"VERGAL" [2022]

We have finally bowed to the relentless, ocean like force of Kiki, and we have a T Swiz inspired label. Kiki has been bugging me for what feels like decades now, which is impossible because SHE WAS ONLY BORN IN 2001! Kiki has been working with us since 2016 when she was a shy and softly spoken (hard to believe) work experience kid in the cafe. She must have been pretty good because she was offered some casual work and proceeded to spend every moment out of school hours working. Kiki has since done pretty much every job possible at Commonfolk, barista, front of house, functions, photographer, coffee roaster and now her true calling model. It would be nice to create a neat link between this Guatemalan coffee and Kiki, something like because it is a honey process it fits because Kiki is so sweet, but that would be a lie. The truth is however, this coffee is super tasty and Kiki has done a great job roasting it for you. Look for red currant, lemonade acidity and a brown sugar sweetness. Also big thanks to our friends at Coffee Bird for importing this coffee.
