Experience the boldness of our Lucha Blend, our darkest roast crafted with notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and smoky undertones. Named after the Spanish word for 'fight', it combines Sumatra and South America beans for a robust flavor profile, perfect for espresso and drip coffee lovers. Embrace the intensity with every sip.

The Lucha Blend, crafted by Per'La Specialty Roasters, represents a distinct profile originating from Sumatra. While Sumatra is traditionally associated with the Giling Basah, or wet-hulled, processing method—which often imparts earthy, herbal, and spicy characteristics to the cup—this blend leans into a robust, savory spectrum. With tasting notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and smoky undertones, it offers a profile that favors depth and intensity over bright acidity.

Coffees grown at elevations between 900 and 1500 masl often develop a denser bean structure, which can contribute to the heavy body frequently found in regional offerings. When evaluating such complex, dark-toned profiles, tasters often consult the flavor wheel to better categorize the nuances between roasted, nutty, and cocoa-based descriptors. This blend serves as a classic example of how specific regional sourcing and roasting techniques can emphasize a bold, grounded experience for the drinker.
