A new chapter for our longest coffee partnership! 🇬🇹

We are thrilled to end our Anniversary month in a high note, introducing our sweetest coffee yet— our new Poaquil Anaerobic Honey! This exceptional coffee offers a cup bursting with sweetness and complexity. From the very first sip, you’ll be greeted with juicy, sweet dark cherry notes, layered with rich toffee undertones that unfold seamlessly into a smooth, velvety body. As you savor each sip, the experience lingers with a delicate, slightly fruity, dark chocolate finish that is both refined and deeply satisfying— both as a morning brew or as a mindful, flavorful coffee break in the afternoon!

This special collaboration embodies the evolution of our longest and most impactful coffee relationship. Since 2016, we’ve worked closely with the small farmers at CoOp La Asuncion in Guatemala, building a partnership rooted in trust, excellence, and the pursuit of greatness for our Ethos family! In that spirit, they’ve taken their post-harvest processing craft to an entirely new level by running an Anaerobic Honey process on their ripest Yellow Bourbon cherries for the very first time this year, and exclusively for our Ethos family. Without a doubt, the magic of this coffee lies in its meticulous processing: the ripest cherries were carefully hand-picked and partially de-pulped before undergoing a 48 hour fermentation in sealed tanks, allowing a controlled anaerobic fermentation process to partially break down some of the more complex carbohydrates into sweeter and more complex flavors. Once fermentation was complete, our beans were slowly sun-dried on raised beds, where they were turned every few hours for several days until reaching the perfect moisture content of 11%. This intricate method enhanced the cup’s natural sweetness and complexity, resulting in a profile unlike anything we’ve had before —and one we hope you’ll love!

We hope you won’t miss a chance to experience this one-of-a-kind coffee – and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts (especially if you found it particularly enjoyable in a specific method!). Thank you for making all our coffee adventures possible - we love Brewing Greatness with you,

💛 Jolian & Lisbeth

🥳 New Year, New Coffee!

As we embark on a new year filled with possibilities, we’re overjoyed to share with you our newest coffee: Huila! An embodiment of excellence, uniqueness, and impact that embodies our Ethos to change the world one cup at a time!

In the high hills of La Unión, nestled in the heart of Huila, Colombia, a small but determined collective of small farmers is quietly reshaping the future of their coffee community. Guided by a dream of a better life, they have cultivated a coffee that is as remarkable for its flavor as it is for its testament to the power of community and commitment to excellence.. Huila’s tasting notes read like a love letter to nature: honey, plum, and peach - lots of peach! Each sip is an absolute delight, beginning with the gentle sweetness of golden honey, transitioning to the lush ripeness of plum, and finishing with a crisp, bold bright note of peach. These flavors don’t just happen by chance; they are the result of meticulous attention to detail given to these Organic Caturra varietal beans, including a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation to enhance complexity and depth. This one is for the coffee enthusiast seeking something truly special, this one is for YOU, Ethos family! And we bought the entirety of this microlot and are planning to offer it mostly exclusively online (always including our subscribers, of course!) so we can make it last as long as possible!

We have no words to express our immense gratitude for yet another record-breaking year in 2024, so we hope this new coffee reflects our gratitude and commitment to always bringing you the best. This 2025 we really want to set a new bar on off-the-charts excellence, impact, and value - one that’s so compelling and memorable, that we hope you’ll proudly share with anyone who will listen! Our Ethos, our impact, our coffee is possible thanks to YOU - thank you for the LOVE Ethos family… we can’t wait to write this 2025 chapter with you!

P.S. We also recently re-imagined and made our Crema Espresso Blend even more delicious- keeping the sweet, nutty profile that you’ve always loved, yet adding more body and creaminess to the cup with the addition of high-grown Colombian beans, and a new direct-trade partnership! We hope you’ll give it a try and let us know your thoughts!
