Cariño is a seasonally-updated espresso blend, with honey-processed coffees as a primary component. Our Apex Series answer to espresso: creamy, nutty, and sweet with vibrant blackcurrant and black cherry notes. Balanced and expressive on its own, it shines in milk with a velvety texture and lingering floral finish.
Unlike traditional "washed" coffee processing, in which all the fruit is removed from the coffee bean before fermentation and drying, honey processing involves leaving some of that fruit on the bean, allowing it to ferment and dry that way and resulting in a sweet, juicy coffee.

Quality is fundamental to Higher Grounds' mission, and our Apex Series exemplifies this commitment best. Holding up our Apex coffees is our opportunity to hold up the farmers as well. While roasters relish the opportunity to showcase their skills by roasting and cupping these unique and exquisite coffees, the true mission of the Apex Series lies in honoring our Farmer Partners. Each bag prominently features the names of our Farmer Partners, highlighting our responsibility and privilege to elevate these artisans. Their expertise, often honed over multiple generations, is crucial to the exceptional coffee we produce together. Every cup is as much their creation as it is ours.
