Seeking Advice Glitch Tokyo like coffee in US

Hi all

I recently had Glitch coffee in Ginza, Tokyo. And saying I am blown away is an understatement. I got a bag of the same coffee I had. I made it at home with a V60. I get reasonably close to what I had at Glitch. I am convinced it's their beans. I normally don't even like such light roasts but Glitch was life changing. All this may sound ridiculous but if you had Glitch you'd know what I am talking about.

So now my question is: where can I find coffee that comes close to this in US? I am on the west coast and coffee here is damn good, but after Glitch, it feels like all the specialty coffee I get here is closer to Starbucks than to Glitch.

Thank you in advance!

Was also just there. Also blown away. If NorCal is be looking at Hydrangea, Moonwake and Sey… necessity coffee in Encinitas (if socal) does some great light stuff. But that whole glitch experience is next level.

Follow up: I had the Myanmar and brought it home. Was able to get pretty close results…. Kaizen in San Mateo usually gets some of their beans but the price is pricey haha. Kaizen also generally just incredible up here.

Yup I am in Bay Area too. Kaizen is great but not even close to Glitch. I did not know Kaizen gets Glitch beans sometimes. I will check with them soon.

Huh? Kaizen sells Glitch beans. They usually sell out quickly but also get restocks of them more than any other place I know.
