Desert Bloom is what the desert gives you after the rain: wild, fragrant, fleeting. Fruit-forward and warm-spiced, dry-processed in the birthplace of coffee. Roasted daily in small batches in Gilbert, Arizona.

Dry process means the cherries dry whole on raised beds, fruit and sugar and all. Uraga sits above 2,300 meters, high enough that the cherries ripen slowly and the sugars have time to build. This lot graded out at 92.8, and it drinks like it: bright citrus up front, dark sweetness underneath.

Current lot: Guji Zone, Uraga woreda. Grade 1, heirloom JARC selections. Roasted daily in Gilbert, Arizona.
