#1 This MonthCedar Coffee Roasters
Colombia Zarza Anaerobic Natural
Still my number one. A rare Wush Wush from Jhonatan Gasca’s Zarza project that tastes like three different coffees depending on how you brew it — bright Grapetizer on filter, tropical pineapple as espresso, and a peppermint-tart dessert with milk.

East Coast Coffee Co
Ethiopia Geisha
East Coast’s Ethiopian Geisha is pure elegance in the cup — jasmine-like florals, a silky tea-like body and a clean, lingering sweetness. A special-occasion coffee that rewards a careful pour-over.

Bluebird Coffee Roastery
Potosi Tres Dragones & Las Margaritas Red Bourbon
I couldn’t split these two Bluebird Colombians, so they share third place. The Potosi Tres Dragones is a deep, boozy rum-and-raisin natural, while the Las Margaritas Red Bourbon is all bright cherry, red apple and rose florals. Two beautiful sides of the same farm.

YAAWK
Flow State — Steady State Blend
My everyday, never-lets-you-down cup. YAAWK’s Steady State is a comforting washed blend — chocolate, almond and vanilla bean — that’s equally happy as a morning espresso or an afternoon flat white.

Organic All African Espresso Café Blend
Proof that a brilliant everyday coffee can come from your grocery run. This organic All-African blend marries washed Tanzanian Arabica with floral Ethiopian Sidamo for a silky, balanced cup with a subtle mocha undertone — outstanding value.
