We’re right in the heart of the summer — and this fun seasonal collab from Equator Coffees makes the perfect pairing for those who love coffee (and hydration) as much as I do. The new Golden Hour x Buoy Hydration Bundle, (priced at $50), pairs Equator’s Golden Hour blend (bright, fruity notes of orange creamsicle and Rainier cherry) with Buoy’s unsweetened hydration drops and a 32oz water bottle featuring original artwork from local SF muralist Rymie. As you build a nice war-weather routine, this bundle helps emphasize the importance of staying hydrated (and caffeinated) all summer long. Even better, 5% of collection sales support youth agricultural education at the farm behind the blend in Brazil.

“Golden Hour is summer in a cup. It’s bright, vibrant, and the kind of coffee I reach for when the days get longer. Pairing it with Buoy hydration drops and a custom Nalgene just made sense to us—great coffee to start your day, hydration to keep you feeling your best, and a bottle you’ll actually want to bring everywhere this summer,” says Helen Russell, Co-Founder and Executive Chair.

“We were also excited to collaborate again with Bay Area artist Rymie (Lauren Rymer), whose artwork perfectly captures the warmth and optimism of the season. This collection celebrates so much of what Equator believes in: exceptional coffee, supporting local artists, and creating products that people genuinely enjoy. Most importantly, every purchase helps create impact. 5% of sales support our partners at Fazenda California, funding programs that teach young people how sustainable agriculture can help protect coffee-growing communities in the face of climate change. Reminding us that the best products don’t just taste good they do good too.”

Ideal for meeting all coffee lovers preferences, the coffee portion of this bundle can be ordered in several formats including whole bean coffee, espresso grind, medium grind, or coarse grind. This allows coffee lovers to pair this blend with any brewing format of preference.

“This seasonal blend was profiled to have a bold body and bright, fruity notes, making a cup that is enjoyable both hot and cold,” says Sylis, Associate Roaster. Sourced from Brazil, Papua New Guinea, and Colombia, I’m really looking forward to trying this blend. I’m also a sucker for any coffee packaging that’s as intriguing as this one.

Alcohol, Beverage, Bottle

Mark West, the official wine sponsor of Major League Baseball, is putting a working wine dispenser disguised as a ketchup pump into a cornfield in Iowa, and honestly, I respect the commitment to the bit.

The “Top Up Dispenser,” as they’re calling it, will show up outside the diamond at next week’s MLB at Field of Dreams game in Dyersville, Iowa — the annual matchup played next to the actual field from the 1989 movie.
