New Green Coffee Blend Recipes: 2023 Holiday & The Cupper’s Delight

You can read Caitlin and Charlie’s full blog about the process here.

We take blends seriously around these parts. We spend a lot of time thinking about, and giving hot takes on, coffee blends. In the spirit of our blend enthusiasm, we’re excited to present two new seasonal blend recipes. Both blends are 3-bean blends designed to be blended at 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. Happy blending!  

2023 Winter Blend
When we think of the holidays, we think of warming spices, tart and sweet red fruits, sweetness, balance, and a round body. In that spirit, this special blend is comprised of equal parts of two washed coffees from Papua New Guinea and Uganda, plus a single-farmer natural coffee from Ethiopia. Our blend is a very well-balanced and approachable coffee with base notes of cola and mulling spices, mid-notes of floral like bergamot and hibiscus, cherry cordial, and baked plums with cream, and top notes of cranberry and lively orange acidity. It is not too complicated, with just the right amount of complexity.  

Cupper’s Delight Blend
Our intention with creating this blend was to use three coffees that may be a little long in the tooth but still have positive flavor characteristics that are showcased well in a blend and come in at a competitive price point. The flavor profile has a nice syrupy body with some jasmine florals, stone fruit, and a little bit of sparkly lemon citrus. This blend will work nicely at varying roast levels; at a lighter roast you’ll taste more citrus and floral, and with a more developed roast, the already rounded body will increase. And because this blend is so body-driven, it will make a tasty espresso too.
