TBD Coffee Co. Duck the Patriarchy is a Peruvian coffee with a silky body and tasting notes of salted caramel and citrus. “Freedom” appears in the original brand copy as part of the playful message, not as a literal sensory descriptor. The coffee is roasted fresh for each order in Southern California.
The product’s character is built around Ruthie the Duck and the line “We’re here to ruffle feathers.” That story remains part of the page, but it is separated from the factual coffee profile. Roast level, producer, growing region within Peru, cultivar, elevation and processing method are not documented.

Flavor, roast and extraction
The combination of caramel sweetness and citrus can work across filter, immersion and espresso. Dial in for balance: enough extraction to develop sweetness, but not so much that the finish becomes dry. Taste the coffee after it cools slightly; acidity, body, sweetness, clarity and finish are often easier to assess below serving temperature.
Freshly roasted coffee releases carbon dioxide during degassing. If a brew foams aggressively, drains unpredictably or tastes unsettled, allow additional rest before making large recipe changes. Store the bag sealed away from heat, moisture, light and strong odors.
Brewing guidance
Drip or pour-over
Start with a 1:16 ratio, medium grind and water near 200–203°F. Use 20 grams of coffee for 320 grams of water. If citrus reads as sharply sour, grind finer; if the cup is drying, grind coarser.
Espresso or French press
For espresso, begin around 18 grams in and 36 grams out, then adjust beverage yield by taste. For French press, choose the coarse grind, use about 1:15 and steep four minutes before decanting.
Change one variable at a time. A finer grind or longer contact time generally increases extraction; a coarser grind or shorter contact time lowers it. Dose and brew ratio set strength, while beverage yield and drawdown help shape the finished balance.
Choose a format and grinder
Choose whole bean when you own a grinder, standard ground for drip, espresso grind for pressurized preparation or French-press grind for immersion. No decaf option is documented. Whole bean offers the greatest control over grind size. Pre-ground coffee is convenient but should match the intended brewer. Compare Turin coffee grinders for consistent home grinding, or browse the specialty coffee collection by roast, origin and preparation style.

Frequently asked questions
Is this coffee flavored?
No added flavoring is documented. The listed notes describe the sensory profile supplied for the coffee.
What roast level is documented?
Not specified. Any variation in the source wording is disclosed rather than silently resolved.
What origin and processing information is available?
Origin: Peru. Process: Not specified. The table distinguishes supplied details from information that is not documented.
Should I order whole bean or ground?
Choose whole bean when you have a suitable grinder and want to dial in particle size. Choose the grind labeled for your brewer when convenience matters more than adjustment range.
How should I correct a brew that tastes off?
If the cup is sour, sharp or thin, grind finer or extend contact time. If it is bitter, rough or drying, grind coarser or reduce contact time. Keep dose and total water consistent while testing.
How should I store the coffee?
Keep the bag tightly sealed at room temperature away from sunlight, heat, moisture and odors. Grind only what you need and avoid repeated temperature changes that can cause condensation.
