Summer Blend 2013
Our seasonal blends evolve according to what’s freshly harvested. This summer’s blend comprises:
50% Colombia Asociación Los Naranjos, washed
50% Brazil Fazenda Sertãozinho, pulped natural
To some, a blend comprising simply Brazil + Colombia might as well read “boring and derivative”. Which is a bit like someone saying they don’t like bacon and eggs. But what if the eggs are fresh, free-range double-yolkers, and the bacon is thick-cut, old breed, organic?
Both these coffees are amongst the best their countries/regions have to offer, and we think everyone should enjoy the resulting blend!
From the Colombian, we have a really intense sweetness – I think of it as a “high pitched” sweetness, contrasting nicely with the “deeper” sweetness of Brazilian.
There’s plenty of chocolate sweetness, with some buttery caramel notes, and a balancing acidity that is citrussy in character (orange & sweet lemon). It’s bold and rich and very satisfying however you drink it! Available online here.
