About: A couple months ago, we were able to serve this at a festival and the reactions were priceless. This coffee is truly a hit. Really lovely notes of cinnamon and gingerbread, but not overwhelmingly so or in an artificial way. We were truly impressed by how well balanced this coffee is for everything going on with it.

From Unblended: Part of the Recruitment’s mission is to find new younger producers in the regions we are working with and build a constant demand for the rest of their single origins which will later be their own brands. With this Holiday blend we wanted to continue with this mission of bringing along newer generations to the program and at the same time make them part of the holiday by adding some of Sebastian Ramirez Cinnamon coffee. This is a coffee that was build with 20% Sebastian Ramirez Cinnamon from Quindio and 80% Recruiment Lot from Antioquia and Cauca. It’s a balanced cup, with the best attributes of the Recruitment: full and rounded body with a cinnamon and ginger flavor that will stay in your mind like a Christmas dessert!
