Cartel Coffee Lab

CONGRATULATIONS to our incredible production team for earning SILVER at the Global Coffee Awards for both Ready to Drink Overall for our Cold Brew, and Ready to Drink Blend for our Sonoran Standard Cold Brew.

We also received honorable mentions for our Finca La Reserva Anaerobic Honey in the Filter: Single Origin Experimental.

Our production team is the silent engine behind our company- they’re always working as a cohesive team to tweak and fine tune every coffee that comes through our facility. The team knows ball- and they work together beautifully to show our customers what Cartel is capable of.

We are so proud of them and all the team members who’ve dedicated so much to making this coffee what it is.

🌞New Single Origin: Kenya Kirinyaga Kiangoi AA🌞

This washed lot comes to us via Kiangoi Washing Station in Kirinyaga County, Kenya. Kiangoi Washing Station lies between Nairobi and Mount Kenya, whose glaciers feed (among others) the Nyamindi River, which is the main source of water for the washing station itself and the surrounding community. Kirinyaga’s many glacier-fed rivers also help cool the surrounding areas, giving the farms in the county temperatures between 55 - 77F, privileged weather compared to other coffee-growing areas in Africa.

Farms in this region are surrounded by forests of native trees where wild animals such as elephants and buffalos live. Local coffee producers use fences strategically along their farm perimeters to protect their crops and minimize contact with potentially dangerous fauna.

The Kenyan government has prohibited logging and hunting in the area and producers are very respectful of these rules.

Fall drinks have landed! 🍁 And while it might still feel like the seventh circle of hell outside, we’ve concocted the perfect fall flavors with a refreshing twist for these last few scorching months 🔥

Grab a crisp pomegranate ginger tonic, our classic twist, the Pumpkin CCL, or a warm Smoky Maple Hojicha (roasted mature green tea) Latte for a cozy day.

Available now at all locations!
