Archinect's Brutal Coffee introduces a Colombia Ibagué single-origin

2019-11-27T09:24:00-05:00

We’re excited to release a new varietal to our Brutal single-origin coffee lineup as we bid farewell to our Guatemala Ceiba and Brazil Yellow Diamond beans. Starting today we are now offering bags of Colombia Ibagué. This medium roast is incredibly well-balanced, with notes of chocolate, peanut, and raisin.

Ibagué is located in the Colombian Andes at 1,800 - 2,000 MASL (meters above sea level) in the center of the country. The region is famous for its perfect climate and soil for growing coffee beans. The beans are plucked and stripped of the cherries, then dry fermented for 36 hours, finally followed by a wash and dry on raised beds.

Archinect Launches Brutal Coffee

2018-12-07T12:23:00-05:00

We’re super excited to finally launch Brutal, a passion project that has been in the works for a long time.

Architects love coffee. Archinect loves coffee. So, we have made it our responsibility to source the best beans each season, offering balanced flavor profiles, with a perfect roast. Our own standards for coffee are very high, and we expect most architects will appreciate our demand for the best quality.

We are launching our new line with 2 carefully selected single source varietals – a Guatemala Ceiba, offering notes of tobacco, plum, and cane sugar; and a Brazil Yellow Diamond, with a profile of almond and dark chocolate. Both medium roasts were crafted to be excellent in a variety of preparations, so they are equally good as espresso, pour over, drip or french press.

Pick up a bag of coffee, today, at our shop, Archinect Outpost, in downtown LA’s Arts District or on our newly updated online store.
