Marigold Coffee Roaster

Marigold Coffee is a small business with a small platform but we have big feelings about the direction this country is going.

It’s not a business as usual kind of moment. We made the decision as a team to be closed May 1st (with pay) to be in solidarity with the many other workers, students, families and businesses who are choosing to participate in some way on this day.

Because Marigold doesn’t currently operate a retail location the decision to close tomorrow (May 1st) was a relatively easy one.

To our fellow small business partners and friends who are staying open because closing simply isn’t an option in this tough economic climate, we love ya and 100% understand. We’re rooting for you and want you to thrive and survive these difficult times. To anyone working tomorrow who would rather strike but can’t risk their livelihood, we see you too!

To our loyal and beloved customers, please consider spending your money tomorrow locally with other small businesses to show support for community. Please consider using cash.

If you were planning on buying coffee from us on Friday (May 1st) please consider buying it today or Saturday instead. The idea is to disrupt financial transactions as much as possible on May Day and to send a message that we have collective power.

How participate in democracy and community is a practice. This day of action might start off small and with some wobbles, but it’s a start.

Happy May Day! Be safe, choose love and take care of each other!

Introducing a truly unique, one of a kind coffee we’ll have for just a short time.

If you’re looking for a special gift for the coffee nerd in your life (maybe the nerd is you) then this is the coffee to splurge on!

And it just so happens that the tasting notes are beautifully coordinated with a nod to wintery delights.

Aromas of juniper, candy cane and cola!

REGION: Quindio, Colombia
PROCESS: washed - sequential carbonic maceration.

An absolutely stunning cup profile that has great clarity of flavor and a very “clean” finish.

How is it processed? While still technically a washed coffee, this is not your typical process. Coffee cherries from  are harvested and soaked in water for 4 hours to clean the exterior of the fruit, sort out floaters and hydrate the fruit. The fruit is then put into an anaerobic environment to undergo the initial carbonic macerated fermentation, then removed from the tank and depulped. The mucilage-covered coffee is then submerged in water for final washed processing.

About the farm: Finca Campo Hermoso has been in Edwin Norena’s family for over 30 years. After his father passed away, Edwin began developing the farm for unique specialty coffees. Edwin has become a prominent innovator for Colombian specialty coffees. In addition to overseeing his farm, Edwin is a Q Grader and processor (similar to being a wine sommelier, but for coffee) and Cup of Excellence judge.
