FOUNDERS
Smooth, Sweet, Juicy
The cup we built the roastery on. Smooth and approachable, with just enough complexity to keep the second cup interesting.
Tasting Notes: Milk chocolate, lemon, soft fruit
Origin: Single-origin Colombia (rotating producer)
Process: Washed
Roast Level: Medium
Recommended Brew: Drip, pour-over, French press, or espresso
Curated by the Portrait Coffee team, Founders highlights all the best parts of a cup of coffee: smooth, sweet, juicy, the kind of cup you reach for first thing. Inspired by late-night sips of Waffle House diner coffee, Founders is the daily drinker we built the roastery on. Milk chocolate sweetness lands first. Light lemon and soft fruit open up as the cup cools.
Whole bean or ground, roasted to order in Atlanta. Available in 310 g, 2 lb, and 5 lb.
