Coffee Description
You asked for it. And we like you. So we did it. New extra dark roast.
*Note: This coffee is not the darkest roast that exists on the planet. It’s just Square One's darkest roast. It’s a touch darker than their Sasquatch, with hints of smoke. Dates, sweet orange and molasses weigh in for just that more coffee amazingness.

About Lopez Family of Nicaragua
Over a hundred years ago, Don Vicente and Angelina Lopez founded Los Papales Estate. In a rich-soiled valley high in the hills above the little town of Jinotega, north-central Nicaragua, their children and grandchildren have carried on this coffee-growing heritage. WIth their focus on biodiversity and conservation, workers’ rights, community development and sustainability, the Lopez family has made a significant impact on their little corner of the mountain.
Not only have they dedicated a sector of Los Papales Estate to forest growth, but they've also sown into their community. In collaboration with the Department of Education, they provide free school on-site for both community and workers’ children and offer employees and community members free medical clinic services and access to vaccines.

Square One Coffee
Since 2007, Square One Coffee has become a nationally known name in specialty coffee, wholesaling to quality-focused shops up and down the east coast, and opening two retail locations in Philadelphia (2012 & 2014). Owners Josh and Jess Steffy and their talented team of coffee professionals take their passion for people and coffee seriously. This means partnering with coffee producers and communities, paying premium prices for their hard work and reinvesting into those communities whenever possible. It also means paying all of their employees a living wage with opportunities to learn and grow in their craft.
