Fellow's Take on Spice 'n' Such by PERC | Brew Guide

Real cinnamon, cardamom, clove, and nutmeg meet the natural sweetness of a meticulously roasted bean in the coziest cup of the year.

PERC spent over a year sourcing, testing recipes, and tasting with us to build this blend from two coffees: a cardamom co-ferment from producer Diego Bermudez and a cinnamon co-ferment from Sebastian Ramirez. The result is a coffee that tastes like pumpkin pie by a crackling fire.

We tasted cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and clove.

🌎 Origin: Colombia

⚗️ Process: Cinnamon co-ferment, Cardamom co-ferment, Advanced washed M-03

🔬 Variety: Castillo, Caturra

🔥 Roast: Medium

Note: Let it rest! This coffee should peak at 2–3 weeks off of roast.
