Heartwood Coffee Sebastian Ramirez is a fourth-generation coffee farmer with over 12 years of experience, and a master of experimental fermentations. This coffee underwent no cherry fermentation; it was de-pulped immediately after harvesting and fermented for 24 to 36 hours before being washed and dried. Without any additional treatment, we can taste the innate complexity of the pink bourbon varietal in its purest form. |

Equator Coffees A vivacious single origin coffee that truly flourishes in espresso form, Dushime came to us by way of our longtime partners at JNP Coffee in Burundi. Grown by a collective of women farmers in the Ngozi Province and processed at the Turihamwe Washing Station they built together, this coffee is the result of dedication, community, and a commitment to quality. In Kirundi, Dushime means “let’s be thankful.” At JNP Coffee, it also represents a share of the premium earned from high-quality specialty coffee—a second payment made later in the year to the farmers, long after the harvest has been sold. With its effervescent acidity, syrupy body, and notes of blackberry, tamarind, and date, this medium-light roast espresso is a must-try for med-light roast drinkers looking to revitalize their coffee routine. |

Klatch Coffee A rare GR1-grade Geisha from Gracias a Dios, Amazonas, Peru—this coffee is a vibrant, elegant cup with notes of a clean citrus bloom lifts from the cup, touched with grapefruit zest. Warm sips unfold into soft jasmine, it transforms—lemongrass whispers through notes of ripe peach, all trailing into a lingering finish of sugarcane sweetness. Extra value 310 gram bag (almost double the size of most Geisha packaging) in exclusive velvet bag, ready for gifting – ideal for Mother’s Day! |

Madcap Coffee Upon visiting Juan Angel’s farms in Honduras in 2022, we learned that he passed along his highest elevation property, La Montaña, to his sons Irvin and Orlin to care for. Madcap has partnered with Juan’s family since 2014, and we’ve watched his sons become more involved with the coffee growing process. For the third year, we’re honored to release this special micro-lot coffee under Irvin Izaguirre’s name. |

He has spent the past twenty years relentlessly pursuing the production of award-winning specialty coffee, including a third place ranking in the 2021 Peru Cup of Excellence.

Phil & Sebastian Lilac Dream is one of our most delicate coffees. It carries a tea-like texture, stone fruit sweetness, underlying florals, and orange juiciness. While the coffees behind the name will change, the flavour profile remains a guiding thread. These will mostly be washed coffees from East Africa, but expect a few surprises from other countries that offer this flavour profile. If you’re drawn to this style of coffee, you’ll feel right at home here. |

Mr. Espresso Mr. Espresso’s Colombia La Terraza takes a classic heirloom varietal and gives it a contemporary twist. This lot of Yellow Bourbon comes from a farm deep in the Andes with three generations of knowledge and a passion for innovation. By choosing to utilize the more contemporary honey process, this coffee highlights tropical flavors reminiscent of a natural coffee, while retaining the clean flavor profile typical of a washed coffee. This melding of Yellow Bourbon crop and Honey Process creates not only fascinating play on old and new, but an outstanding cup. |

La Barba Coffee Rarely does a coffee have the funky wine character so common with anaerobic fermentation without some amount of subtle dirtiness. This Sidra presents the cleanest wine-like note we’ve ever encountered – no dirtiness at all. As it cools melon and strawberry notes develop and balance the funk for a delightfully fruity coffee experience. |

Onyx Coffee Lab Elevated by a meticulous fermentation process, this lot underwent a 48-hour dry anaerobic fermentation, during which lychees were introduced into the environment. This infusion of fresh fruit in a controlled, oxygen-free setting enhances the coffee’s aromatic complexity, imparting delicate floral and tropical nuances. Following fermentation, the coffee was washed and dried on raised beds under temperatures below 35°C, preserving its clarity and structure- expect strong notes of lychee, lime, and florals throughout. |

Portland Coffee Roasters Since PCR’s start, we’ve maintained coffees in our lineup from the three main coffee-growing regions of the world: Latin America, Africa, and SE Asia. This year, our Anniversary Roast celebrates this tradition by blending unique coffees from each sector. One from Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region, one from Ethiopia’s Guji region, and one from Vietnam from the Son La Region. Some of these growing regions are familiar and traditional to our lineup, while others are new! |

PERC Prepare your dadgum tongues for another fantastic coffee from our pals at Los Nogales. This is the third coffee we’ve partnered with them on, and to tell you a secret, we’ve since sourced a fourth. That tells you how much we dig what they’re doing. This Yellow Bourbon blew us away with its sweet and effervescent acidity with flavors that remind us of mango, pineapple, peach, blood orange, and salted caramel. It’s safe to say we will be releasing many more coffees from the amazing folks at Los Nogales in the future. Get some of this banger while you can! |

Dune Coffee Roasters This anaerobic Sidra from La Papaya has become a mainstay of our lineup each year, with distinctive and delightful flavors in the cup. We find a complex, berry-like acidity, as well as a sweet kiwi flavor and dark fruit flavors that remind us of summer blackberry. The texture of this coffee stands out every time as well, changing from a creamy to juicy sensation as the coffee cools. |

Pachamama Coffee Pachamama Coffee is fully owned and governed by smallholder farmers in Perú, Nicaragua, Guatemala, México, and Ethiopia.

Partners Coffee Vladimir Calambás grows borbón de la montaña, a relatively unknown cultivar specific to Inzá, Cauca. Introduced to us last year by our friends at Pergamino, it appears to be a local mutation of bourbon that is well adapted to the area’s highest (and coldest) elevations. A slight departure from the citric acidity we most closely associate with Inzá, we’re tasting more berry and floral notes. Think watermelon, cherry, strawberry, and caramel. |

Night Swim Coffee We’re more thrilled than ever to offer a lot from Nano Genji – our first time buying from the co-op. Nano Genji is a part of the Kata Muduga Union, a union of 39 co-ops and washing stations that focus on quality coffees and paying dividends directly to the Union members. Nano Genji is the sibling mill to the famed Nano Challa mill, featured on our menu last year. Historically one of the most coveted coffees in all of Western Ethiopia, Nano Challa membership did such an amazing job with production and processing that the tremendous premiums they were receiving caused their membership to swell to a level that pushed their capacity as far as it could go. In 2021, they opened Nano Genji a few miles away with brand new Penagos equipment along with dozens of drying beds to accommodate their growing membership. With 630 members between the two washing stations, they’re looking forward to continued growth and success. This lot, #6, from Nano Genji is bright and refreshing, with bold citrus and fruity notes that instantly remind us of cherry-limeade from Sonic or peach green tea on a warm spring/summer day. |
