Volume 00: Off Script

Volume 00: Off Script

We wanted to begin small — with a pre-launch Volume made just for our earliest members.

Off Script was created as a first look at what was to come, available exclusively through our Founders Club: a limited-time offer that includes 25% off a full year of Folk Volumes and one box of Gesha coffee from this release as a bonus in your first shipment.

Curator's Note

For our very first release, we could have played it safe. But Folk was never meant to repeat what’s already known. We’ve started with something cherished — not to prove anything, but to see how even the most familiar things can still surprise us.

We chose Gesha, one of the most celebrated and carefully guarded varieties in coffee. Known for its clarity and elegance, and for the extraordinary care it takes to grow, it’s the kind of name that carries weight. Farmers around the world treat it as something almost sacred, and with good reason.

That’s exactly why we wanted to begin here. If Folk is about curiosity and craft, then there’s no better way to introduce ourselves than by exploring new dimensions of something already beloved. The two Geshas we’ve selected come from unexpected origins and reveal surprising character: more floral than sweet, more herbal than fruit-forward, more alive than polished.

Beginning with untraditional versions of a coffee this iconic felt risky. But that’s part of what we believe in: honoring tradition by testing it, and letting curiosity lead the way.

Off Script is both our first step and a promise — to approach even the most established things with fresh eyes, open hands, and a willingness to see what else might be waiting there.

Join our Founders Club and one of these two Geshas is yours—our way of welcoming our first members. This is a one-time offering. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Why we know you'll love it

Like a mandarin peeled in a flower garden: sweet citrus meets chamomile, jasmine, and a touch of caramelized peach.

Bright blood orange softens into dark chocolate and ripe peach, like a candied orange dipped in cocoa.

The Art

Slow is Good
Amanda Jones

We’ve admired Amanda Jones for years — our founder Sean and his wife Dani (Folk’s Content Director) even have two of her prints at home, including this one.

So when we chose our very first Volume to be titled Off Script, we decided to embody that idea fully: by choosing a piece that has less to do with the theme and everything to do with us.

While Amanda’s creative path from fashion to film to painting beautifully reflects the power of going off script, this work captures the heart of Folk itself. Its simple truth sits at the center of what we believe: that meaning, connection, and beauty all begin when we slow down.

The Playlist

A folk song turned inside out. A jazz tune stripped bare. A rock track built on found sounds. Each one plays with expectation by breaking, bending, or rebuilding what came before in pursuit of something more meaningful.
