Heartwood Coffee From a 12-year-old coffee worker to a processing innovator, Andres created this ‘purple honey natural’ process with the goal of diversifying methods and providing a unique sensory experience. First, a 96-hour fermentation process is started in closed tanks with water and ‘sugar cane honey’ added to achieve a 15% sweetness level, then the coffee is dried in mechanical driers to ensure the right moisture content and end the fermentation process. |

Madcap Coffee Every fall, we aim to strike a balance of bright acidity with deep sweetness and call it Harvest Moon. This year, two washed single origin coffees from Guatemala and Ethiopia were chosen to create this autumnal blend. Once combined, the final blend is crisp and comforting, with notes of caramel apples, orange peel, and milk chocolate. Warm your hands with Harvest Moon in your favorite mug, or enjoy in a cappuccino for an indulgent treat. |

Cinnamon and maple buns from award-winning coffee producer Diego Bermudez! His processing methods are truly scientific. He has a laboratory where he uses scientific methods to enhance the maximum potential of his coffee. The result is a super complex coffee, but in a warm, comforting way. It’s not super fruity or funky; this coffee is all about sweet, baking spices. It falls somewhere between a cinnamon roll and a spice cake. |

La Barba Coffee This washed pink bourbon is a reminder of the significance of farming and terroir.

As it cools these notes mellow a bit and the cup gets sweeter and sweeter with a creamy, sugary sweetness. |

Mr. Espresso Brazilian coffees are often viewed as “workhorse” coffees. They’re regularly used as the main component of a blend to give good chocolate notes and body, but they’re rarely the star of the show. This coffee eschews that designation and truly shines as a single origin espresso and brew. Brazil Córrego Da Boa Vista is a coffee that absolutely bursts with freshness. In the cup you’ll find an abundance of florals including lavender and jasmine, followed by vetiver, and ending with toasted almond. |

Verve Coffee Roasters Balanced and bright, the Grateful Dead blend is easy-drinking with layered complexity. It opens with a sweet burst of Plum and Nectarine, grounded by warm Black Tea. A clean finish brings it all together, offering a smooth cup that’s as timeless as the music that inspired it. |
