Bolivia Caranavi CENAPROC Co-op

Washed, Organic. From the high-skies of the Yungas region hails this fancy diddle of a bean. Boasting a Coffee Review score of 94 - this little dab better do ya.

Little Debbie's "Nutty Bar" turns Hipster-Fusion with notes of orange-cherry acidity & coffee. A medium body with the coated mouthfeel of a flintstone's jacket. Calm and soothing like as a guilty-pleasure. So calm, in fact, I'm willing to misuse the word ironic as forgivable so we can all just enjoy a little ninety-nine cent pastry together.

Come get it.

bolivia cafe golondrin

i'd ask you to dance, but you can already see the look in my eye.
it's you courting me to the floor.
sweet blackberry whispers tickle my neck and serenade my ear,
milk chocolate ganache enveloping my little fragile heart.
whisking us off to paradise on a rainbow-current,
of spry fuschia and yellow sunshine.

bolivia, you are easy to be with.

Rwanda Musasa Dukunkeakwa

Let me introduce you to your new favorite feminist Cup of Excellence. The Musasa Co-Operative in the Rushashi District of Ruli boasts a collaboration of 2,000 farms, with more than 80-percent women-owned. Harvesting 100-percent red bourbon beans, the Musasa Co-Op has snagged two Cup of Excellence nods in the past year. One of which is our new fully-washed and African-dried Rwanda.


Fresh and fatty, oozing chocolate covered bacon & peanut-brittle. A fresh light body, opening the palette with lemon brightness, and a gentle coated mouthfeel. This complexity might be best appreciated in chemex form.
