Introducing our limited Winter Nights Special Edition, from two of our most beloved origin partners: Finca Churupampa (Chirinos, Peru) and CPNCK (Idjwi Island, DRC). The cheeky combination makes for a smooth, slightly sweet, slightly earthy cup o' joe to keep you warm through blustery winter nights. A balanced omni-roast, these beans will be suitable for almost any brewing method... a perfect gift, you may say ;).
Brew up a warm one, dream of Lake Kivu or the Peruvian hills, and stay cozy late into the winter night.

More on the two partners in crime that made this special edition possible:
Finca Churupampa (Chirinos, Peru)
The Tocto family has turned Finca Churupampa from private farm into a social enterprise that has helped shift much of its community out of subsistence farming into more strategic, sustainable, high-quality coffee production. These are forward thinkers with their eyes on a coffee future of groovy, impactful things like soil regeneration, natural fertilizers, and compost programs.
CPNCK (Idjwi Island, DRC)
Stunted by their remote location and lack of infrastructure, coffee farmers on Idjwi resorted to smuggling their crop into neighboring Rwanda for decades -- a dangerous ordeal with little payoff. In 2013, local growers formed the island's first cooperative -- CPNCK -- and finally began selling their coffee independently. Driven by their mission of securing a more peaceful, independent future for the island's youth, the cooperative has made a serious name for itself amongst specialty buyers over the last several harvests. In the process, they've basically eliminated the island's illicit coffee trade and improved the livelihoods of thousands of farmers and their families.
