Certified fair trade & organic coffees blended to deliver full flavor & balance we’ve been enjoying this coffee at a slightly lighter roast than most of our blends, as it highlights crisp, bright & sweet tones & leaves a satisfyingly clean finish currently, it features coffees from honduras, ethiopia & sumatra the combination of these three coffees lifts the cup to something more than the sum of its parts this blend will change seasonally as tasty new certified coffees become available; in fact, it won’t necessarily always be a blend when we find a double-certified coffee we love enough, you’ll get a shot at it by itself 16.5
