Introducing a sparkling special edition filter coffee to brighten up your chilly winter mornings. Fruity and fun, these beans remind us of tropical bubblegum. Pop!
Sourced from the inspired folks behind Great Lakes Coffee, who bring together many of the disparate smallholder farmers dotting the remote slopes of Mount Elgon. Deeply committed to price transparency, GLC has established their MaxTrace program to meticulously track the precise origins of all their green beans to specific farmers, even down to the half-acre. They generate price transparency and impact reports through MaxTrace that not only provide buyers like us with traceable data, but also help small farmers better understand the market for their cherries and adjust their operations accordingly. Add that to workshops on agro-business, water management, sustainable intercropping practices, and waste re-usage... GLC walks the damn walk.
Brew up these puppies on a batch brewer or as a more delicate V60, Aeropress, or Chemex and take trip to paradise.

For the nerds: these beans come from GLC's processing station Sironko, as part of their "Strato Berry Micro-lot." Extended drying leads into a 24-hour fermentation period to draw out a particularly juicy, fruit-forward profile.
