Our annual creepy collab with Brandywine returns! This year's Felloween installment is an anaerobic natural from Ethiopia's GERA Estate in the Djimma region. It's a hauntingly smooth cup that's packed with fruit and just the right amount of complexity. We tasted grape, mixed berries, candied sweetness, and a whisper of wine. This coffee doesn't just wake you up, it possesses you.
Beware: Todd Purse's exclusive spooky bag art is back to haunt your counter!
