\"ColombiaColombia Caf\u00e9 Mujeres was the Starbucks Reserve subscription for the month of June, and I had a heck of a time trying to get this coffee to my house!<\/p>\n

My reserve subscription, even though I had updated my address before we moved, went to our house in Washington. I tried re-routing it with FedEx, I reached out to neighbors to watch for it, but the coffee had vanished. A friend suggested that I contact a partner on the reserve team, and she quickly sent a box to my new address in Michigan! I was so excited! Seeing that little black box on my doorstep is something I look forward to each and every month. Even more so since the Roastery is no longer in my backyard. I wanted to do a special tasting as a thank you to Jessica for coming to my rescue!<\/p>\n

Normally, when you think of a lava cake, you think of chocolate. My initial plan was to create a mandarin orange curd to compliment the mandarin orange notes found in this coffee and the creamy mouthfeel. I decided to take it one step further by incorporating that curd into a white chocolate and mandarin cake. This was actually my first time making a lava cake, so it was truly an adventure!<\/p>\n

Colombia Caf\u00e9 Mujeres is a medium bodied coffee with a medium acidity. This floral and citrusy coffee pairs well with oranges and especially lemon loaf. To my knowledge,\u00a0Colombia Caf\u00e9 Mujeres was only offered for the Reserve subscription, but occasionally these coffees pop up in other markets. Sometimes at the Roastery in Seattle, or Japan!<\/p>\n

The tasting card was designed by \u00a0Mia Gerbino, and there is a great article about the story behind this coffee and the artwork on 1912pike.com<\/a>. I love learning the story behind what inspire the artwork, as the artwork usually will inspire my tastings!<\/p>\n
