The Inspiration
Created in collaboration with Outkast, Stankonia celebrates Atlanta’s cultural impact and the freedom to make something that stands apart. This coffee is about honoring where we come from while pushing forward, just like the music that inspired it.
In the Cup
Stankonia brings together coffees from Rwanda and Colombia, blending experimental natural and washed processes for balance and depth. In the cup, expect crisp green apple and ripe strawberry sweetness, rounded out by a brown sugar finish. Roasted at a medium level, it’s versatile and shines as drip, pour over, or espresso.
