Only 60 bags came in this season, and we bought every one. Double-fermented and washed at the factory, then dried slowly on raised tables.

It is loud in the best way: blackcurrant and ruby grapefruit up front, demerara sugar holding it all together. Here until it runs out.

  • When will my coffee be roasted?

    We roast on Tuesdays and Fridays and ship within 48 hours of the drum. Order by Monday night for the Tuesday roast, or Thursday night for Friday. The roast date is stamped on every bag.

  • How does subscribe and save work?

    Choose a size, a grind and a rhythm: every 2, 3 or 4 weeks. Every delivery is 10% off and roasted to order. Skip a delivery, pause or cancel whenever you like. There is no minimum term.

  • Whole bean or ground?

    Whole bean keeps its aroma for weeks; ground coffee is at its best for about ten days. If you don't own a grinder yet, we grind to order for $1 and match the grind to your brewer.

  • How should I store it?

    Keep the bag sealed, at room temperature and out of the sun. The one-way valve lets the beans breathe out without letting air in. Skip the fridge: it adds moisture and smells.
