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! 👀

Arnulfo Leguizamo, owner of Finca El Faldon, is a legend in a lot of ways: the 2011 First Prize Winner at the Cup of Excellence, community leader who supports fellow farmers to improve their coffee quality, and inspiration to others - including his son, Diego. Alongside his father, Diego has trained as a cupper and has started to manage the farm, with dreams of being in charge of their multigenerational coffee business in the future.
