House blends are the backbone of any coffee merchant. They depend on it and your trying it is a good way to find out if you can depend on them. They make choices from hundreds of coffees to achieve a successful blend. A blend is not simply a mixture. It is a combination of the desired coffee characteristics, and it cannot be maintained by always adhering to a formula. No two coffee crops have the exact same characteristics. The blender measures uniformity by the effect of the whole rather than by the quantities of the component parts. A good coffee merchant realizes that we depend on them for their skill in selecting and blending to give us that perfect cup of coffee.
Holiday Blend is a Vienna roast, dark roasted to capture a mellow, caramel-like acidity, a creamy stout body and a hint of smokiness at the finish. This coffee is an ideal blend to complement a holiday feast or a nostalgic reunion.
