Intelligentsia

Persephone Blend

Persephone is Intelligentsia's annual spring celebration, blending exceptional coffees from small-scale farmers across East Africa and Latin America. Each component is washed and carefully sourced through direct trade relationships, with the featured Kenya Nyeri lot grown at 1,800 m elevation on raised beds. The cup delivers a lively balance of sweet and tart—pomegranate and tamarind lead, followed by bright maraschino cherry notes that capture the vibrant character of seasonal renewal. This is a blend built for drinkers seeking complexity and acidity that mirrors spring's fresh arrival.
