Table Top Blend

Table Top Blend is a natural-and-washed-process medium-roast blend sourced from two origins — Brazil (Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Espírito Santo, 1,300 m.a.s.l.) and Guatemala (Cantinil, Huehuetenango, 1,800 m.a.s.l.) — with tasting notes of chocolate, toffee, stone fruit, and almonds, roasted medium for espresso, drip, French press, and pour-over.

The question behind the blend was simple: what does an everyday coffee look like when you refuse to cut corners? The Brazilian lots bring body. Natural-process beans from Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Espírito Santo, grown at 1,300 metres, give the blend its chocolate base, its round weight, and the almond undertone that shows up mid-cup. The Guatemalan component — washed-process lots from Cantinil in Huehuetenango at 1,800 metres — adds structure and a stone fruit brightness that prevents the blend from sitting flat.

Medium roasted to sit in the middle: not so light that the blend's depth gets lost, not so dark that the nuance disappears into roast character. Chocolate on the front. Toffee and caramel carrying through to a clean finish. Dried stone fruits and plum on the lift. It's the same on every piece of equipment you put it on, which is the whole point.
