{"product_id":"exceptional-rare","title":"Exceptional \u0026 Rare 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eOnce a year we put two coffees in a box that we'd never put on the bar. Not because they're difficult — because there isn't enough of them. This year there are one hundred boxes, one roast, and pre-orders close on Sunday 13 December.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth come from the Pacas family, five generations of coffee growers in Santa Ana, El Salvador, and from the small part of their harvest they call Incunables, after the earliest printed books: the lots too rare to blend. The Bernardina is a variety that didn't exist until 2012, when the manager of Finca Los Bellotos noticed a few trees with unusually sweet cherries and picked them separately; a DNA test matched nothing known, and the family named it after him. This year a Bernardina took first place outright at El Salvador's Cup of Excellence. This lot is from the original trees. The Geisha began as five seeds from a friend of the family, four of which grew; the trees they planted at Finca La Providencia in 2019 are what's in the second tin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 125g tins, both naturals dried slowly in the shade, roasted light by Bailies in Belfast, in the black and copper box we've used since 2023. The roast is on Monday 14 December and the boxes go out on Thursday 17 December — in time for Christmas, and as fresh as a coffee can be on the day. Pre-order now; when the hundred are spoken for, that's the year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coffeeangel","offers":[{"title":"Whole Bean","offer_id":56506588528982,"sku":"E\u0026R-WB","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aeropress","offer_id":56506588561750,"sku":"E\u0026R-AP","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cafetière\/French Press","offer_id":56506588594518,"sku":"E\u0026R-CAF","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Filter\/Drip","offer_id":56506588627286,"sku":"E\u0026R-FIL","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moka Pot","offer_id":56506588660054,"sku":"E\u0026R-MP","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso (domestic)","offer_id":56506588692822,"sku":"E\u0026R-ESD","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso (semi-pro)","offer_id":56506588725590,"sku":"E\u0026R-ESP","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3234\/3189\/files\/CA-4_538a2536-b704-4f1a-8630-b090e5e0cae3.jpg?v=1794342642","url":"https:\/\/coffeeangel.com\/products\/exceptional-rare","provider":"Coffeeangel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
