BRIGHTEN UP YOUR MORNING WITH THIS LATE WINTER BLEND When creating seasonal blends like Lake Effect, we aim to capture the feelings and flavors of the season itself, highlighting the beauty found within its elements. In the dead of Midwest winters, brief glimpses of sunshine remind us that spring isn’t too far off. Lake Effect is inspired by these warm, hopeful moments offering a welcome contrast to the doldrums of winter. Lake Effect features a harmony of two African components that come together as something greater than their parts. Karinga AA from Thika District, Kiambu County in Kenya is thoughtfully blended with Tamrat Alemayew from Gedeo, Gedeb in Ethiopia, delivering bright citrus and punchy stone fruit anchored by delicate florality. The cup shines with notes of blood orange, lemon curd, and apricot.
