A Winter Coffee Made for the Quietest Moments

There’s a moment every winter morning when the world feels still — before the kettle boils, before the sun lifts over the ridge, before the day begins in earnest. Sugar Hollow Blend was created for that moment.

This returning seasonal favorite brings together a washed Mexican coffee and a crowd‑beloved Worka from Ethiopia, forming a cup that’s sturdy enough for frosty mornings yet sweet enough to warm your soul. With tasting notes of sugar plum, maple, and brown sugar, Sugar Hollow is our ode to winter: comforting, balanced, and quietly hopeful.

Whether you’re brewing at home, gearing up for a cold‑weather hike, or easing into a slow morning ritual, this blend meets you right where you are.

What Makes Sugar Hollow Blend Special

Sugar Hollow is built on contrast: structure and sweetness, depth and brightness, winter chill and warm comfort.

• The washed Mexican component brings strength, backbone, and a clean sweetness.

• The anaerobic natural Ethiopian Worka adds fruit, lift, and a candy‑sweet finish.

Together, they create a cup that’s perfect for winter brewing

Flavor Notes You’ll Taste in Every Cup

Sugar Plum

Soft, fruit‑forward sweetness that deepens as the cup cools.

Maple

Warm, syrupy richness that anchors the blend and gives it a cozy, winter‑ready profile.

Brown Sugar

A mellow sweetness that lingers, tying everything together with a smooth finish.

The Story Behind Sugar Hollow

Sugar Hollow is more than a blend — it’s a place.

Nestled where Albemarle County leans into the Blue Ridge, Sugar Hollow is a long, quiet valley shaped by cold water, ridgelines, and the reservoir that keeps Charlottesville’s taps running. At the end of the road, the trail splits: one way toward Blue Hole and its cold‑water plunge, the other along the creek toward a string of tumbling waterfalls.

It’s a familiar spot for weekend hikes, bank fishing, and wandering through a landscape that feels unmistakably Virginia. It’s also the inspiration behind this blend — a reminder that even in the coldest months, there’s beauty, stillness, and the promise of warmer days ahead.

Fun fact: the dam scene in Evan Almighty was filmed right here, giving Sugar Hollow its brief Hollywood cameo.
