Grown on a lush Indonesian island, this spicy coffee is truly one of a kind. We fell in love with Sumatran coffee in 1971, and it’s been one of our most treasured offerings ever since. The taste is distinctive and unmistakable—strikingly bold and full-bodied with a muted acidity and notes of rich herbs and rustic spice.

Every espresso beverage we handcraft for you begins right here. Our master roasters coax the beans along, the heat taking them deep and dark—a recipe for caramelly sweetness so right it’s never been changed. The quest began in 1975 with a search for the perfect melding of beans and roast, ending months of intense experimentation later with the roast you’re holding in your hand. A blend of beans from Latin America and Asia/Pacific, roasted the way only we can.

Like the lush Indonesian island of its origin, this spicy coffee stands alone. Full-bodied with a smooth mouthfeel, lingering notes of dried herbs and fresh earth, and almost no acidity. Our roasters love transforming these unpredictable beans from dark coral green to tiger-orange to a rich, oily mahogany, revealing bold flavors that many of us can’t live without. Coffee from Sumatra is the foundation of our most treasured blends, and something we’ve been honored to share with you for four decades.

This is a coffee of one true love and three names. We created it just for a Seattle restaurant in 1975, naming it Jake’s Blend. And people loved it. So many, in fact, that we began hand-scooping and blending it to order in our stores, where it was known as 80/20 Blend for the recipe. The love was so strong we finally made it official, calling it Verona after the city that inspires so many. By any name, this is a thing of pure romance.
