FROM THE ROASTER

THIS IS SEY'S FIRST YEAR WORKING WITH THE COFFEE FROM MATE MATIWOS, AND THEY ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THE LOVE AND INTENTIONALITY THAT WENT INTO BRINGING IT TO THEM. HAND-PICKED AT PEAK RIPENESS, FLOATED, DE-PULPED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF MUCILAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT ON, AND DRIED ON SHADED BEDS WITH THE MUCILAGE INTACT. IN THE CUP: BERRIES, TROPICAL FRUIT, AND BERGAMOT.
