Abel Tesafaye (better known as The Weeknd) has a new collaboration, and this time it doesn’t involve music. The “Save Your Tears” singer partnered with Blue Bottle Coffee to create a collection inspired by his Ethiopian roots and family, which officially dropped Thursday (July 13) and is available to shop now.
Samra Origins, named after The Weeknd’s mother Samra, is a line featuring an Ethiopian blend of coffee and a limited-edition 16 oz. tumbler decorated with “Samra” in Amharic. To celebrate the release of the collection, the Grammy winner took to Instagram to show off the new collection with a string of photos that display the coffee blend and tumbler.

The Samra Blend Vol. 1 comes with whole beans that feature notes of raspberry, toffee and citrus blossom. The flavor profile was inspired by The Weeknd’s childhood flavor, resembling the coffee used in a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony called Buna Tetu, which he and his family performed regularly.
