Regions & Blends
Blends
A Blend or Mélange is a mixture of different single origin varietal coffees from around the world. The coffee is usually roasted separately to its optimal roast, and then blended. Blending in a strategic way can yield a brew larger than the sum its parts. Carefully selected coffees based on their varied positive attributes can work magically as many different flavors are combined. Our most popular coffees are blends!
