The Artery Community Roasters - Hale

This coffee is named after Hale Zukas, a legendary disability rights advocate, barrier breaker and general badass. 

The sledgehammer icon for this coffee is representative of Zukas’ earliest targets, which were physical barriers around Berkeley. He started a movement in which disability warriors would go out at night and create “curb cuts” on sidewalks using sledgehammers. Curb cuts would eventually become the norm for cities around the world. 

And we picked a unique and vibrant Parainema coffee from Audeli Vasquez to honor Hale and the incredible legacy he represents.

Parainema is a coffee hybrid from Honduras known for bright, complex flavors often featuring citrus, tropical fruit, and tea-like notes. It gained in popularity after the varietal was used for the winning 2015 Cup of Excellence coffee.
