*Our upcoming roast is May 6, shipping by May 8*

This week we are happy to share our first coffee from Burundi! This clean natural is ripe with berries and red wine.

And our tremendous washed geisha from Wilder Lasso is still available for a limited time!

El Cairo Gesha is shining as our fruity espresso — Use code CAIRO5 to get $5 off a bag of either El Cairo or El Cairo Espresso with the purchase of any other roasted coffee.

We find our coffees peak at 3 to 4 weeks after roasting, so check out the rested options on each product's page. Orders of 'rested coffee only' ship by the next business day.
