Crafted to bring people together, the Holiday Blend celebrates the festive season with rich, warming flavours. This year, 5% of all Blend sales will directly support the company’s partners Suke Quto, a coffee farm in Ethiopia’s Guji region featured in this blend. Funds raised will go toward the Suke Quto School Project, which aims to enhance local schools by providing desks for students in the community.
