- Dark Matter Coffee Can: 16th Anniversary Blend$5.00
Dark Matter Coffee blended this with a honey-processed Sarchimor from the Bressani Family at Finca San Jeronimo Miramar. The mill team has been working on improving the cup quality of this coffee, and we're loving the results. The skin of the coffee cherry is removed, leaving all the jammy, sweet mucilage on the bean to ferment, creating a full-bodied, sweet cup. Together these coffees are a perfect pairing of both the relationships we have and the coffee profiles of these two beans!

One of our most popular food-pairing beers, or worthy of a hearty "prost!" on its own.
