Bella Donovan

Organic Whole Bean Coffee Blend

Bella Donovan is the cashmere sweater of our blends—comforting, cozy, and enveloping. A natural Ethiopian coffee with jammy berry notes brings a glimmer of fruit to the otherwise chocolate-heavy foundation. To add nuance, we roast these two coffees four different ways. The result is a blend that straddles the worlds of complexity and comfort with uncommon poise.

Blend Story

Bella Donovan

This classic is inspired by the archetypal Mocha-Java pairing. Originally, a winey natural coffee from Yemen, shipped from the Port of Mocha, blended with an earthier washed coffee from Java. Our take relies on an Ethiopian natural for fruity overtones. Roasted on the darker side for sweetness and body, Bella weathers the rigors of the automatic drip machine and is luxurious with milk or cream.

Roasting Profile

Small Batch Coffee, Fresh-Roasted Daily to Order

We employ the Japanese notion of Kaizen in our roasting practice. This idea of “good change” or “continuous improvement” drives our team to keep daily records of their tastings, always chasing better, more delicious, more consistent coffees.

We roast small batches on Loring machines around the world, so our coffee tastes not only luminous, but reliably consistent, from Tokyo to New York.
