The Aha Mystery · this rotation
Bourbon, Caturra, Pacas and friends, naturally processed on raised beds in Marcala. Strawberry-lemonade and plum, a little rhubarb, a little allspice, from a co-op that funds a school with its coffee sales.
Roasted to order · ships in the first week
Small-batch roasted in Bend, Oregon — a fresh roast every other week, and only three of us who ever run the roaster.
Hush Hush started with friends gathering for coffee outside. We select coffees worth making a little room for — wherever you drink yours.
From the photo collection
Our bags carry photographs from the life around Hush Hush. These are a few of those moments.
A little Nomadic Café, hosted on the riverfront. This was taken as we help other people run nomadic cafes all over the world.
This was the first of three events run by Michael. We scouted some very beautiful spots and invited people out, and we thought this was cool to show the start of the morning on the bag.
The photograph on your bag may be different.
Why we chose it
The Aha Mystery is the rotating seat in the lineup — a coffee we pick for interest and quality, roasted in small batches at the end of the month. This rotation is the COMSA Reserva Natural from Marcala, Honduras: seven varieties from an organic co-op, dried whole in the cherry, which is where all that berry comes from.
