Blending washed and natural Ethiopias is a great idea. Here it sweetens up the citrus and freshens up the berry for notes of tangerine and raspberry.

Medium

Dark

Trade Tip

Roasters don’t always agree on roast level — one roaster’s dark might look the same as another’s medium. We taste and assign every coffee our own roast level, so your matches stay consistent no matter who roasted them.
