In the spirit of our love for the Tasmanian Wilderness and the critically endangered Orange Bellied Parrot, we've once again partnered with Wildcare Tasmania to donate 10% of all Summer Blend sales to the Friends of the Orange-bellied Parrot (OBP). These brightly coloured birds, featured on the bag's label, return to Melaleuca in southwest Tasmania to breed every summer. This year, we're stoked to introduce a massive Summer Giveaway campaign to support the fundraiser, and customers purchasing a bag of Summer Blend will have the chance of finding one of 165 Orange tickets, and entering the draw to win in over $1000 of prizes. Last year, there were 165 Orange-Bellied Parrots counted in the wild in Melaleuca.
This year’s blend brings together some of our favourite African origins. Burundi Kayanza Washed is the backbone, giving the cup its body and sweetness and steering the profile into stonefruit territory. Kenya Maguta Supernatural adds big, fruity sweetness on top of that, and our ever-reliable Ethiopia Guji Washed lifts everything with florals, bright acidity and extra aromatic layers. Expect plenty of apricot and cherry!
