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: Hunapú Tastes like: concord grape, peanut brittle, black tea About Hunapú: Smallholder producers on the slopes of the Agua and Acatenango volcanoes have been growing coffee for hundreds of years. Most of these families are indigenous producers, who grow the traditional variety, Bourbón, using techniques and traditions passed down from one generation to the next. Once harvested, the ripe cherries are delivered to local miller and exporter Bella Vista where they are processed in a modified washed manner, using an ecopulper to conserve the local area’s scarce water resources. The coffee is dried on raised beds under a protective covering. Each individual lot is sampled and only the best of the best get collected together to form this amazing Hunapú offering.
