Do you enjoy discovering the unknown and don’t want to be limited by preconceptions about specific countries or processing methods? Then this secret taste mission is tailor-made for you. Set aside the charts, forget the maps, and rely purely on your senses.
This limited-edition Mystery Can from the French roastery People Possession was created with a single goal: to pull you out of your daily coffee routine, awaken your sense of playfulness, and draw you into a fascinating blind tasting. An explosion of flavors awaits you—one you won’t see coming, but will enjoy all the more for it. To make this sensory challenge perfect, the coffee is roasted as an omni-roast. It’s therefore perfectly versatile—it develops an incredibly complex and juicy character when brewed over filter, but will equally amaze you as a rich, layered espresso.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Uncover what lies beneath the lid. Can you guess the correct continent, altitude, or wild fermentation based on the aroma and your first sip? All details about this coffee’s origin remain strictly confidential for now. All that remains is the pure, unadulterated joy of specialty coffee.
If you want to uncover the truth and verify your guesses, you’ll only learn the complete details about the coffee’s origin by sending an email to the roastery.
Are you up for the challenge?
