Each year we set out to create an exciting new version of our Festivity Blend for the holidays. We began working on this special holiday blend in the spring by sampling, tasting, and blending various coffees then repeating this process over and over until we discovered a remarkable flavor profile. Our goal each year with the Festivity Blend is to create a unique blend that is greater than the sum of its parts; a harmonious blend that kindles a sense of holiday warmth, coziness, and cheer. The first component comes from the mountainous region of Alotenango, Guatemala. This coffee is produced by Luis Pedro Zelaya Aguirre. It is harvested and wet milled by Candelaria Estate and dry milled at Bella Vista. The second component comes from Costa Rica Sonora Estate in the West Valley, owned by the father-son team Alberto and Diego Guardia. We have had the pleasure of working with and sourcing coffee from the Guardia family for over ten years. The third coffee comes from the Sidamo region of Ethiopia, bringing a crisp body with a nuanced finish, and vibrant fruit notes. Guatemala Candelaria and Costa Rica Sonora Estate have been staples in our Dharma Espresso Blend for many years, but never together. Together they blended seamlessly, and with the balanced addition of a fruity Natural Ethiopia Gora Kone, you'll find this coffee comes together harmoniously. The honey and natural processed coffee bring a depth of body and mouthfeel to the coffee, which is perfect for a rich and cozy blend. As the holidays approach and winter arrives, we look forward to the simple pleasures of enjoying a comforting cup of coffee with friends and family. We hope our Festivity Blend gives you and your loved ones a holiday season full of bliss and comfort.
