New month, new coffee! April’s Coffee Drop is La Cabra Colombia Gesha by Victor Gutierrez

A beautifully balanced cup with notes of jasmine, orange blossom, ripe peach, and honeyed citrus. Light and tea like, with a clean structure that lets each flavor come through.

Perfect to sip on a patio during real spring days. (When they decide to show up)

Available now in cafés and online.

Honoring this month’s coffee drop with something a little extra.

Inspired by the tropical, fruit forward notes of our Colombia El Espejo Tabi, Tim crafted More Spell on You: an iced latte made with Tabi espresso and vanilla coconut cream cold foam.

Named after the Eddie Johns track that later found new life through Daft Punk, it’s a bright, playful way to experience this coffee as espresso.

Pick up a bag in our cafes or online and try it for yourself at home!

New month new coffee drop! Colombia El Espejo — Tabi Honey

From Tolima, grown by Gabriel Ricardo Ávila. Tabi, a Colombian hybrid rooted in Bourbon and Typica, built for resilience and elegance.

Careful fermentation. Slow drying. Patient resting.

In the cup: sweet passionfruit, ripe blackberry, hints of lychee and papaya. Round, syrupy texture with a clean finish. Red fruit acidity keeps everything lifted.

Thoughtful coffee. Balanced and layered.

We’re fortunate to share it.

Available for the month of March.
Grab a bag while it’s here!
