From the producer

Sightglass sources coffee through direct, long-standing relationships with producers and cooperatives globally, prioritizing sustainable farming practices and quality premiums.

From the roaster

Based in San Francisco, Sightglass Coffee focuses on small-batch roasting and transparency, with their name inspired by the sightglass window on their vintage Probat roaster.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Named for the shortest day of the year, this limited-edition seasonal blend is crafted to offer a comforting and warm profile suitable for the winter season.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
