Rise Against

ALL RISE TOGETHER!

We're celebrating hometown heroes Rise Against playing Riot Fest this weekend!

The band's bassist Joe Principe is a long-time DMC fan and fellow coffee enthusiast! He came by the roastery for a coffee selection tasting with the crew, tasting through a spread of origins and processes.

We decided to go with a washed Sarchimor from El Salvador that comes from several farms in the Santa Ana region, near the Cafe Tuxpal mill. This coffee has surprised us with pops of acidity coming through, showing notes of melon and green grape in the cup! The Pacas Family at Cafe Tuxpal is dedicated to perfecting their fermentation methods, fine-tuning their systems and equipment each year to improve cup quality. 

$2 per bag will go to benefit Rise Against's ART (All Rise Together) project, created by the band to highlight the DIY roots of the punk scene and bring people together during divided times.

Produced by the Pacas family in the Santa Ana region of El Salvador, Rise Against is a washed-process offering from Dark Matter Coffee. This specific lot features the Sarchimor varietal, a hybrid known for its resilience and productivity. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clean, bright acidity and ability to highlight the inherent characteristics of the bean, the specific profile of this coffee presents notes of green grape, maple, and melon.

To better understand how the processing methods influence the final cup, it is helpful to consider how the removal of the fruit before drying typically results in a more focused, transparent expression of the terroir. For those looking to further explore the nuances of these descriptors, referencing a flavor wheel can provide a structured way to identify and categorize the complex interplay between the sweetness of maple and the crisp, fruit-forward qualities found in this Salvadoran selection.
