Here's how we brewed this delightful daily drinker by Utopian Coffee.
Flying Jewel is the nickname for a hummingbird in the remote coffee-growing areas of Peru: a vital part of the ecological system. This blend combines coffee from Peru with Ethiopian and Sumatran lots to create a harmonious fusion of robust flavors. We tasted dark chocolate, red berries, and sweet cream.
