Summer Time

This super fruity lot was created with Brandywine Coffee Roasters and Methodical Coffee for a special summer release. Both roasters have been early supporters of the Development Lot program, featuring these coffees on their menus from the very beginning. For this release, they wanted something even brighter, juicier, and more expressive for the season. Methodical and Brandywine's relationship goes back more than ten years, when Will and Todd first met at a coffee event and built a friendship that has lasted ever since. Before becoming a roaster, Methodical even served Brandywine and other guest roasters on their bar. Years later, both companies wanted to create something together with another longtime friend—Unblended. We started talking about some of our favorite coffees and kept coming back to the Development Lot. From there, the idea naturally evolved: take everything we love about that coffee and give it a fresh, summer-inspired twist. Sebastián Ramírez's Watermelon Co-Ferment was the perfect fit, adding another layer of vibrant fruit character while preserving the sweetness and complexity that make the Development Lot so special. The result is a lively, fruit-forward coffee that celebrates long friendships, shared creativity, and a mutual passion for pushing coffee in new and exciting directions.
