One idea. Its giving banana bread energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBoth lots come from Juan David Puerta at La Sirena farm in Quindío, same variety, same farm, same 140-hour whole cherry anaerobic fermentation. After that extended window, each lot is depulped and finished as honey process separately: one gets a natural banana concentrate, the other gets natural spice extracts. Then they come together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt sounds like a lot. In the cup, it makes complete sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe honey process on both lots preserves enough fruit sugar and mucilage to give the blend a soft, rounded body that holds the two profiles together naturally. The banana brings sweetness and a tropical, candy-like character. The spice brings warmth, depth, and that cardamom note that keeps things from going fully into dessert territory. Together they land somewhere between banana bread fresh out of the oven and a cardamom bun with an inexplicably good aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the cup, banana leads with a smooth, concentrated sweetness; think dried banana rather than fresh, followed by warm cardamom buns and a bit of an unexpected note of whacky bubblegum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWe didn't choose this Coffee...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one started with our good friend \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Booj over at Ahh Coffee in Ottawa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe took our Banana and Spiced co-ferments, started playing around with them together, and landed on a blend that tasted way too much like banana bread to ignore.
