11th Hour X Human Shaped Animal

Every quarter, we hand the bag to a local artist and let them run with it. Their work wraps the coffee and matching merch. When it sells out, it's gone for good. The next quarter belongs to a new artist.

  • Luiz Carlos Zanette

    This season's coffee comes from Sítio Serra e Leite, a family farm in Poços de Caldas, Brazil. The Zanette family has owned it for over a hundred years, since Luiz's grandparents left Italy in search of a better life. Luiz Carlos Zanette is 72 now and still runs it, growing specialty coffee on volcanic soil at 1,000 meters above sea level. Four awards in and counting.

  • Human Shaped Animal

    Rachel's work blends hand-shaped animal motifs with bold color and deliberate weight. A painter, installation artist, and longtime Santa Cruz resident, she's spent years exploring new expressions of line and emotion through mixed media. Her work has been shown in galleries and independent shops across the Bay Area.

  • One Coffee

    Every drop starts with coffee we pick together. Rachel had a say in the lot, usually a single origin we source with them. So the work on the outside actually connects to what's inside and where it came from.

  • One Artist

    Local artists bring real work to your counter. No templates. No focus groups. Just what they want to make. Their art wraps the bag and the merch that goes with it.

  • One Quarter

    When this collection sells out, it retires for good. No restock. No "best of" reissue. The next quarter belongs to a different artist, a different story, a different coffee. That's the deal we make.
