Holiday - Brew Chart & Impressions
Sipping on this coffee will instantly transport you to a Christmas Market or even make you believe in Santa again!
This coffee tastes like cherry, chocolate, warm wine, nutmeg. Pretty Christmassy if you ask us!
It's always a fascinating process to create a blend. It's even a little crazier when we try to make it taste a certain way.
Nothing says Christmas like chocolate, and that is what the Guatemalan coffee brings to the mix. For the ripe fruit, going for a natural Ethiopian coffee was a no brainer.
But our job wasn't done yet: we had to find the perfect ratio to make it pop and make it taste like the holiday season. After a couple of tests, we ended up using two thirds of the Randolfo lot and one third of the Ethiopian.
This coffee is also designed to pair well with booze (dark rum works particularly well) and eggnog.
