San Sebastián
Honey, lemongrass and lime: this one leans zesty. It's a light-roast washed Honduran grown at 1,700 to 2,000 meters and bought direct trade. Alma sells grinds for drip and pour-over, and with notes this bright, a filter brew is where it makes the most sense.
Pick it if lemongrass and lime sound good to you.
Best for Pour-over and drip fans who like citrusy cups

Tangerine, honey and vanilla custard: expect dessert in a mug, with a citrus edge. A washed Pacas from Santa Barbara, grown at 1,650 meters and roasted light. Verve roasts to order and sells it ground for espresso or drip as well as whole bean.
Pick it if tangerine and vanilla custard sound good to you.
Best for Light-roast drinkers with a sweet tooth
