Zuria Blend
Concord grape, plum and apricot.
Prodigal's seasonal blend of fresh Ethiopian coffees, washed and natural, with a washed Chiroso from Colombia. The washed Ethiopian gives elegant fruit, the natural adds tropical punch and the Chiroso brings balance. A zesty, big-flavoured cup they settled on after many cuppings.
