Cinnamon Coffee
We met Aundray, from Magic Mountain Goat Coffee, at the Columbus Coffee Festival in 2023. On that Friday, we were excited to be setting up for the weekend, because we knew we'd get to see a lot of you there too! Plus, it was one of those rare Ohio days where the sun was out, it wasn't blazing hot, and there was a light breeze. While we were putting up the tables, Aundray was friendly and came over to find out about us. We quickly discovered that he is someone that very much loves their craft, had an open mind about coffee, and was very creative.
We decided that we wanted to collaborate on something. His specialty is that he immerses his coffee in fruit juices. In order to collaborate with him we had to make it fit with traditional Vietnamese flavors. Our honey arabica coffee is often our wild card coffee, and we love to come up with creative things to do with it. We have sold it dark roasted, flavored with cognac, and its always in our Saigon blend. The goal was to give him 20 pounds of it to flavor. First, we did samples of rum soaked, coconut, cinnamon, & coconut & cinnamon. We instantly loved the cinnamon flavor. It's an intense cup; so much so that we had to add the light roasted honey arabica to balance it. Give it a try, we can't wait for it to brighten your day! 😀
