EXP010: GINGERBREAD

WHY THIS COFFEE?

Let's get real about coffee prices: they're extreme. So, when we come across green that wows us, which this one did, it is not an immediate buy. But the price-quality ratio on this coffee was too good to pass up. And we think you'll agree.

Beyond price and quality, EXP010 hits our fall/holiday menu perfectly: gingerbread, cinnamon, and baking spices all throughout, with a really solid body rounded out by nice acidity. This one reminds us of EXP001, so it's a throwback to where it all started last winter. This time around we're offering it as espresso and pourover, so grab them both along with a bag of EXP009 for those fruity cups.
