"Explore Uncommon" Coffee subscription
This package displays two different, usually contrasting, high quality lots roasted for filter.
This subscription is tailored to filter coffee drinkers but also suitable for progressive, espresso brewers. Our intention is to introduce you to seasonal but differing coffees each month.
You can expect to have 2 new coffees each month, usually the freshly landed coffees and our newest releases. We love tasting two coffees side by side, sometimes you will receive coffees from the similar places but with two different processes, or two different varieties. The variables are endless and it will be a true tasting experience where you will openly learn how these variables impact the flavour profile of each coffee. You can expect some top tier coffees in this package, the competition level/rare lots will feature here and there (in a smaller portion).

For our October subscribers, we're featuring another awesome Costa Rican coffee from this years Cup of Excellence winner; Ivan Solis.
This Yellow Catuai is categorized as a 'black' honey, which refers to the amount of mucillage left on the seed at drying. Expect a deep, caramelised coffee with notes of prune, blackberry, and black tea.
Ivan has been working in coffee production for over 20 years. He started out working at one of the largest milling operations in Costa Rica, before going on to operate his own wet mill and eventually owning his own farms. Each farm is run by a member of the family, Cuatro Vientos is managed by his daughter Leandra Cordero.
Our 2nd feature is a Pink Bourbon natural from Alexander Vargas and his farm La Piragua.
This Pink Bourbon is a very fruity expression of one of our favourite varieties. Expect a bold, ripe coffee with notes of pomegranate, cantaloupe, and kiwi.
Alexander has been a coffee farmer for over 25 years, beginning on his parents farm at only 15 years old. At 20, he decided to begin his own journey and produce high-quality specialty coffees and cultivate exotic varieties. Since then, he has placed in Colombias Cup of Excellence competition an impressive 4 times.
