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 | Originally served as a hearty breakfast or even a main course, cobblers were born out of necessity in the late 19th century when British settlers in Colonial America found themselves lacking the necessary equipment and ingredients to make their familiar suet puddings and traditional pies. Instead, they placed stewed fruit in a deep dish and poured a batter of sorts directly on top of it, which gave the appearance of an uneven cobblestone street after it had been baked. In addition to satisfying their craving for something from home, fruit cobblers had the added benefit of being much easier and more convenient than rolling out a pie crust, too. 

 

By the mid-20th century, fruit cobblers had transitioned from a colonial breakfast staple to a beloved dessert at the American holiday table. Cherry, which was one of the first fruits introduced by settlers in the 1800s, remains the most popular cobbler variety to this day. As we sought inspiration from the Thanksgiving table this year, the memory of a warm bowl of oozy cherry cobbler topped with melty vanilla ice cream was one which we simply couldn’t pass up. The sour-sweet stewed cherries, the doughy baked top sprinkled with cinnamon, and the whole bowl drenched in creamy vanilla – these are the sense memories we sought to recreate in a single sip.

 

HOW WE DID IT | In our efforts to make cherry cobbler a suitable choice for breakfast once again, we blended four coffees from five amazing producers, including one thermal shock experiment, a classic Ethiopian natural,  and two unique co-fermets:

  • 30% Jhonatan Gasca – Thermal Shock Pacamara (Huila, Colombia)

  • 30% Hanan Million Getachew – Natural (Guji, Ethiopia)

  • 25% Esteban Zamora – Cinnamon Anaerobic (Tarrazú, Costa Rica)

  • 15% Shady Y Elias Bayter – Vanilla (Tolima, Colombia)

 

HOW IT TASTES | The worst part about having cherry cobbler at Thanksgiving, is that we’re often too full from the main meal to fully enjoy this delectable dessert. But, those woes are put to rest in this cup, which can be enjoyed first thing in the morning or while partaking in the dessert itself! Notes of cooked cherry and pastry are complimented by vanilla cream, reminding us of bringing a spoon full of those same flavors to our lips. Zamora’s familiar cinnamon co-fermented coffee is remarkably restrained in this blend, reminiscent of a healthy sprinkling of cinnamon sugar atop our cobbler a la mode.
