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 was grown by smallholding farmers and washed at a central processing facility at a high altitude, with the cooler weather leading to slightly extended fermentation times of 36 to 48 hours. We’re targeting a City roast for this coffee, and in the cup, we taste flavors of light honey, lemongrass, and ginger, with a noticeable but pleasant acidity in the finish. It’s a nice, light cup that is drinkable but with a little zip to it. This particular coffee excels in pourover brewing and produces a satisfying immersion pot (it’s a bit more honey-forward) as well. Our espresso was a little sharp, with a strong flavor of lemongrass in the finish, so we don’t recommend pulling shots of this one unless you are especially adventurous (you know who you are). The eventual retail price of this coffee will be $24.
Mystery Coffee costs $19. We roasted our most recent batch 03 November, and freshly roasted bags are still available!
