Happy Medium Roast Box Set
There are no compromises when it comes to these coffees, which we’ve wrapped up in a Rebel Dog Coffee Co. gift box so you can indulge your favorite coffee lover.
The hugely popular single origin coffee from Mexico's CESMACH Cooperative is stunningly smooth, as is our 5th State Espresso Blend—with extra berry-like flavors, too. Don’t let the “Espresso” in the name stop you from enjoying this coffee, either: 5th State is delicious no matter how you brew it, but we do love it especially for its beautiful crema and how well it pairs with milk for espresso-based drinks!

The Delgado family has farmed coffee on these lands in the fertile highlands of San Juan Sacatepéquez for generations. Once a pine forest, Finca Quequezques (pronounced: keh-kehz-kehz) is now a fully integrated coffee farm and mill operation, allowing the Delgados to maintain a high level of quality control over their output, working both with a focus on tradition and sustainability.
The name “Quequezques” comes from an indigenous name for a broad-leafed plant which grows in these mountain altitudes. It’s a fitting connection between the Delgado family’s business and the land, which with its rich volcanic soil (and temperate microclimate) is generous towards the production of beautiful coffee. And, of course, where coffee is grown in the gentle shade of native forests.
Several varieties, including many heirloom coffees, are grown here under a canopy of shade trees, guided by an agroforestry system established to provide resiliency to shifting climatic patterns and enhance soil richness. Grown in balance with nature, coffee production is not only more reliable, but quality and flavor attributes are also enhanced.
Our flagship espresso blend is built to please the taste preference of all old school and new school espresso drinkers. This blend pairs wonderfully with milk and creates a beautiful crema, which is ideal for latte art, but it's also made to be absolutely delicious no matter which way you brew it!
We are currently tasting dark maple, brown butter, and blackberry in 5th State.
