INTRO

Summer in a bag. The Future Summer Slush is Black & White's seasonal five-coffee blend, built to taste like everything you want on a hot day — and pulling it off spectacularly. Fruity, sweet, and thoroughly refreshing from first sip to last. In the cup: blue raspberry, cherry popsicle, lemon Italian ice, and peach rings.

THE COMPONENTS

🇪🇹 35% — Mulugeta Muntasha Natural, Arbegona, Ethiopia The backbone of the blend — a natural Ethiopian from one of Sidama's highest-altitude producers, bringing the fruit sweetness, berry depth, and aromatic complexity that anchor the blend's vivid character.

🇨🇷 20% — Lica Torres Black Cherry Natural, Rivas, Brunca, Costa Rica Lica's signature Black Cherry process — deliberately over-ripened cherries, a mid-drying storage fermentation, and a concrete-bed finish — contributing the cherry popsicle sweetness and dark fruit depth that run through the blend's core.

🇨🇴 20% — Jairo Arcila Dragonfruit, Armenia, Quindío, Colombia A co-fermented lot from one of Colombia's most celebrated processing families, bringing vivid tropical vibrancy and the blue raspberry and exotic fruit character that give this blend its most playful notes.

🇨🇴 18% — Jhonatan Gasca Pacamara, Bruselas, Huila, Colombia From the Gascas at Zarza Bella Vista — Pacamara adding structure, body, and the lush stone fruit sweetness that fills out the blend's mid-palate and holds everything together.

🇨🇴 7% — Jairo Arcila Lychee, Armenia, Quindío, Colombia A second Arcila co-fermented lot, this time lychee-infused — contributing a delicate tropical brightness and the peach rings sweetness that lift the blend's finish.

Each component was chosen not just for its individual merit but for what it contributes to the whole — together they deliver something genuinely greater than any one of them could alone.

THE CUP

A vibrant, sweet, and thoroughly summer-ready five-coffee blend from one of North Carolina's most creative and thoughtful roasters — blue raspberry vibrancy, cherry popsicle sweetness, lemon Italian ice brightness, and peach rings confectionary finish. Built for iced pour overs, cold brew, and fruity flat whites. Everything you want from a warm-weather coffee, delivered without compromise.
