orchard thief is a blend of caturra beans from ethiopia, colombia, and peru, processed using anaerobic fermentation, which involves sealing the coffee in oxygen-deprived tanks before drying. that process amplifies the fruit-forward character you get in the cup: peach, stone fruit, honey, and honeycomb flavors that lean sweet and ripe. because anaerobic coffees carry a lot of inherent sweetness and complexity, they respond well to brew methods that highlight clarity and sweetness, such as pour-over or aeropress with a slightly lower water temperature, around 90 to 93 celsius, to avoid pushing bitterness over the fruit.
