Full flavour, caffeine-free

A nod to the founders' early days of café-hopping together: a balanced Costa Rican, a fruit-forward Colombian advanced ferment and a sweet Rwandan Red Bourbon. Caramel sweetness, ripe plum and red berries with a lively, refreshing finish. Built for the morning flat white, with enough character for the rest of the day.

From Roberto Mata Naranjo, whose Tarrazú family has grown coffee since the 1950s and who founded the M+M Pura Vida processing operation with his wife and children in 2017. One of Routes' first Regenified-certified lots, verified for soil health, water quality, biodiversity and nutrient density. Caramel up front, finger lime through the middle and ripe plum on the finish.

Routes' boldest blend: Brazilian Catuaí with Ugandan SL28 for deep dark chocolate, rich cocoa and molasses-like sweetness. Full-bodied with a long finish that holds up through milk; made for espresso, iced or hot.
