For this season of transition, we yearned for a down-to-earth coffee blend, a richer cup to warm us against the first chill in the air. We looked to Colombia for the foundation and to East Africa for the accent. Together, the beans are roasted a few minutes longer on the roasting drum, yielding a fuller-bodied coffee with caramelized sugar sweetness and a depth like toasted nuts. Its straightforward profile might just ring of nostalgia for those of us who first fell for coffee by way of heftier Latin American-based blends. But whether or not such a balanced coffee is familiar to you, its caramel sweetness and hints of warm spice make for one fine cup—with or without milk.
