When Stars Align - Chicago Stars Collaboration

$26.00
Grind
Chicago Stars FC and Dark Matter Coffee are woven into the fabric of their communities, just like the six-pointed stars on the city's flag. Two icons of their craft, decades into a story that evolves beyond the pitch! From Martin Stadium in Evanston to the heart of Chicago; this blend was built alongside the team to provide a proper morning kick!

In celebration of the diverse communities we foster together, $1 from each bag sold will benefit the Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights. "Vamos Chicago!"

We were so excited to build this blend with members of the Chicago Stars!
The base of When Stars Align is a washed Peruvian coffee that comes from the Incahuasi region of Peru, nestled in the Andes Mountains in the southern portion of the country, not far from Cusco and Machu Picchu. When traversing areas that sit at 2,400-3,400 m above sea level, the coffee can be found growing in the valleys here that are still at a very high altitude. This coffee is paired with another one of the team's favorites from their tasting with us - a natural processed Bourbon and Pacas from the team at Cafe Tuxpal in El Salvador.  The longer and slower fermentation on these cherries leads to a berry-forward profile on this bean, which adds a candy-like red fruit to the blend.
