This is a light and bright blend that is described as unprecedentedly clean and provocative. It features flavor notes of honey, rose, and strawberry, creating what is described as a Starburst Fruit Chew profile. While some run this as espresso, it is recommended for slightly larger cup preparations like pour over. This was the first blend ever to win a Good Food Award.
Four Barrel Coffee is an independent, locally owned roastery in San Francisco that sources almost all of its coffee directly from third generation farmers and mill workers in Latin America, Indonesia, and East Africa. Roasting takes place on a vintage 1957 German machine, and the process is entirely manual, relying on highly trained people rather than computers to control heat and airflow. The roasting style is focused on cleanness, sweetness, acidity, and complexity. Four Barrel operates a pair of cafes in San Francisco and holds a partnership stake in The Mill.
