Bay Dreamer Seasonal Espresso

We are a bunch of California dreamers, and from the earliest days of Ritual we’ve attracted more than a few like-minded innovators. Mixing in our Valencia Street shop like fish in the Bay, caffeinated and wild-eyed, many of the area’s boldest and brightest have come together and helped create the future – and not just with technology. Art, music, literature, journalism, politics – the dreamers of the San Francisco Bay Area congregate under our flag to join the sea change in coffee as they work on the next revolutionary concept that our little corner of the world will be known for. 

Right now, Bay Dreamers yearn for beach days and concert nights, movies with friends, more water, less fire, more flow and less fight. With a vision of a better future swirling in our heads, we present a stimulating expression of what’s possible – in espresso form for quick intake. 

Big ideas take big espresso, a whale tail of a wallopin’ fresh flavor current to spirit you along toward your most lucid dreamscapes. Combining fresh coffees from Brasil, Guatemala, and Ethiopia in equal thirds – this is the real deal.

About the Components:

1/3 Esperança, Brasil
1/3 Hunapu, Guatemala
1/3 Kolla Bolcha, Ethiopia

The natural process coffees of Esperança work excellently as a syrupy sweet base for outstanding seasonal espresso blends. Full-bodied and chocolatey, the Esperança blends well with almost any coffee paired with it. Adding the high notes to Bay Dreamer are the coffees from the Hunapu Producers of Antigua, Guatemala. Their washed, eco-pulped Bourbón variety coffees are bright and citric; a pleasant contrast to the heavier profile of Esperança. Finally, giving floral and berry complexity to this espresso is the traditionally washed heirloom lot of Kolla Bolcha, hailing from Oromia, in western Ethiopia. Together, these three coffees highlight what we love in espresso – syrupy sweetness, clean fruit flavors, and amazingly complex floral aromatics!
