Overview

Black & White had originally planned to offer this coffee in a cocktail-themed blend, but it was so striking that they released it as a single origin and we can taste why. Anaerobic fermentation is often compared to winemaking methods and innovative producer Ivan Solis combined it with washed processing, delivering results reminiscent of a crisp white wine. We also tasted strawberry, mint, mandarin, carnation, and deep red fruit, with a tropical fruit fragrance, a decadent body, and a sharp, juicy lemon acidity.

Fellow's Unique Selection Process

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it.

About Black & White Coffee Roasters

Black & White was founded in 2017 by two U.S. Barista Champions. Kyle Ramage and Lem Butler traded competition for collaboration, with a mission to create opportunities for other coffee professionals and make specialty coffee more approachable. They roast out of Raleigh, North Carolina and run three cafes in the Greater Raleigh area.

Brewing Guidance

Espresso Recipe

Start with a 1:2 ratio and a brew time around 24 seconds. Funkier coffees may require a longer ratio, sometimes up to 1:3. 

Filter Recipe 

Start with a 1:16 ratio. We tend to brew at or above 205°F with a total brew time of 3 minutes or under. We roast to maximize sweetness and solubility, so you can apply your favorite recipe! 

Special Notes 

We like to wait 14 days post-roast to brew our coffees at our cafes: the cup’s clarity will increase over time.
