This Spring heralds the return of our seasonal filter blend — Takao Blend! Inspired by our founder Thomas’ 3rd-runner-up winning blend at the Takao International Coffee Competition, this season we looked to bring forth sweet floral and tea-like qualities to ring in Lunar New Year, resulting in an aromatic cup with notes of kumquat, lavender and pu-erh tea.
