Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Coffee
Kona, Extra Fancy grade, grown at 460 to 610 meters. The notes read floral, citrus and nutty, roasted medium. It's a gentle, balanced-sounding list rather than a bold one. Washed, kosher, 16-ounce bag.
Pick it if nutty sounds good to you.

Apollo is always Ethiopian, always washed, and Counter Culture roasts it medium. The notes read citrus, floral and silky. That's a lighter, cleaner profile than most medium roasts promise. It's organic and kosher, and the bag carries its roast date.
Pick it if silky sounds good to you; organic matters to you.
