New Guinea Highlands
Ganache, herb and jackfruit is an odd, interesting trio. This washed Papua New Guinea coffee is roasted dark with high body. Note it comes ground for drip only, though Peet's also recommends French press, so buy whole bean if that's your method.
Pick it if ganache, herb and jackfruit sound good to you.
Best for Drip and French press drinkers wanting something offbeat

Molasses, pipe tobacco and dark chocolate. If that list makes you lean in, you're the target. It's a dark roast of washed Rwandan coffee from 1,800 to 1,900 meters, and the roaster suggests drip and pour-over. Organic and direct trade, too.
Pick it if molasses, pipe tobacco and dark chocolate sound good to you; organic matters to you.
Best for Dark-roast drinkers who like it deep, with molasses and pipe tobacco
