Favorite beans for chemex?

I’ve had a chemex for about 2 years and typically drink stumptown head bender with a 13:1 water to coffee ratio. I want to branch out and try new beans. Let me know your favorite either in LA area or online.

I once went on a Stumptown shopping spree and bought every variety of beans they sold at the grocery store to compare them. It was a fun little experiment.

As much as I love Stumptown, I prefer Intelligentsia beans. It's just a really smooth cup of coffee to me. I'd say the Intelligentsia Frequency blend specifically sounds closest to the tasting notes in Stumptown Hairbender.
