Selection

The Picky Chemist is one of my favorite roasters in the world. There is a lot of hype surrounding his drops, but we feel that it's very justified. Stephane has a full time job, and this is really only a passion project for him. We're huge fans of his work and are always thrilled to be working with him.

 

Roast Profile: Ultralight. He roasts on a stronghold and has a very light profile. Not quite as light as XLIII or Shoebox, but still decidedly UL with a solid intensity of flavor. My favorite Stronghold profile.

Resting Guideline: Stephane doesn't believe in resting, so he does not rest his coffee. In general though, I do rest his coffee 4-6 weeks before brewing.

Why did we bring this coffee on?

This is a really nice release with slightly larger quantities of each selection than we typically have for TPC - but still quite limited! Check out all of the offerings below!

What is a weekly release?

It’s a one off feature with a specific roaster. Weekly releases are separate from the subscription. This way you can try coffee from us without subscribing! We also offer some high end and ultra rare lots through this that we wouldn’t be able to feature on our subscriptions.

Do I need to subscribe to purchase the weekly release?

Nope! Weekly releases can be purchased as standalone coffees, no subscription required.

When will my weekly release order ship?

Shipping timelines vary by roaster and international transit. We send weekly email updates so you always know where your coffee is in the process. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter.

What does “presale” mean?

Our weekly releases are sold before the coffee arrives in the U.S. This allows us to source rare international roasters that don’t normally export here. They are roasted to order and we provide an ETA for each release through our newsletter.
