El Gato Blend
Dark chocolate, baked apple and plum sounds like an autumn dessert. This Brazil and Colombia blend is washed and direct trade, and Intelligentsia recommends it for drip and pour-over. Good company for a slow weekend morning.
Pick it if dark chocolate, baked apple and plum sound good to you.
Best for Drip and pour-over drinkers who like chocolate with fruit

Cinnamon is the note that jumps out, next to light milk chocolate and stone fruits. A washed Bourbon peaberry from Kilimanjaro, grown at 1,494 meters, roasted medium. Cinnamon and milk chocolate, soft, if the listing is right. Comforting, on paper.
Pick it if cinnamon, light milk chocolate and stone fruits sound good to you.
Best for Drinkers who like cinnamon and milk chocolate in a cup
