This blend brings together coffees from Ethiopia, Uganda, and Rwanda, using both washed and natural processing to showcase the range of East African character. The natural lots contribute berry sweetness and body, while the washed components bring brightness and floral clarity. Together they create a cup that moves between citrus, berry, and floral notes, each origin lending its own accent to the blend.

Blue Bottle
Founded by James Freeman in the early 2000s in Oakland's Temescal District, Blue Bottle began when the former clarinetist started roasting coffee in a 186-square-foot converted potting shed, gradually building a cult following for his meticulously crafted single-origin coffees. In 2017, Nestlé acquired a 68% majority stake in the company in a deal valuing Blue Bottle at over $700 million, though the brand maintains its focus on quality and craft coffee culture.
