Background Info: We found this coffee late last year on our first ever trip to Colombia. This fantastic coffee comes from Planadas, in Tolima, where the producers have been making changes to improve the quality and consistency of their coffees through better tree care, picking better cherries and investing profits into the farm infrastructure. The coffee is mostly of the Caturra variety, grown between 1,600 and 2,000 MASL, and semi-shaded by beautiful plantain trees. The it's washed and dried on raised beds. It's also certified organic and will soon be certified by the Rain Forest Alliance. Flavor Notes: Tangerine, Raisins and Sweet Dessert Wine

Background Info: We're excited and proud to bring you a coffee out of a country from which you don't see a lot of coffee. The coffee comes from two washing stations in Hutwe and Bukununu - villages in Congo's Kivu region. The washing stations are owned and operated by small groups of around 50 farmers each. The farmers each pay around $50 to get training and equipment by a Belgium NGO. These Bourbon coffees are hand picked before pulping. Fully washed and dried on raised beds where a second picking occurs. Flavor Notes: Sweet plantains, green grapes and pink grapefruit

Also known as Pai Mu Tan or White Peony, this tea hails from China's southeastern Fujian province. This superb organic tea is made from the uppermost two leaves and a bud, plucked in early spring and withered and dried in the sun before the buds are able to open. The leaves of this organic tea from China are green with plenty of buds that show a very light green almost grey white color, covered with a delicate velvety down. The pale yellow infusion has a delicate lingering fragrance, and a mellow sweetly vegetal taste

Se Chung Tea is a blend of several loose-leaf, oolong tea leaves produced from plucks of several different plants. The leaves are naturally withered under the strong sun, oxidized until brown with green highlights, and then wrap rolled into small beads. The Se Chung Oolong tea has a roasted aroma and a thick, woody flavor. It is a great tea for those who enjoy a complex taste and have an adventurous palate. Se Chung translates in Chinese to "colorful variety". That's a spot on description of our oolong hailing from the Fujian Province. Shades of green, brown, black can be found in a single teaspoon of the tea! Naturally presenting a hint of sweet, this tea is lovely hot or iced. Due to the leaves being rolled, this tea is ideal for 4+ infusions

Our own blend! Black tea, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, peppercorn. It's spicy and works well with milk
