Sailor Shanty:

“From Africa’s highlands to the far ocean’s swell,
This blend tells a tale you’ll remember well.
With spice and fruit, bold tales arise,
In every cup, a Captain’s prize.”

Whole Sailor Story:

At Old Salt Coffee, we don’t just brew coffee—we navigate new waters. Captain’s Reserve – African Blend is our latest limited voyage: a handcrafted roast forged from the finest highland beans of East Africa.

This medium roast is a union of three distinct coffees, each chosen with the precision of a seasoned Captain selecting a trusted crew:

  •     Ethiopian Yirgacheffe offers bright citrus and floral complexity.
  •     Ethiopian Sidamo adds soft spice, berry notes, and rich depth.
  •     Rwandan Arabica lends a silky texture and red fruit clarity.

Together, they produce a cup that’s as vibrant as the sunrise and as grounded as a ship at anchor. Expect bold notes of dark chocolate, layered with earthy richness and a subtle touch of dried cherry.

Every Captain’s Reserve release is a one-of-a-kind offering—rare, fleeting, and unforgettable. This African Blend was crafted for moments of reflection at dawn and bold conversation at dusk. For those who live by the compass, not the clock.

Roasted in small batches for precision and consistency, Captain’s Reserve embodies Old Salt’s commitment to excellence in every cup.

This is coffee made by Veterans—crafted for adventurers, explorers, and connoisseurs of the sea and life alike. Hoist a mug and set your course. The Captain awaits.

Captain's Review

I am just not impressed with this coffee. It seemed to not have much aroma. Also, I was expecting a more robust flavor. Not there for me.
The cup is very nice.

Skipper’s Blend

Our family has had the opportunity to sample and partake in a whole variety of coffees from all over the world. We have always been very fond of Ethiopian coffees and also Kona and a few South Pacific. This Captains Reserve blend is the best of both worlds. Yirgacheffe and Harrar Horse have always been my favorites followed by true Kona coffee. Blending with Sidamo is exceptional.

Thank you John - next Captain Reserve will be a single origin Colombian! Hope you'll like it. Still working it.

I usually only go for dark roasts but decided to take a chance on this medium roast... so glad I did! Kind of hate that it's limited edition... that I may not be able to get more but what a treat!
