Hair Bender Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee

Stumptown Coffee Roasters, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, has been roasting exemplary coffee for nearly 20 years. Committed to sourcing, roasting, and serving some of the world's finest coffee, Stumptown achieved B Corp status in 2018, striving to be a leader in sustainability and making sincere, lasting contributions to the environment, their employees, and the community.

The Stumptown Hair Bender, named after a long-shuttered beauty parlor that housed the first Stumptown location, was the very first blend introduced by Stumptown founder Duane Sorenson. The Hair Bender sign still stands in the company's headquarters, overseeing the roasting process of each batch. This complex blend features coffee from three major growing regions: Central and South America, East Africa, and Indonesia, resulting in a harmonious flavor profile of sweet citrus, milk chocolate, and caramel.

Stumptown continuously tastes this blend and its components, both on the cupping table and in espresso form, to maintain the perfect balance of flavors. The Hair Bender is Stumptown's most celebrated blend, shining no matter the brewing method, from espresso to cold brew to pour-over.

The flavor of Hair Bender relies on the coffees from Latin America, Indonesia, and Africa, with notes of sweet citrus, dark chocolate, and raisin. Stumptown's Direct Trade program is built on three principles: paying higher prices tied to quality, working with producers they know and maintaining those relationships over many years, and striving to build truly collaborative partnerships.

The brewing method, grinder, and even the water from the sink can all affect the taste in the cup. Stumptown encourages consumers to experiment with the parameters to get each coffee to taste just the way they like it. This commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation has made Stumptown a leader in the specialty coffee industry.
