2025 FREEZER SALE UPDATE (2025-12-17):

From Christopher: This is the only coffee that shares the exact same profile as its original release—having been roasted on the same day and using the same machine. Blue fruit shifts to red hibiscus as it rests with citrus acidity, dense structure, velvety body and caramel sweetness—this is everything I want in a washed Typica from anywhere in the world.


The twelfth and final coffee of our 2025 season comes from a single producer in Mazeteca in Oaxaca, Mexico—a washed process  presenting in a bright, fruited cup with notes of pomegranate, hibiscus, lime and melon. 

From Christopher: "Specialty coffee's fascination with transparency information is one that, I believe, arises from noble intentions. By identifying a producer—by name and by face—and telling their history with a record of the price they were paid for their coffee, we seem to believe we're closing the distance that coffee travels through complex supply chains across the world.

While transparency can serve as a tool to mitigate concerns of financial exploitation by showing that a 'fair price' was paid, the way we report it may lack sufficient context by which a consumer could make a determination around fairness or equity. Further, while bridging the gap between consumers and producers can help producers access a broader, more specific, more competitive market and thus receive a better price, it's also possible to levy criticisms against this practice—particularly if it relies on tokenization of a producer's image to sell coffee or imply a closeness or relationship that doesn't genuinely exist. That is to say: good intentions don't protect against all possible scenarios or contexts.

"In some situations, using imagery or details about a producer to market a coffee—with sufficient specificity to identify them locally—can create risks to their security and safety, particularly when the price paid for a coffee is dramatically out of step with the local price in places with limited government participation in daily life. In these contexts, we explore the tension between consumers’ and roasters’ desire for transparency and the practical realities of working in and buying from conflict zones—places torn apart by war, politics and history.

"There, to hold the fabric of communities intact, sometimes we must not stand apart, but stand together.

"Sierra Mazateca in Mexico is one such context that requires careful consideration as well as an understanding of the problematic history of encounters between indigenous communities and outsiders, security threats from narcotraffickers and federales, and the social risks posed by operating outside the local norms. After the collapse of the ejido system of land use under President Carlos Salinas de Gortari's neoliberal 'reforms,' many indigenous communities moved into the highlands—intentionally far from the reach of government, and in lands too inaccessible for exploitation by the government or corporations. Most of the communities don't speak Spanish—instead speaking Nahuatl or Mixtec or Zapotec or Maya or Mazatec—and the difficulty of navigating the terrain compounded their isolation, making accessing or aggregating coffee as difficult as the importance of those communities maintaining internal social cohesion and preserving their cultural identity.

"After the ICA collapsed, so too did prices for coffee—which by 1983 accounted for 35% of Mexico's agricultural exports. The Coordination of Coffee Grower Organizations estimates that as a result of the ensuing coffee crisis, Mexican coffee growers would have lost 65% of their potential revenues since the start of the crisis. As a result, 71% of coffee growers stopped using fertilizers, 40% reduced pruning, and 75% stopped investing in control of pests, leading to lower qualities, yields and resiliency ahead of the coffee leaf rust outbreak in Latin America in 2012.

"In response, many of the coffee growers in Mexico—who today number more than 500,000, 85% of whom are indigenous and with 95% growing coffee on fewer than 3 hectares of land—organized into informal cooperatives or otherwise collaborated to mitigate their risk and attempt to access the best price for their coffee.

"Buying coffees like this one in the way it was purchased—outside of those cooperative structures and bypassing local coyotes who have operated as virtual monopolies and suppressed prices and capturing any premiums paid themselves—is difficult, requiring the building of trust over years and a delicate hand. If the price paid were to be discovered locally it could incite jealousy, theft or, in some cases, violence—or merely break trust and the social contract in the community, eroding longstanding social bonds as well as access to market for those communities.

"And so we present this coffee under an assumed name—and without a portrait. It's not merely an act of respect—it's in keeping with the spirit of the agreement we've made with the third-party agent whose relationships we rely on to access coffees in these communities and whose staff on the ground must maintain their own networks of trust. 

"In the end, we have a coffee that is able to speak for itself: an old rootstock Typica processed in a traditional manner that presents in the cup with fruited notes of dried raspberry, pomegranate, hibiscus, lime and bright orange acidity."

Hard to fill and time consuming but fun concept
Color: Green
Cute and fun concept for my dog. He enjoyed pulling out the strips and getting the treats it was hard to shove the pieces back in after rolling treats into it. I used small training treats and it still made it bulky and hard to shove back in. If the strips were shoved too far in it’s hard to get it out. I was suprised my 120 lb malamute didn’t rip the treat strips so the quality of the fabric holds up well. The ball material itself is thick and quality and he didn’t rip the rubber apart either. The strips once out seemed difficult for him to unroll and he lost interest after pulling a few out and he enjoys his other puzzle toys more.

