We’re excited to have a coffee from Kenya back on the menu!  Sourced from two counties bordering the ancient volcano of Mt Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak and just a few miles south of the Equator, this coffee leads with warming notes of cinnamon and a pleasant aroma of chamomile, followed by sweet and tart flavors of cranberry and citrus.  Smooth, pleasant, with a lingering silkiness that will start your day with a satisfied smile! 

 

Porch Swing Blend

Signs you’ve hit on a winning summer blend:

1.      It’s delicious served hot or as an iced coffee.

2.      Our office manager Shannon enjoys it black, and that is not how she usually enjoys her coffee.

3.      Deciding on tasting notes was challenging because we kept finishing our glasses too fast.

Introducing our Porch Swing Blend!

Our talented roasters have hit this one out of the park. We’ve blended coffees from Brazil, Costa Rica, and Honduras to create you a beverage that’s perfect for any hour of a summer’s day. Porch Swing Blend is smooth and sippable when brewed hot, but it really shines as an iced coffee. The flavor notes of honeysuckle nectar and tangy blood orange support a bright, smooth body with an acidity that’s complex without being overpowering. And we’ve thoroughly tested it to make sure that its deliciousness pairs well with milk, simple syrup, and ice.

Serving suggestion: Start the morning with some Porch Swing Blend served hot in your favorite mug and enjoyed outside (porch swing itself optional but encouraged.)  Then, once the day heats up, enjoy it cold in a big glass jar full of ice under your favorite tree.  Can a blend really be optimized for drinking in the dappled sunlight on a glorious summer’s day?  We think so – please let us know how we did!

While Pierre was on his trip to Colombia and Peru this past Spring he was able to secure us some bags of this amazing Castillo Colombia coffee grown on La Linda Farm, by Noé Alejandro. We are super-excited for this extremely clean cup; it really showcases Pierre’s objective palette, developed over several decades.
