The Ones We Love Seasonal blend

• Attributes: Two of the season’s standout single lots, paired for espresso
• Origin & Producers: See current components below
• Profile: Black: juicy, jube-like sweetness, nougat, creamy. With milk: salted caramel, plum, milk chocolate, candied macadamia

The Ones We Love currently features two microlots: a Pink Borbon from Beto Narvaez (Bruselas, Huila, Colombia) and a caturra and bourbon lot from Javier Martinez (Pena Roja, Huehuetenango, Guatemala).

A bolder two coffee pairing bringing heavier flavours to accommodate the addition of milk. Beto’s Pink Borbon brings the bright, juicy sweetness, while Javier’s lot adds deeper chocolate, grape and plum, for a cup that is vibrant and generous served black or white.

This essentially allows us to celebrate more coffees “we love” (that additionally may have a small lot size), and finds a nice middle point between “single” and “blend”, and sets us a great Quality Control challenge to make an interesting and different product to Candyman that fluctuates seasonally, as the components change more frequently.

The Ones We Love has less focus on consistency of flavours per se, and more on short run, special profiles with high character.
