This season's Chair's Choice: Featured through late summer — roasted fresh after you order, just like everything we make. When the season turns, a new origin takes the chair.

Kintamani Highlands, Indonesia · Medium-Dark Roast · 1,200–1,600 MASL · Wet-Hulled · Bourbon, Typica, Catimor

In the shop, the hot towel isn't the cut. It's the indulgence — the warm, enveloping wrap that turns a service into an experience, the part you don't get every single visit. This is that cup. The heaviest, warmest, most enveloping pour in the lineup, and as a seasonal Chair's Choice, it's exactly that treat that isn't always on the counter.

It comes from inside a living volcano. The Kintamani Highlands sit in the caldera of Mount Batur, where centuries of eruption built a soil so rich it barely looks like dirt — and the families who farm it work under a Balinese spiritual code older than the coffee trade itself, intercropping their beans in the shade of orange groves. That's not a metaphor. The orange-peel brightness in the middle of this cup grew there. The signature wet-hull process — the one that stains the raw bean its namesake blue — builds a thick, syrupy body no other method can touch.

Baker's chocolate up front. Orange peel through the middle. A juniper note on the second sip. A long molasses finish that keeps the cup interesting to the last drop. Volcanic, velvety, and gone when the season turns.

Featured through late summer. When the season changes, a new origin takes the chair.
