Savio Wholesale

Savio is one of our core seasonal blends, named for the well-known activist and key member of the Free Speech Movement - Mario Savio. The coffees are roasted to individual profiles prior to being blended for an optimal flavor collaboration. The components of Savio change multiple times throughout the year to embrace the freshest harvests available to our roasting team.  However, the flavor profile goal remains the same - chocolate driven with a focus on sweetness; accented by a lively acidity and soft fruit flavors. In comparison to our other blends, Savio will always be the most fruit forward option. But have no fear - it still performs perfectly across every brew method and every milk and sugar addition you could dream of. The current offering is a harmonious blend of African and Central American coffees - Humure & Juan Rodriguez. We’re tasting: apple juice, orange peel, fig, cinnamon roll, brown sugar, baking spices, toffee, chocolate. 50% Humure: a washed processed coffee from the Gatsibo district in the Eastern Province of Rwanda, sourced via some of our closest partners - Sundog Trading and Baho Coffee. This is a consistently clean and classic station level blend collected from nearly 1500 smallholder farmers throughout the area.  50% Juan Rodriguez: a washed processed coffee from Mataquescuintla, Guatemala. 2023 marks our second year sourcing this specific coffee for Savio, and we’re now purchasing Don Juan’s entire harvest. He’s an active member of the Cafe Colis Resistencia group that has established a peaceful resistance against an illegal Canadian-owned mining operation in their backyards.
