Some very special beans just arrived at the roastery! It’s the 2022 crop of our Organic “Planadas” from ASOPAP, a Co-Op we have been supporting since 2019. This year’s crop is everything you would wish for in a Specialty-grade Colombian cup: boldness, sweetness, and intensity! Its intoxicating aroma will invite you to immerse yourself in subtle citrus notes that perfectly complement a light caramel sweetness dance on the palate, and its bold finish will leave a lasting impression. It’s now online, and shipping to subscribers starting tomorrow! It is an extremely versatile cup that’s perfect for summer, as its high soluble solids lend themselves well to a variety of brew methods - from your morning Drip to home Cold Brewing!
We also recently launched our 2022 Ethereal Summer Blend , a refreshing cold brew or iced coffee blend featuring our beloved Poaquil Honey this year! This triple single-origin blend aims to be the perfect balance of classic and modern flavors to cold brew or enjoy as an iced pour-over, an iced coffee, or an adventurous hot brew for your summer mornings. Plus, in an effort to expand on healthy, refreshing drink options for us this Summer, we’ve paired Ethereal’s launch with a new herbal (iced tea) offering, our Sunrise Summer tea! We will continue to send extra samples of this one on all your coffee orders >3 lbs this summer, until supplies last (i.e. we’ve drank it all!).
Our 2022 “RE:” technical summer series begins next month, and if there’s any particular coffee topic or question that you would like us to professionally review for you - we would love to know about it! Thank you for continuing to make our impact possible… we’re facing many sourcing challenges (i.e. opportunities!) this year, yet knowing that we have the support of our amazing Ethos family has allowed us to pay historically high prices for all our coffees this year, while continuing to have a thriving business which we hope will be able to sustain this commitment and this work for many, many years!
Wising you an adventurous, impactful, and refreshing Summer season!
💛 Jolian & Lisbeth
