This past Tuesday we paid a visit to The Ladders HQ for an Office Coffee Tasting, featuring Stumptown. The tasting was split between their two offices, one on Hudson and the other on Varick. Founded in 2003, The Ladders is one of the best known online job search services.

We had several Stumptown roasts available for everyone to try:

(1) Coeur d'Afrique: a new Stumptown single-origin mix which is composed of coffees from Rwanda and Burundi. (2) Peru Cecovasa: an new Stumptown offering which is both direct trade and organic. (3) Hair Bender Blend: Stumptown's signature espresso blend, composed of coffee from every major coffee producing region: Indonesia, East Africa, and Latin America. (4) Holler Mountain Blend: Stumptown's 100% direct trade and organic blend. (5) House Blend (6) Cold Brew: Joyride made the cold brew using Stumptown's House.

Everyone had the opportunity to vote, a recent addition to our tastings, and here are the results:

The favorites were the Hair Bender Blend and the Peru Cecovasa, but our Cold Brew, which was a write-in-only option, also did very well. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun and everyone at The Ladders seemed to enjoy themselves as well:
