Fellow Drop - The Future Peach Tea
Description
The Future has been a beloved staple on our year-round menu for quite awhile now. 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.
HOW WE GOT HERE | It’s no secret that we love co-fermented coffees here at Black & White. We also love big, loud flavor profiles - and lucky for us, those two things usually go hand-in-hand! However, we are well aware that not everyone is so keen on those punchy flavor notes, so we started searching for a way to showcase co-ferments in a way that’s more approachable and nuanced. After several experiments, we landed on a blend of five Colombian coffees that drinks as easy as peach iced tea.
HOW WE DID IT | To create this lovely expression of a summer staple, we blended five coffees from Colombia, including three co-fermented lots from some of our favorite producers:
-
50% - Wilton Benitez - Caturra
-
20% - Unblended - Developmental Lot
-
15% - Elkin Guzman - Strawberry
-
10% - Brayan Alvear - Lemon Bourbon
-
5% - Sebastian Ramirez - Peach
TAKE A SIP | The result is just plain… pretty. Subtle and integrated, the flavors in this coffee are certainly tropical, but turned down a few decibels from our standard Future series fare. Fresh peaches and oolong tea make for a delightful flavor pair on the palette, while an aroma like pink florals brings everything together in lovely, tea-like harmony.
