One from Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region, one from Ethiopia’s Guji region, and one from Vietnam from the Son La Region. Some of these growing regions are familiar and traditional to our lineup, while others are new! |

Madcap Coffee Madcap has had the honor of being Juan Angel’s sole buyer since 2014, something we were eager to establish after meeting him and seeing his dedication to producing quality coffee. Juan has a small team, including family, helping pick ripe cherries on his roughly 8 acre plot of land, often making three total passes to ensure they are harvesting as much cherry as they can. Once it is time for processing, the cherries are pulped, and left in tanks for 16 hours to dry ferment. After being washed, the coffee is transferred to raised beds to dry for around 10-15 days. Surrounded by some of the most revered coffee farms in Santa Bárbara, Juan stands tall among his peers. In his coffee, expect a clean cup with balanced acidity and sweetness, with notes of hibiscus, nectarine, and lime. |

PERC Prepare your dadgum tongues for another fantastic coffee from our pals at Los Nogales. This is the third coffee we’ve partnered with them on, and to tell you a secret, we’ve since sourced a fourth. That tells you how much we dig what they’re doing. This Yellow Bourbon blew us away with its sweet and effervescent acidity with flavors that remind us of mango, pineapple, peach, blood orange, and salted caramel. It’s safe to say we will be releasing many more coffees from the amazing folks at Los Nogales in the future. Get some of this banger while you can! |

Dune Coffee Roasters This anaerobic Sidra from La Papaya has become a mainstay of our lineup each year, with distinctive and delightful flavors in the cup. We find a complex, berry-like acidity, as well as a sweet kiwi flavor and dark fruit flavors that remind us of summer blackberry. The texture of this coffee stands out every time as well, changing from a creamy to juicy sensation as the coffee cools. |

This cup is packed with berry and tropical fruit flavors, as well as an integrated citrus acidity and deep sweetness reminiscent of vanilla and caramel, demonstrating the benefits of extremely high-elevation coffee production and the skill of this award-winning producer. |

Partners Coffee Vladimir Calambás grows borbón de la montaña, a relatively unknown cultivar specific to Inzá, Cauca. Introduced to us last year by our friends at Pergamino, it appears to be a local mutation of bourbon that is well adapted to the area’s highest (and coldest) elevations. A slight departure from the citric acidity we most closely associate with Inzá, we’re tasting more berry and floral notes. Think watermelon, cherry, strawberry, and caramel. |

Night Swim Coffee We’re more thrilled than ever to offer a lot from Nano Genji – our first time buying from the co-op. Nano Genji is a part of the Kata Muduga Union, a union of 39 co-ops and washing stations that focus on quality coffees and paying dividends directly to the Union members. Nano Genji is the sibling mill to the famed Nano Challa mill, featured on our menu last year. Historically one of the most coveted coffees in all of Western Ethiopia, Nano Challa membership did such an amazing job with production and processing that the tremendous premiums they were receiving caused their membership to swell to a level that pushed their capacity as far as it could go. In 2021, they opened Nano Genji a few miles away with brand new Penagos equipment along with dozens of drying beds to accommodate their growing membership. With 630 members between the two washing stations, they’re looking forward to continued growth and success. This lot, #6, from Nano Genji is bright and refreshing, with bold citrus and fruity notes that instantly remind us of cherry-limeade from Sonic or peach green tea on a warm spring/summer day. |

La Barba Coffee With a bright and pleasantly crisp acidity, fruit flavors such as green grape and apple produce a clean first couple sips. Gradually, the cup becomes sweeter, fruitier, and lends a subtle floral note, still maintaining an enjoyably vibrant acidity, making this one of Jijon’s most impressive coffees. |

Mr. Espresso West Java is quickly making its mark in the coffee world. Only about 15 years ago, the Indonesian government launched an initiative to lease private land to local farmers for coffee farming, aiming to protect the area’s lush forests from logging. The forward-thinking programming has transformed the region into a hub for exceptional coffee production. Part of Mr. Espresso’s limited-edition Collezione di Caffè, this washed micro-lot comes from West Java’s Cipaganti Village. Collected directly from small farmers, coffee varietals include Catimor, Tim Tim, Typica, and Gayo II — all grown at high altitudes of around 5,700 feet. For this fully washed coffee, ripe cherries are pulped, dry-fermented for sixteen hours, and then thoroughly washed. The coffee is then placed in a solar dryer, until the optimum moisture content is reached.While washed coffee processing is traditional to the region, it had fallen out of favor as producers transitioned to meet a demand for wet-hulled coffees made popular in neighboring Sumatra. The Mr. Espresso sourcing team was exceptionally impressed by this coffee’s vibrancy, showcased by the region’s traditional processing method. Java Gunung Tikukur offers a complex cup, with flavors such as peach, toasted almond, and basil. |
