Every year we release a new version of our Anniversary Blend. It’s our seventh anniversary this year so what better way to celebrate than blending two of our very best in season coffees. Colombia Aponte Honey and Rwanda Izuba Washed. This isn’t your traditional chocolatey blend, this is about blending two of our fruitiest, juiciest coffees. Think pomegranate, alongside stone fruit and sweet honey. We love it as a filter coffee, and we love it as espresso. Celebrate and Enjoy.

Eva H. ★★★★★

The washed batch brews up so clean and bright, while the honey process gives it that syrupy sweetness—a nice contrast from the Caturra and Bourbon beans. I've been sipping it black every morning and the finish lingers just right.

William ★★★★★

The honey process really shines through here—there's a sweetness that lingers on the palate long after the cup, and the washed lots add a clean, crisp finish that keeps me coming back. I brewed it as a pour-over and the Caturra and Bourbon blend gave it a nice, balanced body without any bitterness.

Matthew ★★★★★

The balance between the Caturra and Bourbon cultivars really shines here, especially in the honey process lot where the sweetness is clean without being cloying. I brewed it in my pour-over and the washed batch had a crisp, bright finish that made the whole bag disappear in under a week.
