Dreamland (Liquid Gold Edition)
MARZIPAN. JACKFRUIT. PORT.
Have you ever tasted a dream? Neither had we. Until this Colombian stunner crash-landed into our cupping table like a disco ball from space. Dreamland is not your usual subcontinental sip. It's a technicolour trip with vibrant jackfruit notes, port wine sweetness and wee touch of marzipan to bring the cup to a lovely balance.
Sourced from a passionate young coffee producer with extensive experience in the coffee industry, Edinson Argote, this Red Fruits co-fermented gem is named after a phrase that often follows us around Unorthodox HQ. Because in Dreamland everything gets done on time, in Dreamland everything always goes perfectly, and in fact, in Dreamland every coffee tastes as good as this one.
