We’re releasing a new coffee this month! Since it’s our first production roast of this coffee, we admit: it may not be perfect. That’s why we’re selling bags from the first roast at a discount, and we’re keeping the details of the coffee a secret. Everyone loves surprises!
This month’s Mystery Coffee is a natural and comes from smallholding farmers organized around a very high altitude processing station. We’re targeting a light city roast with this one. In the cup, we taste a medley of fruits, jasmine flowers, and sugary sweetness. The cup has a juicy quality, but it also has a bit of weight from the natural process (and that occasionally gives a chocolate-forward impression). And while some of the fruity notes do indicate that this coffee was dried in cherry, it also has a nice acidity and sweetness that helps balance the flavor. While you probably wouldn’t be able to convince me it was washed, I would at least have to think about it if you asked me whether it was a natural in a blind tasting!
Mystery Coffee costs $19. We roasted our most recent batch 03 March, and freshly roasted bags are still available!
