Fellow's Take on Olympia Coffee Northwesterly Dark Roast | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this dark roast blend that has all the comfort and warmth of a well-worn flannel shirt, roasted by Olympia Coffee.

This blend of Indonesian and Latin American coffees is inspired by the Pacific Northwest’s specialty coffee scene: warm, comforting, and nostalgic. We tasted a full-bodied cup of dark chocolate and spices.

🌎Origin: Indonesia & Latin America
