Collection: Anthologies

Anthologies: (n) a collection of select pieces of literature, film, music, or art

When learning about the etymology of anthology, it was striking to learn that it can be traced back to Greek word 'anthologia' which translates to 'gathering of flowers'. It was striking because coffee is a flower-bearing plant, that withers away shortly after pollination, and in their place cherries grow which contain the seeds that we have come to cherish for our daily rituals. 

It is only fitting, then, to speak of a series of published coffees as anthologies; the cherries themselves are collectors of flowers, and without the blossom of each flower we would not have our own 'bloom' that marks our first pour. 

Our anthology series, then, is Preface's way of bringing together coffees that we roast in a presentable format for you to explore different themes. This might be cultivars, processing methods, or producers; origins, altitudes, or bean size.
