The Future has been a beloved staple on our year-round menu for quite awhile now. With it, we have been able to showcase excellence in processing techniques, particularly in regard to anaerobic and co-fermentation endeavors. Our goal with each of these unique blends is to elevate flavor as the guiding principle for each creation. HOW WE GOT HERE | Personally and professionally, the team here at Black & White has embraced a lot of change and experienced a ton of growth this year. We've welcomed new babies and bid farewell to old friends. We've hosted cuppings and throwdowns, birthday parties and barista competitions. We hosted friends from Colombia and Honduras, and they met us with great hospitality in our travels to see them. Through it all, there have been plenty of reasons to raise a glass—or, in this case, a mug. With today's release, we strive to encapsulate the spirit of a champagne toast. This was no easy task, given that champagne itself is bubbly, heavily aromatic, and served chilled. HOW WE DID IT | To accomplish this, we sought blend components that are vibrant and bright, full of florals and tropical fruit notes, and heavy on the citric acidity. After much deliberation and a lot of tinkering, we landed on five lots from five extraordinary Colombian producers: - Los Nogales: Mystic Flowers, - Rodrigo Sanchez Passionfruit, - Jhoan Vergara Pink Bourbon, - Huver Castillo Honey Gesha, and - Sebastian Ramirez IPA HOW IT TASTES | The result is a cup of coffee worthy of a toast! With a light texture, vibrant acidity, and fresh sweetness, it certainly encapsulates the spirit of something sparkling, special, and effervescent. The cup unfurls with floral aromatics, ushered in by the Los Nogales component. As the coffee slips through your lips, white flower scents meld with white grape acidity to convey sauvignon blanc. As true of this wine varietal, citrus rushes below the surface, alternating bursts of grapefruit, mandarin, lime, and lemon. At the finish, a surprising new note arises: like stone fruit but even sweeter, reminding us of peach rings.
