Lucienne operates like a winery/cellar—carefully tasting, packaging, cataloguing, and preserving each [coffee] on your behalf.
Partner coffees are rested for 7-14 days, individually vacuum packed in 100g increments, catalogued, then placed in a deep freeze (-18°F) until ordered by you. (FAQ)
All coffees are delivered in flat vacuum bags with integrated, resealable zippers.
All bags are in 100g increments unless stated otherwise.
We taste all coffee we purchase blind before listing them for sale to ensure quality remains high. We do not discount or sell rejected coffees. (Sorry. These end up being my husband and I’s morning cups.)
We specialize in forgiving, un-finicky, stunning coffees meant for special occasions, coffee nerds, or just treating yourself.

Most Lucienne offerings are roasted with filter preparation in mind. This is the easiest, most forgiving, most reliable method to taste these coffees with minimal fuss and waste on your end.
A skilled barista can certainly dial these in for espresso with amazing results as well. We see it all the time.
However, for most customers, we generally don’t recommend this due to the size of our bags at 100g each. We believe most baristas need at a minimum 3-4 pulls to approach a decent shot, and by then you may or may not have enough for a 5th. Because the quantity is low and the price is high, it just doesn’t make economic sense, and we’d hate for you to end up wasting so much coffee.
Of course, this is the case with any coffee, and can easily be solved by purchasing more than one bag... In other words, like most things, this problem can be solved with money. But this economy is tough.
ALL THAT BEING SAID, I know there are a bunch of you espresso maniacs out there who will do it anyway. I won’t stop you from your fun. :)

Josh’s notes:
“Holy fuck amazing bag smell” is the first note in my notebook about this one. On bag open, this coffee smells like a whole bag of Dove dark chocolate. You could bury your face in this. Live in this. It’s also the smell of rich chocolate frosted raspberry cake, or a filled bag of Halloween candy. On grind, it begins to smell just like a Gansito, one that has been left melting in the sun, or the shelf of a too-warm CDMX Oxxo. It’s a very strong aroma of chocolate, cake, cream, and raspberry filling. In the cup, this actually tastes like baked goods. Like, the best brownie you ever had in your life. All edges. It is uncanny the smell of high quality cacao baking in the oven, forming a delicious crust.
This particular coffee has received the official stamp of spousal approval. Not that my husband Chris isn’t a coffee drinker; quite the opposite. He’s just harder to blow away, which this coffee did many times over.
Goes shockingly well with milk, and milk based drinks if you dare to pull turbo shots with this.
Incredible offering from Hatou.
We also have an equally amazing orange bourbon with the same processing from the same farm available here: El Encanto Yeasted Thermal Shock x2 Ferment Washed Orange Bourbon

Check back soon.
Roast:
Roasted light-medium(ish) and spectacularly by our friends at Hatou Coffee and Roasters in Jeju, South Korea, rested for 7 days, then vacuum packed and frozen. I recommend enjoying this coffee right away.
Josh’s Notes:
What a crazy smell on bag open. Like lemongrass, thai basil, grapefruit, and ginger all at once. It smells like a good smoothie shop. No, even better- it smells like a good thai restaurant. On wet, this coffee fills the room aggressively with that scent of ginger and lemongrass. Stunningly appetizing aroma makes your mouth salivate. In the brew, it’s more of the same with all of those flavors tamed into a softer, smoother, more cohesive unit. This is a great coffee for those who enjoy coffees that are ultra bright and have a kick to them. Highly recommended, especially to share with loved ones who like good food.

Roasted light and spectacularly by our friends at Glitch Coffee and Roasters in Tokyo, Japan, rested for 7 days, then vacuum packed and frozen. I recommend enjoying this coffee right away.
