Creating a blend is like songwriting—pairing notes and influences not just in roasting, but also in brewing. This release brings together two of my favorite regions (Ethiopia and Guatemala) to capture an elegant, expressive cup: jammy pome fruit, toffee sweetness, and cooked berries that make the cup come alive from first sip to last.

Music Inspiration: Duran Duran

The 80s were a pivotal era in music, marked by an evolution of sound and style that laid the groundwork for the 90s, 00s, and beyond. To me, Duran Duran is quintessential British New Wave, not just for their music, but for how they defined visual storytelling through video.

This release is my love letter to the band, inspired by their 1982 album Rio. They have so many incredible songs to experience so put one on, press play, and sip slowly while you savor this release.
