Fellow's Take on April's Costa Rica Volcan Azul | Pour-Over Recipe

Drop everything, it’s another Nordic coffee drop. A deeply fruity Costa Rican, delicately roasted in Copenhagen: Volcan Azul by April!

We chose this coffee not just because it travels exceptionally well—expect it at your door at prime brewing time—but it’s a sweet and well-balanced treat. With an intense berry fragrance and deep stone fruit notes, we tasted pomegranate, lime, rose, hibiscus, and a sweet-tart finish.
