What can we say. There's just too much good coffee out there. Picking these add-ons was extra hard and this month we decided to cover the spectrum: washed, honey, natural, cofermy - clean, funky, decaf - Panama, Colombia, Rwanda. People Possession (Paris): Blueberry Pie Magic It's back!! One of our most beloved funky features ever (last October). It was so popular, we frequently heard from folks wanting more. Well it's been over 6 months so we figured for one, there are many new folks that haven't gotten to try it and two, some of y'all might want more! And if you're unsure, just ask in our discord ;) This coffee is the one that sold a lot of us on the idea of a co-ferment blend where one component is not a coferment. It's magical. Washed Caturra and Pache from Peru and co-fermented Castillo from Colombia Blueberry Pie, Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream, Vanilla 200g original can - $2460g in our packaging - $8 Retail at People Possession $21 for 200g + shipping People Possession (Paris): HLE [5BANC] Here's the thing: People Possession doesn't just do crazy funk. With our last order, we tried one of their "ciggy boxes" like this one and it was reaaaaally good. Anaerobic Natural Geisha from Panama Papaya, Kaffir Lime, Rose Lemonade, Pineapple 60g original box - $7430g in our packaging - $38 Retail at People Possession: $70 for 60g + shipping Datura (Paris): Hacienda La Esmeralda Trapiche 2 AFB Gesha Washed Datura again? Yes that's right! The Alo from April was a big hit and there's another main feature that we cannot pass up on. In April we did a last-minute Datura add-on addition, which meant not everyone was able to take advantage of it. We're excited to have them back. This lot is one that the Datura team selected in-person in March. If you follow their Instagram, you saw how they cupped it onsite. That's pretty cool, especially with this quick turnaround! Washed Geisha from Panama Lavender, Bergamot, Apricot, Violet 100g original bag - $8630g in our packaging - $27 Retail at Datura: $82 for 100g + shipping Datura (Paris): Lérida - Esplendorosa Estate Gesha Honey We selected this lot directly at the farm during our trip to Panama, the most floral and complex on the table. The kind of profile that immediately draws us in.From hot to cold, it moves through layers of florals, opening on orange blossom and jasmine, then settling into an elegant rose note as it cools.A light yuzu note throughout, bringing brightness and complexity. Silky texture, great balance, a beautifully elegant cup. Honey Geisha from Panama Orange Blossom, Yuzu, Honeydew, Rose 100g original bag - $3730g in our packaging - $12 Retail at Datura: $34 for 100g + shipping Kolo (Berlin): Best of Rwanda #2: Lot 747 Jarama Remember Sandbox? The same German friend that recommended them to us also vouched for Kolo. This add-on lot won second place in the non-washed auction in Best of Rwanda last year. Natural Red Bourbon from Rwanda Cherry, Mango, Violet 100g original bag - $4430g in our packaging - $14 Retail at Kolo: $40 for 100g (but does not ship to the US) Kolo (Berlin): Kenya Nyeri Decaf From Kolo: Its Like real Kenya but Decaf, we try to save origin flavor profile during the roast and actually works ! We must admit that we have never had a Kenyan decaf. So this is definitely a wildcard! Washed SL28, SL34, CO2 Decaf Process Citrusy, Red Fruits, Chocolate 250g original bag - $2660g in our packaging - $6 Retail at Kolo: $23 for 250g (does not ship to US) -- About Add-Ons Our add-ons are offerings that are harder to come by in the US and that are coffees that we would usually add on ourselves when placing our monthly orders. Add ons will come with the same brew card and recipe as everything else. Show more
