This seasonal blend is a versatile coffee designed for daily enjoyment. It combines 50% Brazilian beans from Ana Luisa Pellicer at Mio with 50% Ethiopian beans from Wubit Bekele. The Ethiopian component provides elegant, floral, and light notes, while the Brazilian beans add a sweet, caramel-like, and syrupy body. This medium-bodied coffee is balanced and smooth, featuring flavor notes of milk chocolate, caramel, and floral undertones. It is suitable for various brewing methods, including pour-over and filter coffee.
Girls Who Grind Coffee was founded in 2017 by Fi O'Brien and Casey LaLonde in Wiltshire. Fi, originally from Australia, handles brand and design; Casey, from upstate New York, is head roaster and a qualified Q Grader who has been working in coffee since 2006. The roastery sources exclusively from women coffee producers. Through their Cheek to Cheek initiative, 10% of all retail coffee sales goes directly to the women farmers and producers they work with, on top of fair pricing for the green coffee itself. Casey roasts on a Giesen, developing profiles on an IKAWA sample roaster. Each retail bag features an illustrated portrait representing the spirit of the producer, designed by Fi and her husband.
