Flavor Profile

Every Limited Edition release offers something different. These coffees are selected for exceptional cup quality and distinctive flavor—often showcasing vibrant fruit, layered sweetness, unusual aromatics, or remarkable clarity and complexity. Because each release comes from a different origin, varietal, and process, the flavor profile changes with every lot. See the current release for its specific tasting notes and roast level.

Why Choose This Coffee?

Our Limited Edition coffees are for customers who want to experience coffees that stand apart from our regular offerings. We source particularly highly rated single-origin coffees in very small quantities, typically producing only 8–15 bags per release. Most score above 88 points, with many reaching into the 90s. Once a lot is gone, it may never be available from us again—making each release an opportunity to explore an exceptional coffee while it lasts.

More Details

Throughout the year, we seek out small micro-lots, auction lots, and other exceptional coffees that give us a reason to depart from our regular lineup. Selection is based first on cup quality, but we also look for coffees with a compelling origin, unusual varietal, distinctive processing method, or other characteristic that makes the lot worth experiencing on its own.

Many releases feature natural (dry) or honey processing, which can produce pronounced fruit, sweetness, and complexity compared with more traditional washed coffees. Others may be exceptional washed coffees distinguished by their varietal, growing conditions, processing, or simply extraordinary cup quality.

Whenever possible, we select coffees with meaningful traceability to the farms, producer communities, cooperatives, or processing stations responsible for them. Each release includes its own origin, processing, tasting, and production details so you can know what makes that particular coffee special.

Because we purchase and roast these coffees in extremely small quantities, availability is intentionally limited. A typical release may consist of only a handful of finished bags.

Brewing Recommendations

Ideal for multiple brew methods, with the best preparation depending on the character and roast level of each individual release.

• Drip Coffee: An excellent starting point for experiencing the overall balance and character of each Limited Edition coffee.
• Pour Over: Often our preferred method for fruit-forward and highly complex lots, emphasizing clarity, acidity, and individual tasting notes.
• French Press: Adds body and can emphasize deeper fruit, chocolate, spice, and sweetness.
• Cold Brew: Particularly interesting with naturally processed coffees, often producing concentrated fruit and exceptional sweetness.
• Espresso: Suitability varies by release. Some coffees make fascinating single-origin espresso, while particularly delicate or bright lots may be better suited to filter brewing.
• AeroPress: A versatile choice that can highlight both concentrated sweetness and flavor complexity.
• Single Cup Brewing: A convenient option that works well with most releases; adjust coffee dose and brew strength to suit the individual roast.
