The Colombian component adds depth, balance, and caramel-like sweetness, while the Ethiopian contributes a lively fruit character and refreshing mouthfeel. Together, they create a dynamic harmony that evokes some of our favorite summer memories: baked stone fruit desserts, fresh berry cobbler, and the citrusy zip of a neighborhood lemonade stand.
In the cup, expect notes of ripe berries, velvety vanilla, and a lemonade-like acidity that’s both playful and invigorating. Whether brewed hot or served over ice, Parasol is a joyful invitation to savor summer’s fleeting magic.
