Organic Revelry Holiday Blend

Winter in the Driftless casts a brisk brilliance across our ridges and coullies. Frost bites the air, snow gathers in along the ridge lines, and sunlight beams reflective radiance, making our quiet pastures glow. Even in the deepest cold, this landscape hums with possibilities: our quiet hospitality, a steady warmth that lives beneath the surface. It’s a season for drawing close, raising a glass, savoring friendships and family, and receiving joy in the small bursts of brightness that carry us through the darkest season. 

To honor that spirit, we crafted Revelry, a holiday blend designed to feel like stepping inside from the cold: comforting, celebratory, and full of light. Expect tones of figs, dried citrus, warm and nostalgic, lifted by sweet and floral black tea and a mulling spice finish that lingers like the glow of a woodstove at dusk.

This year’s Revelry is built from two fresh-crop Ethiopian coffees, both sourced from the remarkable Worka Chelbessa Washing Station in Gedeb. Blending washed and natural lots allows us to bring forward the best of both expressions, highlighting the vibrance and clarity of washed Yirgacheffe alongside the lush fruit depth and elegant sweetness of its natural counterpart. In the cup, you’ll find a combination of fresh and dried fruits, layered aromatic spice, subtle floral lift, and a finish that intertwines dark chocolate and black tea.

We’re grateful to partner with SNAP and the smallholder farmers of Worka Chelbessa who steward garden plots of heirloom varieties, their craft and  This is coffee that feels festive not because it’s sweet and rich, but because it carries a sense of care, place, and celebration.

Revelry is our toast to winter, a coffee that’s spirited, luminous, and made to be shared. May it warm your mornings, brighten your gatherings, and bring a little shimmer to the season.

Worka Chelbessa Washing Station

Both coffees this year come from the renowned Worka Chelbessa Washing Station.  As well as being a washing station, Worka Chelbessa is also one of the area’s largest and most vibrant kebeles, long celebrated for producing coffees with astonishing clarity and fruit complexity. Here, heirloom Ethiopian varieties, the very genetic backbone of Arabica coffee as we know it, have been nurtured for generations, passed between farmers as living heritage rather than commercial seed. Small, garden-like farms steward the history and flavors of Ethiopia that remain just as brilliant today as hundreds of years ago. 

At the Chelbessa Washing Station, over 480 smallholder farmers deliver ripe cherry grown on tiny family plots, where coffee trees are often intercropped with false-banana, maize, and towering shade canopies. SNAP’s team oversees meticulous selection and processing, ensuring every lot reflects the region’s pedigree: lifted aromatics, crystalline acidity, and an elegant sweetness that lingers.

This lot brings together two distinct expressions of Worka’s terroir. The natural-process component, dried whole on raised African beds and turned frequently in the sun, concentrates flavors into rich layers of ripe berries and tropical fruit. The washed portion highlights the classic signatures of Yirgacheffe: black tea structure, stone fruit brightness, gentle floral tones, and a clean, citrus-tinged finish. Combined, the profile is both generous and refined: a stunning representation of place, craft, and community.

Behind it all is care and labor that’s often unseen: farmers sorting by hand, station workers managing delicate drying stages, and a shared commitment to quality that shows up unmistakably in the cup. This is coffee as cultural memory, agricultural precision, and pure sensory joy.
