Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
This blend combines Ethiopian Sidamo, Colombian Huila and Guatemalan Antigua in a 40% / 35% / 25% composition, with each component roasted separately before blending according to the current product specification. The finished medium-roast blend is described with blueberry, milk chocolate, honey, citrus and brown sugar, supported by a full, velvety body and bright, balanced acidity. The differentiation comes from the documented blend architecture and finished cup profile, not from assigning a specific flavor role to each origin without component-level cupping evidence.
Recommended Brewing
-
Espresso: The blend’s body and sweetness give a balanced concentrated cup.
-
Pour over: Filter brewing lets the blueberry, citrus and honey notes become easier to separate.
-
French press: Immersion emphasizes the fuller body and chocolate-brown-sugar direction.
-
Milk-based drinks: Milk chocolate, honey and body give the blend enough structure for flat white or latte.
1718 Brewing Tip: Use the blend as your reference coffee when comparing brew methods; keeping the coffee constant makes it easier to notice what espresso, pour-over and immersion change in the cup.
