With it, we have been able to showcase excellence in processing techniques, particularly in regard to anaerobic and co-fermentation endeavors. Our goal with each of these unique blends is to elevate flavor as the guiding principle for each creation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHOW WE GOT HERE | \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWhen it comes to flavor, we're well known for being pretty nostalgic around here. There's a good reason for that: our memories are tightly woven into our senses, with taste and smell being the chief sensory gatekeepers of our past.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eWith this release, we celebrate the nostalgia of our lip-stained childhood in all of its grape-flavored goodness. From hard candies to slushies to cough medicine, our whole youthful world was enthusiastically GRAPE flavored. But, if we had to pick our favorite grape indulgence, it's gotta be the one we begged our parents to buy for us on road trips, any time they dared to stop at a gas station - grape soda. Whether it be Crush, Nehi, Faygo, or Fanta, we loved all things purple and fizzy. Not much has changed, honestly - many of us still reach for a fountain grape soda when given the opportunity, while others enjoy the same sensory experience these days in the form of Lambrusco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-aa776740-7fff-5906-7e9f-2878925738f8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHOW WE DID IT | \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eFinding the perfect grape co-fermented coffee to headline this blend was a bit of a challenge this year, but we found our victor in one of Jairo Arcila's special co-ferment creations. Jairo makes another special appearance here with his lychee co-fermented lot, sharing space with one of Shady \u0026amp; Elias's famed Marlin lots and a very special honey-processed Pacamara coffee from Mexico. Those four coffees make up 60% of the blend and contribute to most of the fun flavors you'll experience, but it's all held together with a lovely, delicate washed Ethiopian lot from smallholders in the Riripa community, in West Arsi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e40% Riripa - Washed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e30% Jairo Arcila - Grape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e10% Jairo Arcila - Lychee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e10% Shady \u0026amp; Elias Bayter - Marlin Lot 556\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e10% Mexico - Pacamara Honey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTAKE A SIP | \u003c\/b\u003eWe'll say it one more time for the people in the back: this cup \u003cem\u003etastes like nostalgia.\u003c\/em\u003e We're calling it Grape Soda, and it's certainly reminiscent of that. But it also reminds us of other grape-flavored goodness from our youth, like grape-flavored Jolly Ranchers and old school Dimetapp. This time around, the blend offers other fruity goodness as well, reminding us of mango candy and red fruit punch. It's a true celebration of so many childhood sense memories, and we are delighted to share it with you this summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e___________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins |\u003c\/strong\u003e Colombia | Ethiopia | Mexico\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eco-ferment | honey | washed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety |\u003c\/strong\u003e various\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"12oz","offer_id":50818621800761,"sku":"BWSO-FUT-GS12","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":50818621833529,"sku":"BWSO-FUT-GS02","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":50818621866297,"sku":"BWSO-FUT-GS05","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/THeFutureGrapeSodaOnlineCard_4x_053b9b5d-b266-4812-a9c7-4c8770ddad49.png?v=1749046243","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/r-the-future-grape-soda","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
