Combined with a lighter Vienna roast makes for that perfect brew for your enjoyment this spring. Cupping notes (natural flavors) include: dark chocolate, citrus and coffee blossom. This is something special.  

$15.00

Mt. Meru coffee is available for purchase in the upper sanctuary. Orders placed by the 3 rd Sunday of each month will be available for pick up on the 4 th Sunday after Service.
