"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 September subscribers, we're featuring 2 freshly landed Costa Rican coffees from this years Cup of Excellence winner; Ivan Solis.
This particular lot took 16th place in the 'honey and natural' category in this years COE. Interestingly, Ivan thought that it would be this lot that would take the top prize, and we agree! It is excellent.Expect a juicy and refined, deep coffee with notes of plum, cherry, and white tea. First place in our eyes!
'Voo' means flight in Portuguese. Finca Voo has all the right conditions for growing exceptional coffee, and the farm is in good hands. Ivan's coffees are beautiful expressions of variety and terroir and are the result of doing the basics extremely well: well-suited varietals, healthy trees and fruit, selective picking and sorting, and meticulous drying. When asked to describe his coffees in one word, Ivan replied: "intrinsic".
Our 2nd feature is a clean and sweet Yellow Catuai from Ivan's family farm; Cuatro Vientos.
This Yellow Catuai is categorized as a 'yellow' honey, which refers to the amount of mucillage left on the seed at drying. Expect a juicy, rounded coffee with notes of yellow plum, pear, and honey.
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.
