Coffee Blends

What are coffee blends?

Coffee blends are a mix of two, three, or sometimes even more different coffees, each from a unique origin. 'Origin' refers to the country where the coffee is grown and processed before being roasted at our roastery in North Yorkshire. By blending different coffees, we can create unique flavour profiles that combine the best characteristics of each origin.

How do I choose a coffee blend?

The flavour of the beans used in our coffee blends depends on several factors, including the type of bean, growing conditions, and roast type. To choose a coffee blend, consider the flavour profiles you enjoy. For example, if you prefer rich and chocolatey flavours, our Granary Blend might be perfect for you. However, if you like fruity and sweet notes, try our Two Stories Blend. Browse our coffee blends to see which one takes your fancy, and don't hesitate to reach out to our team if you have any questions or can’t choose.

Does blended coffee taste better?

This depends on personal preference. Single-origin coffees often have more complex and nuanced flavour profiles because the beans are grown and processed in specific conditions. Whereas, our coffee blends are designed to offer a balanced and smooth flavour profile by combining the strengths of different beans. Whether you prefer single-origin or blended coffee is a matter of taste.

What is the difference between single-origin and blended coffee?

Single-origin coffee comes from one specific location, which can be as broad as a country or as specific as a single farm. It highlights the unique flavours and characteristics of that particular region. Blended coffee combines beans from multiple origins to create a balanced and harmonious flavour profile, offering a different tasting experience.

Are coffee blends more affordable than single-origin coffee?

Our blends are sometimes more affordable than our single-origin coffees as the coffees we combine might be priced differently. However, the cost also depends on the quality and rarity of the beans used in the blend. We’ll always try to keep the price as low as possible so our customers can experience the taste and enjoyment of specialty coffee.

Can I use coffee blends for all brewing methods?

Yes, our coffee blends are versatile and can be used for various brewing methods, including drip coffee makers, French Press, espresso machines, and pour-over setups. Depending on the grind size and brewing technique, you can enjoy different aspects of the blend's flavour profile.

Do you offer decaf coffee blends?

Currently, our focus is on providing high-quality caffeinated coffee blends. However, we do offer decaf options in our single-origin coffees. Check our decaf coffee collection for more details.
