Discover our seasonal tasting pack trio highlighting our favourites of the season. Each coffee presents in one of three expressions: Comforting, Sweet or Fruity. These are perfect coffees for those crisp winter mornings.
Kenya, Dagitu Peaberry, Washed
Expression: Sweet
Processing: Washed
Variety: SL28, SL34
Hibiscus · Black Tea · Berry · Jammy
Our first Kenyan release of the year, and it’s a banger. When we are looking for coffees from Kenya we don’t settle.
Some chase acid profiles, others sweetness or florality. We want it all. Call us greedy. Another peaberry lot, being a single bean grown inside the fruit instead of two. We think of them like twins, but in reverse. They are an anomaly and we love them for that.
Dagitu Estate is a family run farm planted in the early 1960’s on land gained during large land reforms after the 1952 Mau Mau uprising. Without giving you a long and at times depressing history lesson, essentially the British controlled all land that coffee estates operated on, as well as much more, and deliberately excluded African Kenyans from ownership and participation. Most coffees from Kenya are traced to local processing stations called factories that many small holders contribute to making traceability almost impossible past that level. We are super excited to not only bring you exquisite Kenyan coffee, but also from a fully traceable family run farm established on land reclaimed from colonial control.
Brazil, Sítio Canaã, Pulped Natural
Variety: Topazio, Acauã
Expression: Comforting
Processing: Pulped Natural
Pear · Chocolate Danish · Silky · Creamed Honey
This coffee can be summed up in a simple word: Promise.
Klumen Moreira is simply the future of coffee from Brazil as we see it. He's young, hungry, and talented, growing only varieties he sees as confronting the challenges predicted to come over the following years—and they are stunning.
The fact that Sítio Canaã literally means "Promised Land" only reinforces that we're onto something special here.
Colombia, El Merdiano, Washed
Variety: Pink Bourbon
Expression: Sweet
Processing: Washed
Sweet Grape · Mixed Berry · Vanilla
This Colombian Pink Bourbon truly exemplifies our Sweet expression.
Pink Bourbon is hip, trendy, and fun-sounding - although not actually bourbon at all! This Ethiopian landrace variety (think Geisha) somehow found its way to Colombia. That's literally the story: no one knows exactly how, though a few have theories. The truth remains buried. Was it stolen from Nestlé? Illegally smuggled? The imagination boggles with possibilities of espionage and shady deals.
Either way, it's seriously delicious. The producers of Herrera in Rioblanco, Tolima, have done a fantastic job with this single variety community. Many farmers are second and third generation coffee producers and are committed to continually learning to produce higher quality coffees than the years before, experimenting with new varieties and processing methods. It clearly shows with standout quality and sweetness in this coffee.
