Home | Away
Marriage defines the reality of home, the experience of being away, and each space between. As the years carry on, each couple will find themselves re-discovering their own needs of nearness and distance.
This month’s ritual explores the heart-level experience of this coming and going. Guiding each couple to have these conversations together, Home | Away is an invitation to accept and support, or more, to know and be known.

RITUAL BLENDS
The blends aren’t meant to hide the origins — they’re meant to highlight them.
By shifting the ratio, you’ll experience how each coffee carries unique qualities which, when paired with the other, becomes something new.
WEEK THREE 70% COLOMBIA | 30% CHINA
Ragamuffin's El Salvador storms the scene with its loud and sweet flavor profile. Following gently behind is our Honey Moon's Mexico. See if you notice it bringing more flavor, depth, or even simple mouth-feel (literally, the feeling in your mouth) to the cup.
Taste and observe. Take in the warmth.
Each week, try to notice which coffee reveals itself first, last, and how they work together. You may find new flavors amplified and complimented by the contrasting coffees.
And of course, ask yourself: Is this the coffee for me?
WEEK FOUR 30% COLOMBIA | 70% CHINA
Taste and observe.
The roles flipped, Mexico takes the lead. Try to notice the sweet El Salvador poking it's way through, complementing the rich, chocolatey mouthfeel of the Mexico.
Savor those sips. Try to catch the subtle and not-so-subtle flavors of the two coffees interacting in a new way.
Which cup did you prefer? Where do you and your spouse differ?
