CARBON NEUTRAL
We offset any carbon emission from this already low energy production process.
• Production of these mailers is solar-powered and uses no water, acids or bleaches. It's also 'zero waste' because all off-cuts can be put 'back in to the pot' and recycled.

Demi Drop - Half Caffeine Blend
New Half Decaf Composition. A fantastically flavorful coffee bursting with fruit forward complexity and creamy mouthfeel. This is a well crafted blend of our favorite new Sunset Decaf from Marta Montenegro in Colombia. The same producer who brought us the Rubi Marti Bourbon! And the other half is the Red Harmony from Cecelia Camacho also in Colombia.
Two wild and crazy coffees get together to bring you just the right amount of chill and zing.

At Torque we believe in buying more coffees from fewer producers and fewer origins We go deep rather than wide. We focus our coffee sourcing to work with a smaller group of like minded coffee producers who share our vision for changing the world of coffee.
Technical Info
Preparation Style: Espresso and Filter
Our approach to both sourcing and roasting is that every coffee has to be good enough to stand on its own. No blenders, no base coffees, no filler. We take that same approach to roasting and preparation methods. All of our coffees are excellent in nearly every brew method from pour over to espresso.
That being said we have our preferences and so we label our coffees with Espresso, Filter or Omni as a quick way to guide you.
Subscription Type: Modernist and Espressoist

Producer and Farm Story
Read More
This coffee project is centered in the village of Gaitania where Emmanuel Enciso is a coffee grower raised by coffee growing parents, who taught him everything about coffee. In 200 6 he had the opportunity to learn much more about processes, quality, and varieties; managing to focus his farm and several producers in the micro region on producing specialty coffees. But he had a problem in common with so many other coffee growers, they did not have the capacity to produce large quantities, because they did not have a central coffee processing center for quality processes. That is why in 2016 he began with his family to create a coffee processing center that became a strategic bridge between more than 15 villages in Gaitania and now Emmanuel and his family are processing the coffees of coffee growers throughout the area.
This coffee comes from a community of 80 coffee farms around the village of Gaitania and is a blend of Caturra and Colombia cultivars. It's a project that Forest Coffee started in this region with only one farm and now they are working with over 80 farmers in the region. Forest teaches the farmers how to do grow and process Specialty coffee so they can get out of the commodity market they had sold to for decades, on top of that Forest pays 30% above of what they would get from the Colombia federation for top rated coffees.
The process for this project coffee consists of a short washed fermentation of 24 hours in mucilage and then a laborious washing of the coffee. Afterwards it is taken to the drying patio where all the coffee is dried together in the sun. Afterward, the coffee is stabilized for 20 to 25 days before being dry milled.

Proportional Pricing
Out of the $400 billion coffee industry, a meager 5% stays where it's grown, leaving farmers with crumbs. At Torque, we're rewriting this injustice. Our radical approach ensures equity for coffee producers, shifting power dynamics.
Torque Coffees is transforming the coffee industry with Proportional Pricing©, a simple, transparent system that ensures at least 20% of the retail price of every coffee remains in the country of origin. Unlike traditional models that leave producers with scraps, Torque links their earnings directly to the coffee’s retail value, giving them a fairer share. No hidden fees, no complex formulas or giveback schemes—just clear, upfront equity for the people who grow your coffee. By reverse-engineering the supply chain, Torque is creating a fairer system where both producers and consumers know exactly how much value returns to origin.
We're breaking norms, building a fairer future. Torque Coffees reverse-engineered the chain, advocating for a balanced, equitable industry. It's time to empower those who make your coffee. Together, let's dismantle inequality in the coffee world.
Sustainability Info
Since we are all on the consumption end of things we can never get to carbon neutral without stealing the carbon positive from coffee farmers. So instead of aiming for a negative, we are striving to destroy less and be as carbon beautiful as we can.
