How Rare Ground works
Rare Ground is our coffee of the month: one small lot, roasted and shipped through the month until it sells out. Buy it once above, or subscribe and get each month's lot as it lands. Next month is a different farm, a different cup.
In the cup
November 2026: Indonesia Flores Bajawa Ngura
Grown by smallholder farmers on the volcanic slopes of Mount Inerie, in the Bajawa highlands of Flores. Volcanic-ash soil and family farms that have grown Arabica for generations.
It's wet-hulled (giling basah): the parchment comes off while the beans are still wet, before drying finishes. That's where the heavier body, low acidity and earthy, aromatic depth come from.
Medium/dark roast. Rich cocoa, subtle citrus, earthy undertones. Full, smooth body. Use a French press if you want all of that body. It also makes excellent cold brew. Certification: conventional.
How Rare Ground works
Rare Ground is our coffee of the month: one single-origin microlot, picked because it's worth drinking and gone when it's gone. It's roasted to order and shipped through the month until the lot sells out. Then it's on to the next one.
Buy a bag once to try it, or subscribe and get whatever the new lot is each month without thinking about it. It comes in a 12 oz bag, in whole bean, drip or coarse; 2 lb and 5 lb bags are available on special request, and subscribers get priority on the limited quantity.
