DONATION BLEND
BLEND DESIGN:
Created to represent the descriptors of 91.3 WYEP: Eclectic • Unique • Funky
AVAILABLE SINCE 2024
We’re excited to introduce our newest offering, presented in collaboration with 91.3 WYEP. This blend was inspired by the WYEP team’s description of their organization: eclectic, unique, and funky. Proceeds from Mixtape Blend benefit WYEP.
This is a blend of two coffees, the first comes from Aponte village in Nariño, Colombia. It is a silky coffee with notes of strawberry and chocolate milk. The second blend component is exported by Baho Coffee from Akagera processing station in the Bushekeri Sector of Rwanda. This lot was produced by widowed and single women in the area. The coffee is acidic and tart, with notes of lemon and cranberry. The two components in this blend come together like an album with no skips. The final product is a sweet, cranberry and citrus-forward cup with notes of stonefruit, like cherry and pomegranate.
Since 1974, 91.3 WYEP has been Pittsburgh’s independent music source and a treasured cultural resource. On the air, online and in the community, WYEP champions musical discovery by supporting new and emerging artists. Listeners tune in to WYEP because of the passionate and dedicated music lovers who deliver a hand-crafted listening experience spanning a broad range of genres and styles. Learn more by visiting wyep.org or by finding them on social media. WYEP is supported in part by the taxpayers of Allegheny County through a public grant from the Allegheny Regional Asset District (RAD). RAD works here.
FAQs
Shipping Information
We operate Monday-Friday and strive to ship your order within 2 business days of the order or renewal date (not including weekends.) Your order will be shipped by UPS or USPS to your door. You will receive a tracking notification when your order ships.
Roasting Information
All coffee is roasted fresh to order on our Loring S35 Kestrel Coffee Roaster. All bags are stamped with the roast date, and we think coffee tastes best if consumed within 2-4 weeks. However, if left whole bean and stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, the coffee can remain enjoyable for up to 4-6 months, depending on the bag or container. Most of our coffee is roasted to a medium or light/medium roast level, except for All Day, which is our staple dark roast offering.
