The inspiration for this blend is the Bandit Queen Belle Starr. Born in Carthage, MO and setting up shop in Ft Smith, AR; she was known for her smooth but fierce demeanor. This coffee is very smooth, so we think that fits! The coffee cherries are processed with a very unique technique. Harvested right at the beginning of monsoon season, the coffee cherries are left out in the elements. Essentially “washing” the beans several times. This lends itself towards a naturally low acid, and smooth brew.
