A new Coffee Blend.
It helps that networking and good relationship with Coffee Buyers/Traders increase the chances of Roasters to have access to Quality Coffee. Me for instance, a random visit last week ended up with 60kg of Brazil Fazenda Santa Alina Yello Bourbon 100% Pulped Natural in my car boot. I wasted no time in roasting and cupping it the same afternoon.
Sugar browning sweetness that is creamy with subtle cocoa notes as a single origin offering, googling it suggested the coffee as a good blend too. Intellegista had it, so does Wendleboe and a few other good roasters across the world. Instantly, we cupped the few origins that we had and i came up with this:-
Santa Alina as base
Kenya AA as binder
Sidamo as finisher
I would like to keep the percentage a secret but i had a go at it this morning, just one day after roasting. First shot was forgettable, 17grams, too coarse and over-extracted. Did a few calibrations and in the 2nd try, i hit the sweet spot!! With the Kenya giving added body and the Sidamo, surprise surprise, contributing to more chocolate undertones than its lemony character, i had a winning formula.
I finished the Espresso and make myself a Cappuccino. The coffee flavours ever present, the milk adding extra sweetness and creaminess to this blend.
It's a Sunday and i am in Coffee Heaven.
