ECHELON 2026

The berry note in this washed Ethiopian is so clean it almost drinks like tea, and I've been brewing it as a pour-over every morning since it arrived. Two weeks in and the bag's already half gone, which says enough.

First sip tastes like they actually nailed the rare cultivar thing—there's this layered sweetness that shifts as it cools, which I didn't expect from a bag this size. I've been brewing it as my daily pour-over for a week and it hasn't dulled, which is rare for me to admit about any coffee.

I cracked open the bag on a slow Sunday morning and the dry aroma alone hinted at how much work went into sourcing these rare cultivars. It brewed up incredibly sweet and complex, easily the most interesting cup I've had from a subscription in months.
