Story
This blend was designed for those that are seeking adventure, a coffee that will keep them striving onward and upward to whatever challenges the day brings. This coffee has a flavor profile of vibrant, sweet and fruity notes, anchored in a soft pleasing acidity, like ripe raspberries. Bright is a blend of the latest Eastern Africans we have in house, mostly Ethiopian and a little bit of Kenyan coffees. This is a staff favorite, the one we usually bring home on the weekends to accompany us on our escapades.

Kuma means bear in Japanese. The founder of the company spent time in Japan before moving back to the states and adopting a big shaggy dog that looked like a bear, so they named it Kuma. Years later came the coffee company and they named it after their dog.
Kuma Coffee started as a guy roasting coffee in his garage in Seattle, Washington. A guy with a passion to find coffee that tasted excellent, roast it very carefully, and get that coffee into people's hands. It was not about how shiny the package was, it was about how delicious the coffee inside it tasted.

This is an excellent coffee. I know that it says it's their Red Bear Espresso blend, but I made this as a v60 pourover. The coffee is wonderfully intricate - bright without being overly bitter and an excellent spiced aftertaste. I would gladly order this again!

This is basically the same coffee experience as the Red Bear espresso, which is my go to coffee for Italian stove top pots.
