Organic Bloom Blend

Bloom is back! This year, it's a vibrant tribute to spring, brought to life by fresh-crop coffees from our longest-standing partnership: Fondo Paez. Expect a lively interplay of flavors— bright and crisp nectarine and a golden sweetness of toasted almonds, finishing with a refreshing citrus tone that sings of the season's renewal.  This year’s blend is more than just coffee—it’s a reflection of spring’s promise, a bright and joyful reminder of longer days ahead. At its core, Bloom highlights the exceptional harvest of Colombia’s Fondo Paez Cooperative. For over 17 years, their coffees have been integral to our offerings, consistently delivering depth, complexity, and character.  At Wonderstate, we believe great coffee starts with strong relationships. Just as plants thrive with care, our partnerships with producers are built for the long term. Our commitment goes beyond sourcing remarkable coffee—it’s a pledge to mutual prosperity, ensuring transparent and steadily increasing pay for the farmers who make it all possible.  Like all our seasonal releases, Bloom is a reflection of what’s fresh and in season. So throw open the windows, let the spring air in, and savor a cup that embodies renewal, growth, and the beauty of the moment.  

Fondo Paez Cooperative: A Partnership Rooted in Legacy

Our relationship with Fondo Paez is the longest and most enduring producer partnership we have. For nearly 15 years, the remarkable coffees grown by this dedicated group of farmers have been the backbone of our single-origin program and the foundation of our sourcing philosophy.  

In 2004, Wonderstate co-owner TJ Semanchin took a leap of faith, traveling to meet Fondo Paez during a time when Colombia was deeply affected by conflict between the government and FARC guerrillas. He became the cooperative’s first-ever coffee buyer, and with that visit, a lasting partnership was born.  

Today, the 550 farmers of Fondo Paez remain steadfast in their mission: to grow high-quality, ecologically responsible coffee while strengthening their community’s future. As the largest Indigenous group in Colombia, the Paez people have worked tirelessly to reclaim their ancestral lands since gaining constitutional recognition in the early ’90s. Through coffee, they are building not only a sustainable economy and environment but also safeguarding their cultural traditions for generations to come.
