Ethiopia Duromina
Apricot, lemon zest and honeysuckle. That's a bright, fruit-and-flower list, and a light roast is how Verve keeps it that way. Heirloom varieties from Agaro, washed and roasted to order. If you take your coffee black and like it lively, start here.
Pick it if apricot, lemon zest and honeysuckle sound good to you.
Best for Black-coffee drinkers who want fruit and florals

Pick it if oatmeal raisin cookie, jasmine tea and ruby red grapefruit sound good to you.
