This one leans fruity rather than bitter — the kind of cup that still tastes like tea, just with somewhere fancy to go.The blend mixes real apricot pieces and apple with a natural apricot flavor, plus a few marigold petals for color. Nothing about it needs explaining. It just tastes like an apricot orchard someone quietly steeped a good black tea in.No fancy equipment required — a basic infuser or strainer and a mug is all this takes. Steep it, pull the leaves, drink it. That's the whole process. More Than a MugThis blend makes an excellent syrup — and from there, an iced tea, a cold foam latte, a spritz, or popsicles.

Dessert weather, brewed daily. Bananas foster shouldn't require a flambé pan and a fire extinguisher on standby. This one gets you there with a mug instead — creamy banana, dark brown sugar and caramel, roasted nuts, a hint of cinnamon, and a rum-spiced finish, all built into a medium roast that tastes like dessert without the dinner reservation. Brew it hot with a splash of cream, or pour it over ice for something that eats more like a treat than a coffee break. Either way, it's still just coffee — the flavoring does the heavy lifting, no actual rum involved. Flavor notes: banana, dark brown sugar and caramel, roasted nuts, cinnamon, rum-spiced finish Available in Regular and Decaf Available in whole bean, ground, and single-serve pods compatible with Keurig 1.0 and 2.0 machines Zero sugar, zero sweeteners, no added carbohydrates — naturally keto-friendly No gluten added — not a dedicated gluten-free facility The Beans Medium roast, Brazilian bean base, 100% Arabica. Air-roasted to order using solar power — no drum roasting, no shortcuts. The banana, brown sugar, caramel, roasted nut, cinnamon, and rum-spice notes come from custom flavoring applied after roasting, not from the roast profile itself.

No added carbohydrates, naturally keto-friendly. No gluten added — this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. How to Brew Hot with a splash of cream is the classic move. For dessert mode, brew it strong, pour over ice, and add whipped topping if you're feeling it. It also holds up well as a cold brew — steep it longer and let the caramel and banana notes come through slow. FAQ Frequently asked questions about Bananas Foster Storm Coffee Is this coffee easy on the stomach? It tends to be, and there are a few reasons for that. We air-roast all of our coffee — unlike drum roasting, air roasting circulates heat evenly around the bean rather than scorching it against a hot surface, which generally produces a smoother, gentler cup. We also use a Brazilian bean base, and Brazilian beans are naturally lower in acidity thanks to the growing altitude and processing methods used there. Add a medium roast to the mix — longer roast time means less of the compounds that can irritate a sensitive stomach — and you've got a cup that tends to sit a lot easier than most. No guarantees, because everyone's different, but if coffee and your stomach have had a complicated relationship, this is a reasonable place to start. Do you offer a decaf version? Yes — Bananas Foster Storm is available in decaf. Same flavor, same air-roasted process, without the caffeine. Our decaf uses the Mountain Water Process, which skips the harsh chemical solvents. All the flavor, none of the 2am regrets. What's the difference between the bag and the single-serve pods? Same coffee, different format. The bag gives you flexibility on grind and brew method. The pods are 12-count boxes compatible with Keurig 1.0 and 2.0 machines — grab-and-go with no measuring required. Is this coffee keto-friendly? Yes — black coffee has zero sugar, zero sweeteners, and no added carbohydrates. The flavoring in this coffee adds no sugar either. Naturally keto-friendly as a factual spec, not a lifestyle claim. Does it taste sweet without adding sugar? Yes — the custom flavoring gives it a banana, caramel, and brown sugar character that reads as sweet without any added sugar or sweetener. Brew strength and what you add will shift how pronounced that is, but black out of the pot is genuinely good. What other coffees pair well with this one? If you're into flavored coffees that lean sweet and rich, our other dessert-inspired roasts are worth a look. Our snack line is also a natural companion if you want something to go with your cup.

The bonfire you didn't build this year, minus the smoke in your hair. Somewhere between the group text about camping and the actual trip happening, summer ran out. The tent's still in the garage. The marshmallows never left the pantry. That's fine — some years just go that way. Campfire Mocha brings the fire home without the packing list. Chocolate, toasted graham, and cinnamon carry the s'mores memory, with a butterscotch finish that rounds it out like the fire's just catching. The flavoring is added after roasting, not baked into the beans, so the chocolate stays honest and the coffee still tastes like coffee underneath it. Chocolate, toasted graham, and cinnamon with a butterscotch finish — flavoring added after roasting, never part of the roast itself Available in whole bean, ground, 12-count single-serve pods (Keurig® 1.0 and 2.0 compatible), and decaf via Mountain Water Process 100% Arabica, air-roasted to order using solar power Zero sugar, zero sweeteners, no added carbohydrates — naturally keto-friendly No gluten added — not a dedicated gluten-free facility Part of the August Picks limited release — when they're gone, they're gone, no dramatic countdown The Beans Campfire Mocha starts with our 100% Arabica, Brazilian-base coffee, air-roasted to order rather than drum-roasted.

Cold brew: coarse grind, 1:4 coffee-to-water ratio, steeped 12–18 hours in the fridge — a solid call if you'd rather have this one iced than by an actual fire.
