Coffee Description
This selection is both sugary sweet and layered in complexity–two competing characteristics in coffee roasting. It’s nice when you get your cake and you get to eat it! Creativa #21 coats the palate and tongue with a syrupy body and pervasive black cherry note that appeals to the most traditional drinkers. Yet lying underneath & increasingly unveiled in the finish is effervescent watermelon candy. In between the two: juicy orange that morphs into toasted sugar and lemon, like some fancy cocktail in a big city.

About Felipe Sardi in collaboration with of Panama
Felipe oversees quality at each of the Equation farms: La Palma y El Tucán and DelAgua in Colombia; and Creativa in Panama. We first partnered with Equation in 2017, lured by their impeccable quality, only made sweeter by ethical practices, charitable hearts, and interests in sustainable farming. Lot #21, La Llarona, belongs to Lourdes Yanguez and is a fifty-year-old farm of one hundred hectares in Renacimiento. In addition to 80,000 Catuai and Caturra coffee trees, La Llorona grows fruits, vegetables, and cattle.

Voltage Coffee Project
The first chapter of Voltage Coffee began at 114 West Oak Street in 2014. The goal was to combine our love for the city and good coffee in a unique cafe on the Denton Square - Some place warm & inviting, a coffee shop for Dentonites to call their own.
Roughly a year after opening the doors at West Oak, we started down the path of roasting our own coffees. We focused on forging relationships with hard-working farmers across the globe that pushed the boundaries of biodiversity, business ethics, and flavor innovation. Though we have since rebranded under the Voltage Coffee moniker, our initial mission remains the same – Explore the experimental frontier of coffee and bridge the gap from farm to cup, building trust and friendships along the way.
With a few years of shop ops & roasting under our belt, we were ready to open our second & third concepts - Kimzey's and Trinity Street. One was a cafe with character inspired by Olde English cottages - The other sought to bring third wave coffee and cocktails to the hardworking people of small town Texas. Our vision is to open unique brands in every city we venture into, and we're grateful that the communities of Argyle & Decatur have welcomed us as their own.
In 2020, we moved our roasting equipment and offices to Decatur at the Roastaurant. Now, at the dawn of 2022, we've rebranded West Oak Coffee Roasting to exist under the name of our parent brand, Voltage Coffee. Our hope is that Voltage be known as the undercurrent of quality & stamp of approval on every project we touch - whether it's a bag of coffee or a new cafe concept.
We collaborate with farmers, roast coffee, and open unique concepts — All with the sole focus of creating community.
