In the evolving world of specialty coffee, where flavor is king and sustainability is non-negotiable, few offerings stand out like our Cultivar Reserve coffee subscription. This luxury coffee subscription isn't just about sipping something unique—it's a curated adventure into the pinnacle of coffee craftsmanship. Sourced from the world's most elite crops and roasted with meticulous care, the Cultivar Reserve delivers unparalleled quality while channeling its premium pricing back into the hands of the farmers and the entire supply chain. At Daydream Coffee, we ensure that every bag not only impresses your palate but also uplifts communities worldwide. Let's dive into what makes this subscription a must-have for every coffee lover.

Rare Beans, Exceptional Flavors

At the heart of the Cultivar Reserve is an unwavering commitment to quality that sets it apart from everyday brews. The club membership 1lbs bags of the rarest, most exotic, and highest-quality coffee beans, freshly roasted and shipped directly to your door, each month. What truly elevates it? These are hand-selected "cream of the crop" beans—niche cultivars from diverse growing regions that represent the absolute best the planet has to offer.

Imagine starting your day with a pour-over from the Cultivar Reserve Kenya: a traditional double-washed bean from Nyeri County, produced by smallholder family farms. Bursting with juicy, clean notes of blackcurrant, hibiscus, grapefruit, lemon, grape, and chocolate, it's so vibrant it could be mistaken for fruit juice. This competition-level coffee boasts a sweet, syrupy body that performs brilliantly across brewing methods, from espresso (dial it in with long pulls) to drip (temper the brightness with a splash of cold water). Or consider the Barrel Aged Jamaica Blue Mountain—a one-of-a-kind lot rested in a bourbon barrel with a storied history from Old Forester distillery. It unfolds layers of baking spice, rich chocolate, roasted marshmallow, caramelized honey, toasted brown sugar, and vanilla, finishing with a luxurious bourbon whisper. One of the best coffees we’ve created, and previously part of the subscription.

These aren't mass-produced commodities; they're the rarest of the rare, showcasing unique flavor profiles that highlight the terroir, processing, and varietal excellence. Our small-batch, hand roasting process preserves these intricacies, ensuring every cup is a sensory masterpiece. For coffee enthusiasts, the Cultivar Reserve isn't just high-quality—it's a transformative experiences in which each cup is award-winning.

Sourced from the Best Crops: A Journey to the World's Finest Farms

The magic of the Cultivar Reserve begins at the source, where we at Daydream Coffee scours the globe for the absolute best crops available. These beans hail from smallholder growers—family-owned operations typically spanning less than five acres—who cultivate in optimal conditions, often at high altitudes with ideal microclimates. From the misty highlands of Kenya to the sun-kissed estates of Jamaica, Ethiopia and Colombia, each selection is vetted for its potential to deliver extraordinary results. This hand-picked approach means only the top-tier lots make the cut, which include only beans that exemplify cultivar diversity, from heirloom varieties to innovative hybrids, all processed with precision (like double-washing for clarity, barrel-aging for depth, unique fermentations and beyond).

By focusing on these elite crops, Daydream Coffee ensures traceability and freshness—beans are roasted daily at our cafe in Western Springs and shipped promptly. This farm-to-roaster model minimizes intermediaries, ensuring the hardworking farmers benefit to the furthest extent possible in a market flooded with average joe blends and middlemen. The Cultivar Reserve is a beacon of excellence, proving that the best coffees come from the best stewardship of the land and people who grow them.
