ASCENT by Inheritance
ASCENT is a 50/50 blend of washed Kenya and natural Ethiopia. The Kenya brings structure, citrus acidity and a clean finish; the Ethiopia brings fruit, florals and sweetness. Together they make a cup that is brighter than a classic espresso blend without losing body.
Because we buy at the top of each harvest, the specific lots behind those two halves rotate through the year. The ratio does not, and neither does the character we are building toward. If you want to know exactly what is in the bag you have, the roast date on the label will tell us, and we will tell you.
Well-balanced for every brew method, though we prefer it as espresso. It pairs well with milk and with subtle flavors like vanilla and chocolate.
We taste: burnt sugar, citrus fruit, and juicy sweets.
Financial Transparency
What We Paid for This Coffee
Specialty coffee only works if the people who grow it are paid well. Here is what this lot cost, in the open.
Cup Score
What is this
Graded on the 100 point specialty scale. Anything at 80 or above qualifies as specialty coffee. Coffees above 90 are rare air, and we price and roast them with that respect.
Curiosity & Transparency
We value the consistent pursuit and sharing of knowledge. We view coffee as a cultural exchange. We hope that engaging with Inheritance helps people to lead a fuller life by exposing them to unique cultural experiences that we can bond with each other over. We aren't scared of showing what we do honestly because we invest in quality and excellence. We have confidence in what we do because we are doing it with integrity. We believe that it is always best to tell the truth - what we do is all out on the table.
