As the crops change, so do the components of our Red Brick, highlighting harvest cycles and celebrating the seasonality of coffee. We've combined the great fruit qualities from each component, and allowed the sweetness to shine.

Our current seasonal blend is a mix of 50% Durazno from Guatemala and 50% Santa Anita from Costa Rica, forecast to last until October.
From the Durazno we get sweet fudgey notes with a toasted almond finish, whereas the Santa Anita brings plenty of berries and dried fruits to round out the cup. This creamy composition is tasty in milk, as always, but delicious on its own too!
