Wayfarer Roast, Brazil, El Salvador, and India

The Origin Story

Wayfarer Roast is the work of three coffee-growing cultures. In Brazil’s Sul de Minas, estates like those of the Gabarra family produce chocolate-toned coffees with a strong focus on sustainability and biodiversity. El Salvador’s Apaneca-Ilamatepec region contributes family-run farms connected to the Blue Harvest project, where careful water stewardship and shade-grown practices are central to their work. From India’s Malabar coast, producers grow Arabica among spice plantations and tropical forest, an origin with centuries of coffee heritage yet still under appreciated in the specialty world.

This blend stretches from Brazil’s red-soil highlands to El Salvador’s volcanic slopes and India’s humid coastal hills. Minas Gerais brings gentle undulating terrain and a mild climate, Apaneca offers rich volcanic soil and high elevation, and Malabar’s monsoonal environment imparts an earthy character — three distinct terroirs converging into a single profile.

Wayfarer Roast blends these origins for balance and approachability. Brazilian coffees provide a steady chocolate base, Salvadoran beans lift the profile with gentle fruit and sweetness, and Indian lots add body and spice-like undertones. Crafted for versatility, it performs beautifully across espresso and filter, suited for daily rituals and adventurous palates alike.

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.
