In 1974, paleontologists found Lucy in Ethiopia — 3.2 million years old, the earliest ancestor we’d ever met. This blend is our answer to the question: what does our origin taste like? Real Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Lucy’s homeland, balanced with Guatemalan and Colombian. Not a metaphor. The coffee of our beginning.
A hidden detail: 300 million years ago, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Colombia weren’t three places. They were one landmass in Pangea. Every Lucy cup is, quietly, a reunion.
