In pandemic life, itโ€™s the little reminders of The Before Times that spark the moments of normalcy-as-joy. And today, as curator of coffee news and events, I get to do what Iโ€™ve done so many times before (but havenโ€™t for over a year) and talk about an actual, real-life, in the flesh coffee pop-up! Happening this weekend, March 20th and 21st, Coffee Project NY is teaming up with Stolen Magnolia for a Plants and Pour-Over Pop-Up benefitting the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Taking place between 11:00am and 2:00pm at all four Coffee Project NY locationsโ€”East Village, Chelsea, Brooklyn, and Long Island City (featured here on Sprudge)โ€”the Plants and Pour-Over Pop-Up wonโ€™t just feature plants and pour-overs but will offer a curated pairing of the two. Per the press release for the event, baristas on hand will be there to โ€œtalk about the coffee itself and how it ties into its plant pairing, along with how plants can positively impact mental health.โ€

Plant pairings are available as a pour-over, retail bag, or pour-over and retail bag, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
