MUNCHIE: Colombia Anaerobic Honey

Munchie is back! And it's better than ever due to a fruitful and vibrant harvest this season. Munchie is the first release in our 2023 LOCO Series, which celebrates the crazy coffees coming out of Colombia.

* This version of Munchie is specifically roasted for Filter. We also have a different version of Munchie for Espresso *

In the cup, expect a balance of tropical fruit acidity and creamy sweetness wrapped into a velvety smooth mouthfeel. The dessert-like aroma reminds us of cheesecake.
