We released these VERY small 60 gram bags at Cafe Collectif. We had sold out but had enough mini bags to make a few more so, here they are. Let it rip while they last. We WILL re-release this coffee in a larger format but the WHEN is still unknown. Vacuum packed in the freezer, we still have a small portion. : )
You should buy these and freeze them! ; )
One of the most beautiful, complex coffees of the year by our friend Wilton Benitez.
