Coffee Description
Balanced, friendly, crowd-pleasing - what we’d give you if you asked for “a good cup of coffee.”
This special release is an homage to one of our longest-standing relationships: Equation Coffee. Knowing that moving larger volumes of coffee is more impactful to the farmers than buying exclusive, limited, high-end lots, we reached out to Equation last year with the intention of sourcing one of their regional macrolots for our blends, Archimedes, Tulgey Wood, and Nocte Dulce. Upon tasting the Regionals from Huila and Tolima, we were blown away at their quality and confident that they could stand alone as single-origin offerings. And that is exactly what we set out to do. This project is several months in the making, and we’re happy to present to you a no-frills, friendly, feel-good, crowd-pleasing medium roast of Equation’s single-origin macrolot. Thank you for joining us in partnering with Equation and their campaign.

Penstock Coffee Roasters
We source as much of our coffee as direct as possible. Currently, farm direct coffee accounts for all our Central and most of our South American coffees or about 85% of the coffee we roast. Direct for us means we select the lot and we determine the price, quantity, and quality of the lot directly with the farm or mill owner. For the other 15%, we rely on certified coffee (Organic, Fair Trade, Bird Friendly, Rainforest Alliance, etc.) which guarantees a minimum wage and minimum sustainability, or we purchase stellar cupping lots, i.e., game changing coffee in terms of taste, from mills who are innovative in processing, or from growers whom we intend or hope to purchase directly.
