About Ace: Ace is Ritual’s first true single-originSingle originCoffee from one traceable place — a country at the loosest, a single farm or lot at the strictest — rather than a blend of sources. “omni-roastEspresso / omni roastAn 'espresso roast' is developed further for extraction under pressure; an 'omni roast' is profiled to work for both espresso and filter from one bag..” What’s that, you ask? Well, historically we have developed roast profiles (let’s call them recipes) for each of our individual single-origin coffees based on the brew method associated with them, with most of the coffees geared toward filter roasts in our unique, lightly roasted, “let’s not get in the way of a good green coffeeGreen coffeeUnroasted coffee seeds as they are traded and shipped. Roasters buy green and roast locally; 'green buying' is the sourcing side of the craft.” style. This means most of our coffees are roasted specifically for drip or pour-over brewing methods- with the notable exception of our seasonal espresso blendBlendCoffees from multiple origins roasted or mixed together for a consistent, balanced profile year-round — the traditional backbone of espresso menus. and our “Sweet Tooth” line of single-origin espresso. These coffees are expressly earmarked and developed for espresso preparation (pressurized hot water forced through the grounds.) Being vastly different methods to prepare coffee, we haven’t been able to offer a single farm coffee that would perform amazingly as both a filter roast and an exceptional espresso – until now. The lighter roasting style we’re known for often requires more care and precision during the brewing process, but we also realize that not everyone always has the time for that. This offering can be trusted to perform admirably no matter the method or level of precision – whether a scale or a scoop, you really can’t lose. The current Ace offering is: Yacuanquer Community, Colombia Notes of: candied apple, navel orange, milk chocolate About Yacuanquer : Communities surrounding the Galeras volcano are home to some of the most beautiful coffees – the nutrient rich soil and mild climate that the volacano provides enhance the clarity and brightness of these coffees, as well as provide consistent seasonality for the producers. This community lot comes from Yacuanquer, with notes of candied apple, navel orange and milk chocolate. A sweet, sustainably sourced single-origin coffee, designed to be brewed any way you want to!
