ALL RISE TOGETHER!

 Hometown heroes Rise Against hit the stage Friday Night at Riot Fest!

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.

 

After several hours and mugs later, 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.

Context

The Rise Against Coffee Cold 8-Pack, produced by the Pacas family in the Santa Ana region of El Salvador, offers a focused look at the Sarchimor varietal. Known for its resilience and productivity, Sarchimor is a hybrid cross that often balances structural integrity with distinct cup profiles. This specific lot from Dark Matter Coffee utilizes a washed process, a technique that typically emphasizes the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean by removing the fruit pulp before drying. You can learn more about how these processing methods influence the final cup profile in our technical guide. When evaluating the tasting notes of green grape, maple, and melon, it can be helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify how these specific fruit and sugar-toned characteristics manifest in your brew. This selection highlights the consistent quality achievable through traditional washed processing in El Salvador’s high-potential coffee landscapes.
