My brother-in-law recently returned from a trip to New Mexico, and the prize he brought me was a mug and coffee from Iconik Coffee Roasters in Santa Fe. So of course I immediately French-pressed myself some, and it’s safe to say that I will be adding Iconik as a stop on my Coffee Shop Road Trip.
Iconik Coffee is a direct trade (i.e., they work directly with farmers and coops) coffee company that roasts its own beans and offers both in-house and wholesale pricing. Their website is easy to navigate. My favorite part (other than the coffee, of course)? They give you brewing tips.
I brewed the Royal Badger Sumatra. I have decided that Royal Badger is my spirit animal. I’m not sure how a coffee can be so light and yet so rich at the same time. It was delicious, and I am hoarding it. I might share with my sister and brother-in-law. MIGHT.
(I’m totally sharing. I’m taking some over tonight.)
If you’re in Santa Fe, you should check them out and report back to me on their in-house brew. Their in-MY-house brew, however, already has my full approval.
