As the lightest and brightest blend on our menu, Fruitopia is designed to be anything but traditional. In partnership with our good friends at Cofinet, we keep this blend dynamic by rotating the components based on the freshest harvests.

Every iteration includes a co-fermented coffee, meaning the cherries were fermented alongside actual fruit to unlock incredible fruitiness and depth. This time we've doubled up: Jairo Arcila's Strawberry and Green Apple co-ferments from Colombia (10% each) join our Washed Kenya Adumu (80%).

The Kenya brings the structure, juicy acidity and a soft vanilla finish, while the co-ferments pile on ripe strawberry and crisp green apple.

It is summer in a cup, somewhere between strawberries and cream on Centre Court and a long iced glass on the lawn. Bright, fruity and best over ice.

Adam ★★★★★

The washed process really lets the Kenyan cultivars shine—I’ve been brewing it as a pour-over and the cup stays clean from first sip to last. It’s become my morning ritual, and I’m already dreading when the bag runs out.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The mixed cultivars from Kenya and Colombia make for a surprisingly complex cup—each sip shifts between bright, fruity notes and a deeper, earthier finish. I brewed it in my pour-over and the washed process kept everything clean and vibrant. Definitely ordering another bag.

Penelope ★★★★★

The washed process really lets the Kenyan side shine through—clean, bright, and no funky aftertaste. Brewed a pour-over this morning and the cup stayed sweet even as it cooled. Solid bag for the price.
