Driftfire Dark, Ethiopia, India, and Indonesia

The Origin Story

Driftfire brings together three coffee-growing cultures across the globe. In Brazil’s Sul de Minas, estates like the Gabarra family’s combine scale with sustainable practices, producing reliable chocolate-toned coffees. Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region contributes smallholder farmers organized into cooperatives, where meticulous hand-picking and washed processing are central to their identity. From Indonesia’s Sumatra, rural communities near Lake Toba cultivate Catimor and Typica varietals using traditional wet-hulling techniques — a process that has defined the region’s bold, earthy style for generations.

This blend’s story spans three unique landscapes: Brazil’s rolling red-soil highlands, Costa Rica’s volcanic Tarrazú valleys, and the misty tropical forests surrounding Sumatra’s Lake Toba — the world’s largest volcanic lake. Each region’s altitude and climate imprint a distinct signature: Brazil’s low-acid sweetness, Tarrazú’s structured brightness, and Sumatra’s deep, spicy undertones.

Driftfire is blended to harmonize these diverse elements. Brazilian beans lay a smooth foundation, Costa Rican coffees bring lively balance, and Sumatran lots add earthy depth and syrupy weight. The result is a blend that feels like a journey — bold yet refined, connecting three continents in every cup.

Velho Camino - 250g / Wholebean

Just the smell when I opened the bag had me drooling, and the finished cup was the most delicious coffee I have had in years, and certainly the best I've ever made at home.

Vale Roam - 250g / Filter

I'm on my second single origin purchase now and they have both been delicious. Aeropress grind has been spot on, but I will probably get whole beans next so I have more options in grinding myself. Overall, amazing coffee, quick delivery and I can highly recommend.
