Counter Culture’s new winter blend “Iridescent” has arrived! I’m excited to put this one into circulation— right after this bag of Foundry from Mad Goat. Notably, Counter Culture isn’t in line with my goal of only buying coffee from roasters less than “2 hours away” from my home in IL, but one diversion doth not a mortal sin make. In coffee, anyway. Your soul’s your own business.

I’ll be brewing this at 11/220 with my Aeropress and I’ll do some V60 as well— I expect more weight from the Aeropress, but the V60 should reveal more of the fruity notes from this lighter roasted speciality.

I get unusually excited for winter/holiday blends. They highlight flavors I typically enjoy in coffee.
