TASTE NOTES

Panettōn Holiday Blend Coffee Taste Notes: pastry crust, dried fruit, caramel, citrus peel, sweet vanilla

ABOUT PANETTŌN

The traditional Italian holiday cake panettone is a staple in our book of flavor calls when tasting coffees. That’s what inspired this cheerful blend of some of our fan-favorite coffees. In the spirit of celebrating relationships and loved ones, Panettōn includes coffee from some of our longstanding partnerships with producers, mills, exporters, and importers. Together, they create a profile reminiscent of shortbread, dried fruit, citrus peel, and sweet vanilla.

COFFEES IN PANETTŌN FOR 2024

We’ve worked with the mill and exporter Los Volcanes in Guatemala for many years. Once again, we’re excited to feature one of their coffees in Panettōn. This year, it’s a mixture of coffees from the three farms they offer that we like to call Tres Volcanes. The three farms they operate are named Finca Esperanza, El Potrero, and Finca Patzibir. All three of these farms focus on sustainability through soil health and coffee cherry waste reduction.

After loving the coffee from Origin Coffee Labs for the previous three harvests, our green buyer ventured to Peru to the first time. San Miguel is what Origin calls a comité — a group of neighbors whose coffees share varietals, processing methods, and taste profiles. Forming these groups helps producers connect and bring their coffees to the specialty market. First, Origin evaluates each delivered lot to at its collection station to assess its cup quality.  Next, buyers share tasting notes, scores, and notes about milling loss with farmers. Then, they make an offer for the lot, which the farmer usually accepts.

Our five-year partnership with Sookoo Coffee in Ethiopia brings us a third harvest from a farm group in Bookkisa. Sookoo operates several drying stations in the Guji zone of the Oromia region, incentivizing quality by paying farmers pre-negotiated higher prices for coffee cherries. Sookoo aims to revitalize the land and community by replanting native trees, offering training and financing for farmers, and schooling for kids. 

Panettōn is our way of honoring the partnerships that bring us great coffees. We hope it helps you celebrate special relationships this holiday season.
