Introducing Last Mile™: xBloom’s New Chapter in Specialty Coffee
In specialty coffee, every cup is shaped by countless decisions. From the altitude where it is grown, the variety chosen by producers, the way cherries are processed after harvest, to the roasting decisions that define its final profile, every step contributes to what you experience in the cup. But there is one final moment that determines how that story is experienced: brewing.
At xBloom, we call this final step the Last Mile™.
What Is Last Mile™, and Why Did xbloom Launch It?
Last Mile™ is xBloom’s specialty coffee brand, bringing together the coffees, partners, and stories behind every cup. Built on years of collaboration with specialty coffee roasters and producers around the world, Last Mile™ brings carefully selected coffees with distinctive origins, processing methods, and flavor profiles together under one shared identity.
The name “Last Mile” represents the final stage of a coffee’s journey: the moment when origin, processing, roasting, and brewing shape the experience in your cup. It is where the work of producers and roasters is revealed through xBloom’s brewing technology and carefully developed recipes.
More than a product line, Last Mile™ reflects xBloom’s approach to specialty coffee: connecting producers, roasters, brewing technology, and coffee lovers to help every coffee reach its intended expression.

The First Five Releases from Last Mile™
The first Last Mile™ release introduces five coffees that represent different expressions of specialty coffee. From elegant Geshas and experimental processed coffees to approachable everyday cups, each release highlights a unique combination of origin, processing, roasting, and flavor.
La Miel Peru Washed Gesha
Collection：Rare Finds
Flavor: Tropical · Mandarin Orange · Silky · Sweet
Process: Washed
Variety: Gesha
Gesha is one of the most celebrated varieties in specialty coffee, valued for its floral aromatics, delicate structure, and ability to reflect the environment where it is grown. This coffee comes from La Miel, a farm founded by Yulisa Ester Carhuallocllo and her husband, Jeremías Chinguel Huancas, in Peru’s Chirinos region. Through careful cultivation and meticulous processing, the farm focuses on bringing out the natural expression of the coffee rather than relying on heavy processing to create flavor.
Unlike heavily processed coffees that rely on fermentation to create bold flavors, this washed Gesha highlights clarity and precision. The washed process allows the Gesha variety to express itself with greater transparency, revealing the characteristics developed through the farm’s environment and cultivation.
In the cup, La Miel Peru Washed Gesha presents a delicate balance of tropical sweetness, mandarin orange brightness, and floral honeysuckle notes, supported by a silky mouthfeel and clean finish. As the coffee cools, its structure becomes more defined, allowing the layers of fruit and florality to emerge with greater clarity.

Jamison Savage Symbiosis Panama Geisha
Collection：Top Shelf
Flavor: Strawberry Compote · Blueberry · Syrah Grape · Mandarin Orange · Floral
Process: Natural Anaerobic Extended Fermentation
Variety: Geisha
Founded by coffee producer Jamison Savage, Savage Coffees is known for exploring how innovative processing can reveal new dimensions of specialty coffee. Through years of experimentation with fermentation and post-harvest techniques, Jamison and his team have developed coffees that highlight the connection between origin, variety, and processing.
Symbiosis is a Panama Geisha that represents this approach. The coffee undergoes more than 100 hours of natural anaerobic extended fermentation in sealed tanks, where a controlled oxygen-free environment allows deeper fruit development and greater aromatic complexity while preserving the distinctive character of the Geisha variety.
Rather than masking the qualities that make Geisha unique, the fermentation process enhances its natural expression. The result is a coffee with remarkable fruit intensity, layered aromatics, and a sweetness that continues to evolve as the cup cools.
Brewed hot, Symbiosis reveals vibrant strawberry and grape-like notes alongside pronounced florals and wine-like sweetness. As the temperature drops, deeper blueberry characteristics emerge, creating a more complex profile with a lively acidity and elegant lingering finish.

Lychee Berry Lemonade
Collection：Beyond
Flavor: Lychee Candy · Strawberry Tea · Lemonade
Process: Advanced · Co-ferment
Variety: Castillo · Catimor
Traditionally, blends were created to achieve consistency. Modern specialty coffee has expanded that idea, using blends as a way to create new and unexpected flavor experiences. Created in collaboration with Black & White Coffee, Lychee Berry Lemonade brings together two coffees with distinct personalities: Baolian Lychee Peach, known for its lychee candy sweetness and tea-like character, and Sebastian Ramirez’s Red Fruits, which contributes layers of strawberry and tropical fruit.
Through advanced processing and co-fermentation techniques, these coffees come together to create a profile that feels closer to a crafted flavor composition than a traditional blend. The result is a vibrant cup with candy-like lychee sweetness, strawberry tea notes, and a structured lemonade-like acidity that develops throughout the brew.
From the moment it is brewed, the coffee releases expressive aromatics that continue to evolve as the cup cools. Each temperature reveals a different layer of the blend, showcasing the creativity and experimentation shaping the future of specialty coffee.

HACHI Panama "GIN" 銀 Enzyflow Washed
Collection：Limited
Flavor: Grapefruit · Raspberry · Nectarine · Cinnamon
Process: Enzyflow Washed
Variety: Caturra
Beyond the pursuit of famous varieties, specialty coffee continues to reveal new possibilities through thoughtful cultivation and innovative processing. HACHI “GIN” 銀 explores this idea by showing how far a familiar variety like Caturra can be pushed. This Caturra comes from the Hachi Coffee Project, a collaboration between Diego Bermudez of Colombia and Allan Hartmann of Panama. Their work focuses on exploring the expressive potential of non-Gesha varieties through careful variety selection, controlled fermentation, and precise processing.
Processed using the Enzyflow Washed method, this coffee highlights the balance between clarity and complexity. After depulping, the cherries undergo a controlled 24-hour fermentation, allowing the coffee to develop greater aromatic intensity while maintaining a clean and structured cup profile.
The result is a vivid and expressive Caturra that challenges traditional expectations of the variety. In the cup, grapefruit and raspberry notes lead with bright citrus acidity, followed by nectarine sweetness and a subtle cinnamon finish. As the coffee cools, its layers continue to unfold, revealing a dynamic combination of fruit, florals, and sweetness.
We recommend tasting this coffee across different temperatures to experience how its acidity and processing characteristics evolve.

Process: Washed
Variety: Catimor
Good Company is the first release from xBloom’s Core collection, created as an everyday expression of specialty coffee. Sourced from Mexico and processed using a washed method, this coffee focuses on balance, sweetness, and versatility. Notes of chocolate, caramel, and hazelnut are complemented by gentle apple and citrus acidity, creating a profile that is approachable yet thoughtfully crafted.
Roasted to a medium to medium-dark profile, Good Company is designed to fit naturally into daily routines. It performs beautifully as a pour over while also holding its character with milk-based drinks.
As part of the Core collection, Good Company represents xBloom’s approach to everyday specialty coffee: carefully selected, precisely roasted, and made to be enjoyed again and again.
