The Proud Mary in Portland has some insanely good food and really fun coffees. They’ve recently cut down on their specialty pour over menu which may just be seasonal. I’ve never seen this much selection of bags and tins here though. Ghost Rider is my favorite sub $20 from them

Regarding heart vs proud Mary — I was in Portland not all that long ago and had both. Heart i think has a really high level of consistency but it’s rare that I’m wowed by a coffee (and shot) like I was at Proud Mary. Just my 2c

What the reviewer said
From Proud Mary Coffee, discussing Ethiopia Benti Nenka Natural Instant:
“We're going to grab the Ethiopia, Jabanto, Karume, Natural.”
“The fruit is left on the bean as it dries out in the sun. So what that does is it imparts a fruity flavor, giving a lot of sweetness and syrupy body to the coffee.”
