Equator gives back to our local and global communities by contributing one dollar for each bag of B’Cause Blend sold to organizations we love. Now through the end of April, donations are being collected for World Central Kitchen, a food preparation, service and operations non-profit founded by Chef José Andrés. Last year they responded to 13 disasters by offering a hot plate of food when it's needed most. In the upheaval surrounding COVID-19, World Central Kitchen has been at the forefront of the response, helping those in need in California and across the United States.

B’Cause Blend was inspired by the fruit-forward flavor characteristics found in traditional Mocha Java-style blends. The foundation of this blend a dried-in- the-fruit natural processed coffee we refer to as Ethiopia Ardi. We source this coffee form a supplier that combines small, intensely fruity lots from the Gugi and Sidama growing regions. The Ardi contributes a foundation of berry-like fruit to the blend. This component is complimented by two washed coffees, one from Kenya and the other from the Antioquia region in Colombia. The bright and assertive Kenyan coffee helps bring out the delicious fruit flavors in the blend, while the smooth and spicy Colombia coffee adds notes of chocolate and provides balance. The roast profile and solidly medium roast degree are designed to highlight fruit flavors and caramel-like sweetness.
