STAFF PICK

Aroma Borealis!

Available October through February, this complex and colorful blend of coffees from Africa, Indonesia, and Central America is the perfect defense against Michigan’s winter weather. Aroma Borealis is a warming brew with a mouth-watering aroma and a rich, full body. Vaguely sweet and spicy, it has a low but snappy acidity and subtle hints of chocolate.
