Keep it simple or mix it up. This coffee is perfect as a single origin, or, as a blend component. With a nice balance of sweetness, it's a safe-bet coffee that's sure to please a crowd. Every sip is like saying hello to an old friend.
Lighter roast levels showcase tart citrus and mixed nuts. Move toward medium roasts, and notes of hot chocolate and sweet cream appear. Touching second crack will bring out the baker's cocoa and toasted nut notes.
