Anthropologists note Wendigo psychosis among northern tribes, where individuals in starvation believed themselves turning into the creature. Historical cases describe violent episodes in which afflicted hunters begged to be restrained or executed before harming others. Communities treated such conditions with ceremony, isolation, or in dire moments, fatal judgment.

🍫 Cocoa ✨ Maple Syrup 🍓 Fruity
🥀 Echo of the Frozen Woods

A light-medium roast alive with dark chocolate, maple, and plum, balanced by a faint apple sweetness and black tea undertones. Grown in Guatemala’s volcanic highlands between 1,500 and 2,000 MASL, this coffee draws its vigor from thin mountain air and fertile ancient soil. Washed and carefully fermented, it yields a clean, luminous cup where fruit and spice whisper together beneath the rising steam.

🔥 The Heart of the Hunger Spirit

Each sip carries the warmth of survival. Cocoa steadies the pulse, maple and plum lend sweetness to the edge, and a black tea finish lingers like breath in the cold. The Wendigo legend, born of starvation, madness, and winter’s endless appetite, reminds us that even in hunger there is a spark of endurance. This roast honors that lesson, that light must be tended or the cold will take it back.

🌲 The Fire Beneath the Ice

Stories tell of the Wendigo haunting snowbound forests, a spirit of unending craving with a heart encased in ice. Some say it guards the boundary between man and monster, testing those who wander too far into the dark. The Guatemalan highlands reflect that myth, rich soil beneath cold peaks, fire sleeping under frost. This coffee rises from that duality, warmth born of winter and spirit kindled from shadow.

🕯️ Light in the Hollow

Drink this cup when the night is long and the air feels sharp. Let the cocoa and maple guide you back to the hearth, the sweetness of life restored to balance the cold. May its heat be a small defiance against hunger, a reminder that within even the fiercest winter something still burns bright.

💫 Cryptid Spotlight 💫 Wendigo

The Wendigo walks where hunger and silence meet. In the far northern woods, its legend is not fantasy but memory—a spirit born of greed, cold, and desperation. Elders say it waits beyond the firelight, thin as smoke, patient as frost, whispering to those who stray too far alone. It is the face of hunger that learns your name before you hear it in the wind.

Great balance of chocolate and fruit tones. The maple sweetness shows up naturally, and the black tea finish keeps it light. It’s smooth, steady, and works well whether I drink it black or with a little cream. Very easy to enjoy.

This roast surprised me. The flavor is warm and layered without feeling heavy, and the finish is clean with a touch of spice. It has that calm lift I look for in a morning cup. Definitely one I’ll keep in my rotation.

Really impressed with this one. It has a clean taste with just enough richness to make it feel satisfying. I drink it black and it still has a nice hint of sweetness. Great everyday coffee with a little character to it.

This coffee tastes smooth and slightly sweet in a really comforting way. I love the chocolate notes and the little bit of fruit in the background. It feels warm and cozy, perfect for early mornings. I have already gone through half the bag.
