About Ace: Ace is Ritual’s first true single-origin “omni-roast.” What’s that, you ask? Well, historically we have developed roast profiles (let’s call them recipes) for each of our individual single-origin coffees based on the brew method associated with them, with most of the coffees geared toward filter roasts in our unique, lightly roasted, “let’s not get in the way of a good green coffee” style. This means most of our coffees are roasted specifically for drip or pour-over brewing methods, with the notable exception of our seasonal espresso blend and our “Sweet Tooth” line of single-origin espresso. These coffees are expressly earmarked and developed for espresso preparation (pressurized hot water forced through the grounds). Being vastly different methods to prepare coffee, we haven’t been able to offer a single farm coffee that would perform amazingly as both a filter roast and an exceptional espresso – until now. The lighter roasting style we’re known for often requires more care and precision during the brewing process, but we also realize that not everyone always has the time for that. This offering can be trusted to perform admirably no matter the method or level of precision – whether a scale or a scoop, you really can’t lose. The current Ace offering is: Carrizal, Guatemala Notes of: cacao, graham cracker, black tea About Carrizal: Carrizal is located in Gualán, Zacapa, within the Sierra del Merendón mountain range. The farm sits at approximately 1,000 meters above sea level and spans around 250 manzanas. It is owned and managed by the Zelaya family. The farm focuses on rust resistant varieties, including Sarchimor, Caturra, Catimor, and San Isidro. Shade management is based primarily on nitrogen fixing Inga trees and banana plants, contributing to a diverse and resilient ecosystem. This is a complex and rich coffee, with notes of cacao, graham cracker, and black tea.
