Project Buna: Drink Great Coffee

Roasted by us, brewed by you.

Our mission is to make specialty, third-wave coffee more accessible so you can brew it right at home.
We curate a seasonal menu of small batch, freshly roasted coffee beans from around the world, as well as custom group experiences we call Crowd Crafted Coffee.

Check out our newest coffee! Our beans are carefully sourced from around the world and roasted here in Virginia. We typically maintain three different coffees on our seasonal menu. Order yours or send as a gift, all from our online store!

we’re working to make specialty coffee more accessible

Our story started on a Navy destroyer, when we couldn’t stand black coffee and didn’t know the difference between an Aeropress and a French Press. Now we’re on a mission to help everyone discover great coffee, sharing our own experience and journey of discovery. As we work to demystify the world of third-wave and specialty coffee, we believe that ultimately great coffee is the coffee you like, the way you like it.

Our coffee projects are all ethically sourced from around the world and carefully roasted here in Virginia. We choose three at a time specifically for a balanced range of flavors and experiences, so everyone can try something new and find something they love. Instead of old beans from some stale inventory, our seasonal menu and small batch approach ensures that you’re getting the freshest coffee. This makes our product a unique gift for loved ones and friends, too! If you’re having a special event, we’ll even have a batch roasted specifically for you to dedicate to your special day. Just reach out to get started.

Treachery of Coffee

$15.00

Welcome to our newest product line, the Treachery of Coffee! Experience barrel-rested coffee like none other you’ve ever tried. Our aim is to create an artful, exquisitely balanced cup that highlights both the single-origin coffee and the spirit previously residing in the barrel. We achieve these complementary, nuanced notes by using innovative resting methods that prevent the coffee from turning out excessively boozy or overwhelming.

This product line will be released in extremely limited batches only a few times a year, and each batch will feature unique bean and barrel match-ups. We’ve just made a new drop available:

Coffee information: Single-origin Vietnamese beans, from SHG Lotus producers in the highlands of Da Lat and Cau Dat, grown at 1400 - 1600 masl and processed using the washed method.

Barrel information: Ex-bourbon maple syrup barrels.

Tasting notes: This experimental combination of Vietnamese coffee and ex-bourbon maple syrup barrels created something special! Our favorite brewing method to use with these beans is the French Press. Using James Hoffman's method allows the coffee to cool to the perfect temperature for an unforgettable cup. Chocolate chip pancakes with all of the magic. Sweet notes of maple with a hint of buttery richness. In the background there is a hint of muddled berries. Take your time with this coffee… the rewards are found as this brew gently cools!

Bag size: 8 oz
Rest easy: there is no actual alcohol content in the brewed coffee.
