1000 Faces Coffee
Winter Solstice

Solstice season returns! The Winter iteration of Solstice is named for the beginning of the Winter season and the longest night of the year, when Earth’s North Pole is tilted furthest away from the Sun. This offering is built specifically for accompanying quality time with loved ones throughout the holiday season and celebrating the return of gradually longer days as we traverse the depths of Winter. We first created Winter Solstice by settling on a target flavor profile. Our vision was to embody warmth and comfort - think gingerbread, apple pie, and hot cocoa. This blend was created with all brewing methods in mind, so it’s guaranteed to shine any way you brew and always please a crowd! This season we’ve arrived at a two-part combination of two very different coffees! Each one, however, brings unique elements that synchronize to create a very sweet, structured coffee, which is equally complex as it is approachable. The Mexico component, Jose Cienfuegos, lays a strong foundation of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and baking spices. The natural Ethiopia, Checho, receives a slightly more developed roast for Winter Solstice; and because of this, we’ve found the predominant flavors shift more into the realm of cooked fruits - think berry cobbler or apple pie - which boosts the overall perception of sweetness. We hope you think it’s as cozy as we do! We taste: apple pie, fig, raisin, orange peel, mulled wine, brown sugar, molasses, baking spice, gingerbread, pecan pie, hazelnut chocolate, dark chocolate.
