The fourth coffee of our 2026 season is an Aviary-exclusive and our third from the producer of one of Aviary's earliest releases: Maria Nieves. After shipping disruptions impacted the cup quality of last year's release, our determination to purchase from many of the same producers year-over-year rewards us in 2026 as Maria returns to full strength with a bright, tropical, complex cup.

From Christopher: "Of all of Aviary's releases in our inaugural season, the one I've longed to taste again came from Maria Nieves and the first year of production of her Gesha trees. That harvest resulted in a coffee that was not only the highest-scoring coffee of all coffees I bought in 2023-2024, but also one of my favorite coffees of Aviary's first season. Ahead of the 2025 season, I committed to purchasing Maria's coffee again—my second purchase from Maria Nieves Tantalean Fernandez, whose leadership of Asprocafe Alpes Andinos ensures a fair price for the members of the cooperative.

"But harvest and export in Peru in 2024 came during a particularly tumultuous period. Lower yields and a rapidly-rising market created not only liquidity challenges but also led to defaults for many cooperatives in the country. These problems delayed exports—as did huge waves that struck the Peruvian coastline during peak export season. When Maria's coffee did eventually make its way to the Port of New Jersey in 2025, three months late, it had been exposed to heat, humidity and long transit times—all of which are detrimental to quality. I'd paid a premium for a coffee that arrived faded. I did what I could—using rehydration and a very light roast—to present the coffee in the best possible light, all while remembering how great it used to be.

"The back of the Aviary box features the same phrase that emblazens our homepage: Coffee is an expression of time. 'Time' refers not only to the longitudinal nature of coffee production—with a tree producing after 3-5 years, ripening happening over 9 months, harvest over 2-3, and shipping over weeks or months more—but also meant to depict the very transient and ephemeral nature of coffee. Rather than tasting like a place, a coffee tastes of a particular moment.

"So when it was time to contract coffee for our 2026 season, I again reached out to our partners at Yellow Rooster in Peru to talk about buying from Maria. With the market at all-time highs and competition in Peru compounding premiums on exotic varieties like Gesha, Yellow Rooster was understandably cautious about their contracting, particularly after the shipping issues they faced last year. Risk means different things depending on your vantage in the supply chain, but for an importer, risk of product failure—of paying a premium for a coffee that might need to be sold at a loss—is an unacceptable outcome in a market plagued by illiquidity and expensive financing.

"While roasters can simply choose not to buy, producers do not have the luxury of choosing not to sell: coffee production is their business, with coffee itself being the product. And with harvest occurring just once a year, most producers survive on credit and other forms of financing; a single harvest sold at a loss or sold below market pricing doesn't just have a single year impact, but rather may impact profitability for years to come by reducing a producer's ability to re-invest in their farm's management.

"As a roaster, when we buy coffee year-over-year, we help to mitigate risk for producers and create stability. And so, we committed to purchase again.

"Buying year-over-year enables us to taste the progression of time over every season and the impacts of every variable on the cup. Even producers who are in the highest elevations growing the highest-quality cultivars may experience disruptions—through labor shortages, climate change, war, political disruption, market volatility or 10 meter waves that delay shipping—that result in years of worse quality, as we experienced last year.

"But by choosing to buy anyway—even in down years—we have the privilege of being there when the quality is once again meteoric.

"And this year, it is, indeed meteoric: a complex, mouth-filling, bright, vibrant coffee with notes of bergamot, rosehip, passionfruit, raspberry and tangerine

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.
