Weekly Roasts: Single O and Special Guests
Discover two newly released coffees: a juicy wash processed Colombian roast from Single O, and an expressive natural processed Panamanian roast with a distinctive profile from Special Guests.
Dear coffee lovers,
As a designer, I love deep diving into intentional creative work. Lately, a few architectural finds have stood out to me: The PL Peace Tower (1970) by Tokuchika Miki, The Mitchell House (1959) by Calvin Straub, and a striking modern besso—a Japanese countryside retreat—by Rei Mitsui. Each offers its own unique sense of space and purpose.
I also discovered Bouquet, a brand brilliantly positioning itself as “syrups for grown-ups.” Their bold, flavor-driven infusions are free of artificial ingredients and specifically crafted for cafes and cocktails.
For Weekly Roasts, we’re featuring a juicy, washed Colombian coffee from Single O in Sydney, Australia, and an expressive, natural Panamanian coffee from Special Guests in London, England. Let’s dive in! 👀
