With it, we have been able to showcase excellence in processing techniques, particularly in regard to anaerobic and co-fermentation endeavors.

But the aromatic holiday craft project we often fashioned at school or our grandmother's breakfast table is actually a centuries-old tradition that was historically used to ward off infection in the Middle Ages (and, perhaps less wholesomely, as a recovery charm in witchcraft). Though they have taken many forms over the course of their long history, a simple orange studded with cloves and adorned with ribbon is a preeminent image we associate with the holiday season\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (\u003cem\u003eand, it’s also the one that's most similar to the witchcraft charm... but I digress\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's that unmistakable aroma of spice and citrus that we remember most vividly from our childhood craft projects—and that is the very sense of memory we sought to recreate with this seasonal blend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW WE DID IT | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen we first endeavored to create this blend two years ago, it took over twenty recipes and six different coffees to get it right. It remains one of the trickiest blends we attempt all year, and this time around, we utilized some coffees which don’t, at face value, make a ton of sense. For example, Esteban Zamora’s beloved cinnamon co-fermented lot is an obvious choice for this blend, but Jairo Arcila’s passion fruit co-ferment is the unexpected star which serves to modulate the intense citrus character required to pull it all off. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere’s where we landed: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e40% Esteban Zamora - Cinnamon Anaerobic (San Marcos, Tarrazu, Costa Rica)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20% Jairo Arcila - Passion Fruit (Armenia, Quindio, Colombia)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20% Huver Castillo - Gesha (Buesaco, Nariño, Colombia)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20% Wilton Benitez - Chiroso (Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW IT TASTES | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVibrant and crisp, we are greeted by a concert of flavors the moment we take in the aroma of this cup, heavy with baking spices and orange zest.
