through our doors and feel welcome. We want people to taste our coffee and be impressed and inspired. We want the coffee we roast to exemplify the hard work of the producers that grow it.”
