How to Fill Your Mug



In the near future, Evocation will have a fully functioning e-commerce website, complete with a trendy layout, stylish colors and mouth-watering pictures. In the meantime, however, we can process orders through that timeless classic, email. Simply choose a coffee from our current offerings, send your order and address to roman@evocationcoffee.com, and we'll send you a paypal invoice. It's so simple an eye-twitching, nose-flaring caffeine junkie could do it.

All of our coffees are roasted to order.



Our Current Offerings:




Ethiopian Harrar Ayinage Single Origin Espresso - $14.50
Sweet honey, a snappy acidity and a flavor that screams blueberries and apricots all add up to a one amazing espresso. Dry chocolate fuses with sweet orange in the aftertaste and a subtle nuttiness hums in the background of the entire sip. Low brew temperatures maximize the blueberries while warmer temperatures compliment the chocolate.


Guatemala Trapachitos - $13.50
Trapachitos is a community of Ixil Indians who, upon losing most of their possessions after a 36-year civil war, banded together to purchase coffee growing land. The goal of Trapichitos' coffee project is to produce coffee of the highest quality in order to earn a reasonable return on their hard work. The coffee is passive organic, handpicked, hand-sorted for defect, and sun dried on raised wooden racks. Hints of clove interlace with floral nuances to form a gratifyingly amiable cup of coffee. Carmel and vanilla also weave in and out of the picture and linger in the aftertaste. Itʼs thick, creamy, and ready to wrap you in its countless layers of complex voluptuousness.


Ethiopian Harrar Ayinage - $14.50
A classic, full-natural coffee from the Ayinage region of Harrar, 178 miles west of Dire Dewa. Juicy blueberries, subtle walnuts, and a milk chocolate aftertaste are carried beautifully by a thick body and crisp, apple-like acidity. Shorter brewing times, finer
grinds, and higher dosages bring out sweet orange nuances.


Fair Trade Organic El Salvador Jabali - $13.50
This coffee is from the cooperative Produccion Agropecuaria, which is comprised of 146 members, 12 of which are women. Farmers lovingly grow 90% bourbon and 10% Pacas varietals at altitudes above 5,500 feet. In the cup, cinnamon and baked apples are accentuated by a bright, tangy acidity, while allusions of maple syrup spontaneously drift in and out as it cools. Paper filters capitalize on subdued semi-sweet chocolate notes, almost making them a solo-act. That's definitely not a bad thing, though.
