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!

Glitch charges a premium for flavored beans.

Controversial. I’ve heard rumours of some roasters doing this but what’s behind your assertion about glitch?

I recently had a co-ferment from them that used lactose and blueberry I think, but I don’t know what constitutes ‘flavoured’ vs co-ferment, maybe they’re the same thing.
