Blue Bottle Coffee
Oakland, CA, USA
We love this coffee for its ease, but its slinky complexity is what keeps us wanting more. Like many Colombian single origins, it has a sweetness that veers toward browned sugars and dried fruit. Yet it’s the presence of more herbaceous and floral notes tucked beneath that sweetness (we can’t help but think of chamomile tea), not to mention a vivid brightness, that imbues every sip with both comfort and wonder. Its source is the 2,000-member Café Occidente cooperative, which hand-selects 100 farmers' complementary washed-process coffees and combines them to make this gleaming cup.
