Festin’ 2023

Festin' is back!! We are so excited to be approaching festival season. With all the live music festival schedules set to get under way, we can't wait to share this blend with everyone.

As in years past the blend consists of fresh crop colombia and per. The colombia portion is a collection of lots from various small farmers in the tolima region. This coffee is great, with a really nice sugary acidity, notes of apple, caramel, and a creamy mouthfeel. The peru aspect of the blend is also a collection of small lots from various small farmers in the chirinos region in cajamarca. Sharing notes of caramel with colombia, peru also has flavors of orange and cocoa.

Be sure to follow our festin' playlist on spotify curated by the local artists collective, glbl wrmng.

glbl wrmng aims to produce a series of collaborative projects, music recordings, and workshops that not only foster a spirit of collaboration and unity amongst the young artist, and music business community. glbl wrmng will serve as a vehicle that promotes, educates, and supports this exciting and diverse sector and provides a range of commercial opportunities, and practical help to members, enabling them to innovate, grow, and break into new markets of entrepreneurship within the music and entertainment business, and beyond.

Whether it's Jazzfest, French Quarter Fest, or Bayou Boogaloo there is a ton of live music to see this spring. In the words of our famous radio station WWOZ “Get out there, and support some live, local, music!” (While drinking Festin’ of course)  Things like Mardi Gras, and Festival season are what make the culture of New Orleans, so regardless of where you are, this is the perfect blend to sit on your porch and be outside! 

Festin’ is back!!

We are so excited to finally be approaching a proper festival season. Festin’ at home was fun, but nothing beats the real thing.

With all the live music festival schedules set to get under way, we can’t wait to share this blend with everyone. The original idea for this blend is that it is bright and juicy to match the vibe of the festival season. As we move out of carnival season, we wanted to celebrate the change in the weather and the sun coming out!

As in years past the blend consists of fresh crop Colombia and Peru. The Colombia portion is a collection of lots from various small farmers in the Huila region. This coffee is great, with a really nice sugary acidity, notes of apple, caramel, and a creamy mouthfeel. The Peru aspect of the blend is also a collection of small lots from various small farmers in the Chirinos region in Cajamarca. Sharing notes of caramel with Colombia, Peru also has flavors of orange and cocoa.
