Blend Week 🇨🇴🇮🇩🇺🇬

Hello Sideyard Friends,

This week’s big-bodied blend offers a great contrast against last week’s light and bright Ethiopia. The blend comprises three parts Uganda, four parts Colombia, and one part Bali. While it still has plenty of sweetness to it (strawberry and apricot mostly), the heavier feel and deeper-toned aspects of the Uganda win the day in this profile. It feels perfectly suited to the brutally cold week of winter we just had.

The origin track recommendation for the week is another one from the electronic/hip-hop artist Kabeaushé. Go with Gut at Songlink. Also on the origin track front, Fitzgerald’s just announced a show by an artist that I’ve recommended a few times here—Gaby Moreno.

Cheers,

Ryan
