We get asked by friends and family where to buy coffee a lot. It’s a tough question! It’s easy to lose track of just how many incredible, fresh, vibrant coffees are out there. Every week, we ask our advertising roasting partners for coffee recommendations they’re most excited about. Here’s this week’s collection of some of the most interesting whole bean coffee offerings available from talented roasters across the globe.

Sourced from high-elevation growing regions in Huila and Cauca, this blend combines washed and natural coffees, including Pink Bourbon, sourced from some of Colombia’s most celebrated varieties.

Juan is a second-generation farmer who has been cultivating coffee for over 40 years on his 16-hectare farm, El Porvenir, in Palestina, Huila. His expertise and early investment in the Pink Bourbon cultivar have earned him recognition and awards within the specialty coffee community, so we are excited to continue working alongside Juan to roast this small batch of his Gesha variety.
Our final Burundian coffee of the season comes from Gahahe, a fantastic washing station in the red clay hills of Kayanza Province. This fully washed lot is an excellent rendering of flavors we’ve come to love in East Africa. Look for a warm and complex cup with immaculate clarity and layered sweetness; we taste cranberry, golden raisin, dried fig, honey, brown sugar, orange peel, and lovely, subtle florals.
