coffee for dessert
Just like a hologram reveals astonishing three-dimensional images, our Hologram blend creates an abundance of complexity in your cup. This captivating blend always includes a thoughtful combination of natural-sundried and washed processed coffees from our long-term partners in Africa and Latin America. The natural-sundried coffees provide punchy fruit notes and a full body, while the washed coffees add layers of pastry and rich chocolate to unlock a world of flavor that surprise and delight with every sip.
Whatever your preferred brew method, grind the whole beans immediately before brewing for the freshest cup of delicious coffee every time. We recommend 1 gram of coffee for every 17 grams of water for most brewing devices. Experiment with using more or less coffee to find the perfect brewing ratio for you. Check out our brewing guides to get the most out of your coffee.
