    Intriguingly, this roast blends two distinctly different beans, resulting in a cacao / light citrus flavor profile. However, I prefer light roast (this blend is advertised as light-medium) and this coffee presented to me as a dark roast in flavor and feel.

    Clean and balanced with a slight almond nuttiness. Theres a touch of milk chocolate but also black tea. A classic easy drinking/breakfast type blend. Blueberry and black cherry light acidity. Caramel sweetness. Clean finish with limited complexity.

    Cupping Method:I made it 3x, 2 pourover. I thought it worked best with a little low temp on pourover (197F)

More Details

Roast Level: Light Medium
A Light Medium Roast coffee, sometimes referred to as a "City Roast" or "American Roast," lies between a light and medium roast. This roast level strikes a balance by preserving the coffee bean's unique characteristics while allowing for a moderate development of body and flavor. The beans have a medium brown color, exhibiting a slight sheen of oils, providing a more balanced and nuanced flavor profile. A Light Medium Roast typically highlights the coffee's inherent fruity, floral, or citrus notes, while also providing some of the deeper, richer flavors associated with medium roasts.
Bean Source Country: International Blend
International blend coffee refers to a blend of coffee beans sourced from different regions or countries worldwide. International blends combine beans with distinct flavor profiles and characteristics, resulting in a harmonious and complex cup of coffee. The quality of an international blend depends on the expertise of the coffee roaster, who carefully selects and combines beans to achieve a specific flavor and balance. Roasters who excel in crafting international blends have a deep understanding of the different growing regions, varietals, and processing methods.
