If you've visited our cafe in Portland over the past few months, you've been drinking our Bangarang blend on espresso and often on drip. This is our house blend for a reason. It's smooth and familiar with enough surprising spikes of flavor throughout the pallet to spark imaginations. Marty Lopes has done a fantastic job creating a creamy, stable blend while leaving room for flavors of floral peaks, patisserie spices and fairy dust. For anyone who has ever misplaced their shadow.

"Both the Mexico and Ethiopia have a creamy texture on the palate and present intense flavors from opposite ends of the flavor spectrum. The Juquila Lachao brings bold semi-sweet chocolate, browning sugars and baking spice elements, while the Kayon Mountain offers berry jam, cacao nib and a hint of florality." - Marty Lopes, Roaster
