Dear coffee lovers,

Welcome back to Weekly Roasts! Before we get started, here’s a few findings that piqued my interest this week. Hope you enjoy:

  • M35’s first look at their work on Nike’s new Calling All Runners campaign.

  • USM Haller’s experimental configurations of their modular furniture systems, currently on display at their Shanghai showroom.

  • Canyon Coffee’s limited-edition artist series coffee bags in collaboration with the renowned JB Blunke Estate.

Ready for this week’s new roasts? We’ve got two standout coffees: a refined, washed Ecuadorian Typica Mejorado from POMA COFFEE in Copenhagen, Denmark, and a lively, natural Panamanian Gesha from Verve Coffee Roasters in California, USA. Let’s dive in! 👀

The daily sipper

Finca Soledad from POMA

Finca Soledad

  • Roaster: POMA COFFEE

  • Origin: Imbabura, Ecuador

  • Producer: Pepe Jijon, Finca Soledad

  • Variety: Typica Mejorado

  • Notes: Strawberry Cotton Candy, White Peach, Tropical Fruit, Florals

Note from the roaster:

Finca Soledad is owned and run by José Ignacio “Pepe” Jijón—a former Ecuadorian mountaineer now devoted to coffee farming with deep environmental purpose. On a recent research trip we explored his shading, leaf analysis, and foliar nutrition practices and were able to secure a few exceptional lots, including this Typica Mejorado Florcita.
