Fellow's Take on Black & White x Brandywine Back-to-School Coffee Box | Brew Recipe

 

Here's how we brewed these pair of unique coffees created by Brandywine and Black & White to evoke back-to-school nostalgia, packaged in an adorable lunchbox.

A pair of coffees designed to evoke lunchbox staples from super-creative roasters Brandywine and Black & White. You’ll get:

🥪 6 oz of PB&J: a blend of nutty natural process coffees from Uganda and Brazil, and a grape co-ferment from Colombia for all that jammy goodness.

🧃 6 oz of Juice Box: a sweet combo of four co-fermented coffees from Colombia with notes of mango, peach, and red fruit.

🌎Origin: Brazil, Colombia, & Uganda

💦 Process: Various

🔥 Roast: Medium-Light
