Set: Fruit Basket Flavor Set

Our "Fruit Basket Flavor Set" features 1 lb of four different coffees that display big fruit flavors at the front of the cup. The coffees chosen for this set don't just have fruited accents. Rather, "fruit" is a central theme, and each one showcases unique ways fruit notes are manifested in coffee flavors.

The way coffee is processed from cherry to seed can have a big impact on flavor, and is certainly the case for some of the more fruity coffees we taste. As such, this set will often feature dry process coffees, and the occasional anaerobic fermentation. But don't think wet processed coffees are out of the picture. Kenya, Ethiopia, and even Colombia are consistent sources of some of our fruitier wet process coffee, which we will feature when available.

Our 4 lb Fruit Basket Flavor Set includes 1 lb each of the following coffees:

El Salvador Dry Process Finca San Luis: Pulpy fruit notes bring a rustic edge to deep-toned bittersweetness, while low-acidity and thick body heighten the intense flavors. Cherry wine, fermented berry, tanned leather, earthy cacao, lingering finish.

Ethiopia Dry Process Kercha Haruse: On the "light and bright" end of the spectrum for dry process coffees, clean fresh fruits, citron essence, yuzu, and mandarin, lightly floral, fragrant black tea. Makes an excellent pour-over brew.

Kenya Kiambu Spike AA: Moderate intensity, vibrant structure, tangy flavors, and a sweetly-spiced aroma that lingers in the aftertaste. Brown sugar, maple, dried tamarind, cranberry, fruit tea, citrus, clove gum.

Uganda Dry Process Mount Elgon: Fruit-toned profile, natural dried peach and apricot, date rolls with coconut, and tamarind. Bittersweet as it cools, rustic dark chocolate, leathery accent, finishing hints of Masala and saffron. City to Full City+.
