Verve Coffee Roasters has recently launched its latest Wilder Blend, inspired by California’s Wilder Ranch State Park. The Santa Cruz-based specialty coffee roaster celebrates nature’s beauty with its fan-favorite seasonal blend, Wilder. The Wilder Blend highlights three different regions: Guatemala, Rwanda, and Peru. With notes of pluot, cherry leaf, and dandelion, the coffee results in a jammy upfront, rounding out into a delicate balance with a finishing floral touch. Each sip captures the spirit of the land to your cup, echoing serene trails and coastal breezes.

Wilder is now available in both the company’s cafe locations in California and via online purchase for home brewing. The blend can also be brewed in various ways, including Verve’s Dwell Dripper – crafted from BPA-free silicone and features a unique bottomless design, allowing for a free-flowing brew process that creates an aromatic and beautiful brew. Effortlessly clean and endlessly enjoyable, this new blend can be purchased in whole bean form, finely ground form for espresso, medium for filter brewing, and coarse for French press brewing.

According to Verve Coffee Roasters, all of the brand’s coffee roasts can be brewed in multiple ways, designed for your perfect morning. You can also try the Wilder Blend in Instant Coffee form to enjoy your coffee on the go. Individual packets are ideal for travel and require only 10 ounces of hot or cold liquid  (water, milk, or milk alternative) to make. Simply stir and drink up (perhaps while hiking in the Wilder Ranch State Park). This limited-time seasonal roast is available now for purchase.

Why Kauai Coffee Company should be on every traveler’s bucket list
A walk around the coffee plantation
Kauai Coffee Company

I'll take any chance I get to combine the things I love most: traveling and coffee. While visiting Kauai, I knew it was a must to visit Kauai Coffee Company's estate, located in the southern part of the island. Kauai Coffee Company, the largest U.S. coffee grower, produces an impressive 4 million pounds of coffee annually, all grown on its own plantation in Kauai. Given that a healthy coffee tree produces only one pound of coffee per year, this means this coffee producer's estate is home to nearly 4 million coffee trees.

If you love coffee, be sure to stop by the estate for a self-guided walking tour, where you can explore the grounds on your own and learn a bit about how coffee is made. Of course, the free coffee samples in the gift shop are also a motivating factor. Here's a look inside the self-guided Kauai Coffee Company walking tour. Coffee lovers visiting Kauai, you'll want to pay attention.

How one small Wisconsin roaster became a leader in ethical coffee
Recyclable packaging, regenerative agriculture, and more
Wonderstate Coffee

Founded by Caleb Nicholes in 2005, Wonderstate Coffee began as a coffee roasting company that sold to local Co-Op grocery stores. Coming from the wine industry, Nicholes was inspired to find and roast the most extraordinary coffee he could. He later developed a deep interest in fairness in the supply chain, environmental responsibility, and equitable compensation for coffee farmers.

By combining his passion for exceptional coffee with earnest intentions, Wonderstate Coffee has made a national impact in the coffee world today. Shortly after Caleb started the company in 2005, Denise and TJ Semanchin (husband and wife) bought the company to become partners with Caleb. I chatted with TJ to learn more about how this small, Wisconsin-based roaster is refining American coffee through ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship, and an unwavering commitment to transparency.
