Here's how we brewed this very special collab with southern hip-hop icons Outkast, created by Atlanta’s Portrait Coffee.

Outkast teamed up with Atlanta’s Portrait Coffee to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their breakout album Stankonia. This coffee is designed to evoke the rhythm, flavor, and funk of the album, with each sip taking you back to hearing it for the first time. We tasted brown sugar and green apple.
