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% Puente Tarrazu from Costa Rica and 50% Huehuetenango Smallholders from Guatemala.
Well rounded, we're finding the Puente Tarrazu gives ample chocolate notes and creamy textures beautifully complemented by the stone fruit flavours and pleasant acidity of the Huehuetenango Smallholders. A deliciously balanced cup, this blend is forecast to last until January.
