PERC Prepare your dadgum tongues for another fantastic coffee from our pals at Los Nogales. This is the third coffee we’ve partnered with them on, and to tell you a secret, we’ve since sourced a fourth. That tells you how much we dig what they’re doing. This Yellow Bourbon blew us away with its sweet and effervescent acidity with flavors that remind us of mango, pineapple, peach, blood orange, and salted caramel. It’s safe to say we will be releasing many more coffees from the amazing folks at Los Nogales in the future. Get some of this banger while you can! |

Dune Coffee Roasters This anaerobic Sidra from La Papaya has become a mainstay of our lineup each year, with distinctive and delightful flavors in the cup. We find a complex, berry-like acidity, as well as a sweet kiwi flavor and dark fruit flavors that remind us of summer blackberry. The texture of this coffee stands out every time as well, changing from a creamy to juicy sensation as the coffee cools. |

Partners Coffee Vladimir Calambás grows borbón de la montaña, a relatively unknown cultivar specific to Inzá, Cauca. Introduced to us last year by our friends at Pergamino, it appears to be a local mutation of bourbon that is well adapted to the area’s highest (and coldest) elevations. A slight departure from the citric acidity we most closely associate with Inzá, we’re tasting more berry and floral notes. Think watermelon, cherry, strawberry, and caramel. |

Night Swim Coffee We’re more thrilled than ever to offer a lot from Nano Genji – our first time buying from the co-op. Nano Genji is a part of the Kata Muduga Union, a union of 39 co-ops and washing stations that focus on quality coffees and paying dividends directly to the Union members. Nano Genji is the sibling mill to the famed Nano Challa mill, featured on our menu last year. Historically one of the most coveted coffees in all of Western Ethiopia, Nano Challa membership did such an amazing job with production and processing that the tremendous premiums they were receiving caused their membership to swell to a level that pushed their capacity as far as it could go. In 2021, they opened Nano Genji a few miles away with brand new Penagos equipment along with dozens of drying beds to accommodate their growing membership. With 630 members between the two washing stations, they’re looking forward to continued growth and success. This lot, #6, from Nano Genji is bright and refreshing, with bold citrus and fruity notes that instantly remind us of cherry-limeade from Sonic or peach green tea on a warm spring/summer day. |

La Barba Coffee With a bright and pleasantly crisp acidity, fruit flavors such as green grape and apple produce a clean first couple sips. Gradually, the cup becomes sweeter, fruitier, and lends a subtle floral note, still maintaining an enjoyably vibrant acidity, making this one of Jijon’s most impressive coffees. |

Stumptown Coffee Roasters The coffee that started it all: Hair Bender is Stumptown’s signature blend, a recipe perfected over 25 years ago. We can tell you it’s a complex blend with notes of sweet citrus, dark chocolate, and raisin, but we can’t tell you how it’ll make you feel. It just . . . makes you feel things, lots of really good things. |

Mr. Espresso West Java is quickly making its mark in the coffee world. Only about 15 years ago, the Indonesian government launched an initiative to lease private land to local farmers for coffee farming, aiming to protect the area’s lush forests from logging. The forward-thinking programming has transformed the region into a hub for exceptional coffee production. Part of Mr. Espresso’s limited-edition Collezione di Caffè, this washed micro-lot comes from West Java’s Cipaganti Village. Collected directly from small farmers, coffee varietals include Catimor, Tim Tim, Typica, and Gayo II — all grown at high altitudes of around 5,700 feet. For this fully washed coffee, ripe cherries are pulped, dry-fermented for sixteen hours, and then thoroughly washed. The coffee is then placed in a solar dryer, until the optimum moisture content is reached.While washed coffee processing is traditional to the region, it had fallen out of favor as producers transitioned to meet a demand for wet-hulled coffees made popular in neighboring Sumatra. The Mr. Espresso sourcing team was exceptionally impressed by this coffee’s vibrancy, showcased by the region’s traditional processing method. Java Gunung Tikukur offers a complex cup, with flavors such as peach, toasted almond, and basil. |