Behold, the Dog Snuffle Ball—a toy so ingenious, so joyous, it might just be the pinnacle of canine entertainment! This isn’t merely a toy; it’s a symphony of stimulation, a carnival of enrichment, and a therapist rolled into one delightful ball of wonder. At first glance, it appears unassuming—a soft, colorful orb that’s almost too cute to resist hugging yourself. But the moment you tuck treats or kibble within its folds, magic happens. Your dog transforms from a curious onlooker to an intrepid explorer, embarking on an epic quest for buried treasure. It’s as if their primal instincts awaken, and suddenly, they are the Sherlock Holmes of the snuffle world. The brilliance of the snuffle ball lies in its multifaceted benefits. It’s a mental workout, sniffy fun, and slow feeder all rolled into one glorious package. Training your dog’s sense of smell? Check. Keeping them occupied for hours? Double check. Preventing boredom and destructive behavior? Oh, you bet. Watching your dog experience pure, unbridled joy as they unravel its mysteries? Priceless. And let’s talk versatility: This marvel isn’t just for dogs. Cats, rabbits, and even the occasional curious human (yes, I’ve tested it myself!) can find delight in its interactive design. Its soft, durable material ensures that pets of all sizes and ages can join in the fun without fear of injury or wear. The snuffle ball is also a hero of stress relief. For pups prone to anxiety or mischief, it channels nervous energy into productive play, transforming would-be chewers of shoes and shredders of cushions into happy, focused furballs of contentment. To the masterminds behind the Dog Snuffle Ball, I offer a standing ovation. You’ve created a toy that’s not just fun—it’s transformative. It turns every mealtime or treat session into an adventure, fostering happiness and health in our beloved companions. The verdict? Every pet needs this toy. Not some, not most—every single one.

Great puzzle, even better complimentary squeaky carrot
Color: Red, Color: Red
Our dog is a Jack Russell mix and needs near constant interaction. In the winter, it gets so cold that we can't always get him out for long enough periods of time to satisfy his poor bored little brain. I've tried so many puzzles. He gets frustrated and bored quickly, and ends up just barking at them. One game that he loves in winter though, is what we call "the blanket game" and it's when we hide one of his favorite toys in an old blanket, wrap it all up, and then let him loose to find the toy. He can play this game over and over, for over an hour if we have the energy. So, when I saw this ball, I knew I had to try it. He loves it. He begs me to let him have it at least once a day and it gives him a good 5-10 minutes of play. He'd play it more if I let him have that many treats, haha. But I had to say that, true to form, his REAL favorite part of the puzzle ball was the complimentary carrot toy that came with it. He is obsessed with the carrot. He carries it everywhere. It goes to bed with him. He never loses it, always knows exactly where Carrot is. He even knows the word "carrot" now, after only a week or so of having our dear, beloved Carrot. I can ask him, "go get Carrot," and he brings it right to me. It is the only toy he ever brings me now. The squeaker is long dead, he killed it within the first couple days, but he still chews it relentlessly, listening for the little air puff sounds it makes now. So anyway, the ball is great. Love it. But the carrot? Is an epic find. I included a picture so you can see how utterly filthy it is from how much he loves it (don't worry, it's going in the washer). Thank you for this random carrot. It might be the best thing to happen to our weird little family this winter.

Basic Starter Puzzle, But Not Very Durab
Color: Red
This toy is more like a level 1 puzzle—it doesn’t take long at all for my 1-year-old, 5 lb Papillon to figure it out. The ball part is sturdy enough, but the cloth sections are very soft and not durable. I worry about him tearing into it and possibly swallowing threads, so I only let him play with it under close supervision. If you just need a simple puzzle to introduce your dog to enrichment toys, this could work. But if you’re looking for something that lasts longer or provides more of a challenge, this isn’t it. Pros: • Works as a very basic starter puzzle • Ball portion is fairly sturdy • Good for quick enrichment sessions Cons: • Cloth material is soft and easy to damage • Requires close supervision to prevent chewing or tearing • Not challenging for dogs beyond beginner level Overall, I’m giving it 3 stars. It does the job as an entry-level puzzle, but it’s not durable and doesn’t offer much mental stimulation. UPDATE: The company reached out after my review and provided good customer service, which I really appreciated.
