November Feature

Benefiting OSD

We have partnered with Fortitude Strength and Conditioning / CrossFit Strive to raise funds and awareness for OSD. Fortitude and Strive are veteran-owned gyms focused on building up the whole person through community and fitness. Their founder, Athan, helped us build up a rocking new blend of coffee for a good cause; OSD.

OSD is a Veteran Support Ecosystem™ enhancing lives through community engagement. Since 2010, OSD has enabled over 1,000,000 veterans, active-military and their family members to thrive through award-winning programs emphasizing Social Connectivity, Professional Development and Community Service.

Papua New Guinea (12 oz)

Regular price $13.00 Sale

Our AA Arokara comes from the Arokara Cooperative in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea.

In the last 10 to 15 years, the plantations have been returned to the ownership and management of their original landowner groups, who do not use any chemicals or fertilizers in the production process. The cherry is hand picked by the whole group (or clan, as they're called locally) and then pulped on the same day and fermented in cement vats for 36 hours.

After the fermentation process, the coffee is washed with fresh mountain stream water from the nearby Aru River and then sun dried until it reaches the nice, even blueish color that coffees from the area are known for. The drying process can take between seven and 12 days.

Coffees from Papua New Guinea are revered for their interesting acidity and high variety. The country itself is unique in its mountainous topography and the incredible cultural diversity of its thousands of indigenous tribes. With an increased introduction of updated processing methods, these already-incredible coffees continue to develop in quality and consistency.

Cupping notes: Dark chocolate, plum, earthy; creamy body, winey acidity.

We Pledge 1% for the Planet

We are excited to announce a new annual commitment to 1% for the Planet! More on how it came about and what it means from Progress partner James.

"Years ago I worked with a local nonprofit here in Austin, TX. Through that work, I was able to see how Patagonia Grants and 1% for the Planet empowered their representatives to take action locally.
I've eyed their program(s) since and am beyond excited to announce our commitment to 1% for the Planet.
What does that mean? That means that we commit 1% of annual sales to be donated to support environmental programs. Best part, we get to choose a nonprofit partner for those funds. More on that to come, but for now, know that YOUR purchases will support nonprofits doing big things!"

Small Batch Roasting

Zero automation means we never step away from your coffee. We roast in small batches with special care given to each step of the process.

Over a Decade of Coffee in Austin

Progress started as a cafe in east Austin over ten years ago; long before mid- or high-rises dotted the sky. We started roasting coffee as a way to control the quality of our offerings. We've since moved on from that space but continue to apply the same high standards to the coffee we roast.
