Sightglass Coffee
Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice is thoughtfully crafted to capture the carefree spirit of the season. We source two expressive coffees—one bright and floral, the other deep and fruit-forward—and blend them to create something layered, juicy, and undeniably summery. From the high elevations of Ethiopia’s Yirgacheffe region to the rolling hills of Huye, Rwanda, these coffees bring out the best in each other. Washed and natural processes add both clarity and complexity, while the final cup brims with tropical fruit, delicate florals, and sun-ripened sweetness. Whether you’re enjoying it over ice or as your first hot cup of the day, Summer Solstice is your invitation to pause, sip, and soak it all in.

PERC
Diego Bermudez M-03

Cinnamon and maple buns from award-winning coffee producer Diego Bermudez! His processing methods are truly scientific. He has a laboratory where he uses scientific methods to enhance the maximum potential of his coffee. The result is a super complex coffee, but in a warm, comforting way. It’s not super fruity or funky; this coffee is all about sweet, baking spices. It falls somewhere between a cinnamon roll and a spice cake.

PERC Colombia Diego Bermudez M-03 Sprudge Roaster's Village $31/12oz

Blueprint Coffee

The coffee-producing region Ngozi lies in north-central Burundi. With high elevation and mild, warm year-round weather, the environment in Ngozi provides excellent conditions for growing delicious specialty coffees.

Heartwood Coffee
Finca Palma Rosa

It’s not often we get to offer a coffee from a farm that we stepped foot onto.

Mr. Espresso
Brazil Córrego Da Boa Vista

Brazilian coffees are often viewed as “workhorse” coffees. They’re regularly used as the main component of a blend to give good chocolate notes and body, but they’re rarely the star of the show. This coffee eschews that designation and truly shines as a single origin espresso and brew. Brazil Córrego Da Boa Vista is a coffee that absolutely bursts with freshness. In the cup you’ll find an abundance of florals including lavender and jasmine, followed by vetiver, and ending with toasted almond.
Roast level: LIGHT | Lavender, Sweet Clover, and Toasted Almond

Mr. Espresso Brazil Córrego Da Boa Vista Sprudge Roaster's Village $21/12oz
