Picnics With Mom, Summer Coffee Blend

After one sip of this coffee you'll be transported back to a simpler time. Warm summer afternoons, fresh fruit, 'red soda', and the smell of lavender from the garden. The warmth of the sun & the cold grass separated by an old vintage picnic basket and a cozy blanket. There's nothing quite like these memories we all have as children.

Combining two unique coffees from two exceptional farmers, this blend is truly awe inspiring. The first portion is from Santiago Patiño at Finca El Ocaso in Quindio, Colombia. It is his natural Castillo; meticulously harvested and processed naturally, the dedication truly shows in the cup. By itself, we find this coffee to taste like that 'bright & juicy cherry' or 'vaguely red flavor' soda that fueled so many of our childhood summer afternoons!

The other portion of this coffee is from Sebastian Ramirez, a farmer who has been making huge strides in the world of co-ferments and other experimental fermentations. His farm is Finca El Placer, and is in Quindio, Colombia. The coffee used in this blend is his black honey, peach co-fermented Caturra. It is fermented with wine yeast, dehydrated peaches, and fruit glucose. The result is inherently peach forward, and has an almost wine-like body. Alone it tastes like drinking a cup of peach tea! Incredible!

When combining these two coffees, you get something that tastes absolutely otherworldly. It is light, delicate, but has intense peach notes, as well as this overarching cherry soda like attributes & acidity, followed by a clean finish that envelopes your palate with gentle honeysuckle sweetness. 

This is the second version of Picnics with Mom, and we feel like it is even more fruity, peachy, and enjoyable than the first iteration; we hope you have a chance to try it out, and share it with great company. This coffee loves to rest.. Please give it about 6 days of time (after roast date) to rest before brewing. ❣️

Enjoy!
