Royal Coffee’s Limited-Edition Royal Gem Holiday Blend
Crafted by our blending experts, Caitlin McCarthy-Garcia and Charlie Habegger, our Holiday Blend returns each year with a fresh combination of coffees selected for red fruit flavors, warming spice, and a creamy body.
This year’s blend combines Honduras COMSA natural, washed Guatemala Finca La Providencia Palhu, and wet-hulled Sumatra Lintong Parpea. For the first time, Caitlin and Charlie included a wet-hulled Indonesian coffee, bringing spicy sweetness and aromatic character to the familiar holiday profile.
After developing several blends, Caitlin and Charlie invited their Crown colleagues to cup four finalists and vote on their favorites. In the final selection, the Lintong comes through without overwhelming the fruit and sweetness, while the washed Guatemala brings the natural and wet-hulled profiles together.
The blend also works well roasted together, despite the coffees’ different processing methods and bean densities.
