Best enjoyed with a friend, on Earth, or somewhere else.

After an exciting journey through the stars, Koala and Goose landed on the shiny, moon-like surface of Venus. The land was vast and empty, just like a big blank page waiting to be filled with fun. They set up a cosy little spot, today's paper, and their favourite mugs, the air filled with excitement and the sweet scent of a space adventure. This was a long way from their comfy coffee shop on Earth where the two friends worked. One day, as they were enjoying a cup of their latest creation, a magical blend called "Retrograde," they came up with a fantastic idea: to drink their favourite coffee on the very planet it was named after! La Venus is a special coffee from Nicaragua that they had loved for many years, but not as long as they had loved La Estrella, a coffee they had enjoyed for the past seven harvests and looked forward to every year. Retrograde is a perfect mix of two Nicaraguan coffees with yummy flavours of strawberries and cream, papaya, and hazelnut—too delicious not to share under the stars. As they brewed the Retrograde, the smell of papaya filled the thin Venusian air. Koala and Goose looked out over the empty land of Venus, their hearts full of wonder and happiness. They clinked their mugs together in a cheer to friendship, adventure, and the simple joy of sharing a perfect cup of coffee with a friend.
