On the most recent episode of the Espresso Sprudgecast, hosts Jordan Michelman and Zachary Carlsen communicate in regards to the winners of the fifteenth Annual Sprudgie Awards, all whilst ingesting the most recent iteration of the Wilder Mix from Verve Espresso Roasters in California.

Wilder Mix

Pomegranate, candied citrus, and juniper taste notes are entrance and heart with Verve’s 2024 Wilder Mix, an annual and seasonal providing now in its 6th 12 months. From Verve’s web page: “Wilder Mix showcases 3 distinct processes from 3 other areas, a washed Costa Rican from Jose Alvarado’s farm El Higueron, a honey from the Sampieri circle of relatives in Chiapas, Mexico, and a herbal from a gaggle of smallholders in Quiche, Guatemala.” They are saying it’s like ingesting espresso in a blossoming orchard…we predict it’s like ingesting espresso in a blossoming orchard whilst recording a espresso podcast.
