Goshen Coffee's Founders is a tribute to the innovators who pushed coffee processing into uncharted territory. This blend pulls together three distinct coffees—each processed differently, each from a different origin—to create a cup that challenges what you think coffee can taste like. It's complex, it's bold, and it's proof that the best coffees come from farmers and roasters willing to experiment.
Tasting Notes
Expect layers: tropical fruit, wine-like fermentation notes, and unexpected florals that shift as the cup cools. The body is syrupy and full, with a lively acidity that keeps things bright. The finish lingers, leaving behind hints of berry compote and earthy spice. This isn't a daily driver—it's a conversation starter, a coffee that rewards attention and an open mind.
Brew Methods
Founders shines brightest in methods that highlight clarity and complexity. Pour over (V60, Chemex) brings out the delicate fermentation notes and fruit-forward character. French press amplifies the body and rounds out the wilder edges. If you're pulling espresso, expect concentrated berry and wine notes—pair it with sparkling water to fully appreciate the profile. Avoid over-extraction; this coffee's nuance can turn muddy if pushed too hard.
