And...we found our Flowers. For the past year, we have been exploring the personality of our most floral, bright and tropical blend. She is sweet and floral without leaning sour. We are in love. We are sourcing an amazing selection of coffees throughout the seasons (each is strong enough to be a single origin offering) and blending them to provide the consistency that we love in this blend. The result is a coffee that stays true to the personality of Flowers and yet shows the movements of the seasons and the new offerings of the world's best coffee regions.
