A coffee blend inspired by one of our favourite seasons, Autumn. As we begin to see trees turning orange and the last of the fruit ripening on our trees we wanted to create a blend that reflected the flavours of the beautiful fruits we have been enjoying.
The primary driver of fruit character is the Costa Rica Finca Don Jose, an incredible microlot from the Heredia Region. Finca Don Jose is a Natural process coffee boasting a Costa Rican hybrid varietal called Villa Sarchi, a dwarf bourbon mutation occuring naturally in the region. Finca Don Jose tastes like jammy stonefruit specifically apricots and we've combined that with another unique coffee from the Wush Wush region of Ethiopia. This is a washed process ethiopian that brings a clean fruity and floral profile to the cup.
The label artwork draws inspiration from our seasonal southern home, featuring an Eastern Barred Bandicoot (who we think looks like a pretty stellar native easter bunny stand in), and Tasmania's only deciduous tree species, Fagus. Illustrated by local artist and Villino team member, Tilly Thorne.
