Highwire earns its name honestly: dry a hair too far and the signature blackcurrant note collapses into plain sourness, which is why this is the roast our head roaster pulls test batches on most often before committing a full drum run.

High, bright acidity, a tomato-leaf edge, a long finish. If you found Kestrel Ridge too delicate, this is the coffee we’d point you toward instead.
