What it is?
When we first began roasting coffee we wanted to create a blend that would appeal to all audiences. With a lot of practice and a little luck, we created a winner. This signature blend features three coffees from three origins, roasted to three different profiles to create one of the most complex yet approachable medium to dark roast blends you can find. Look for notes of pecan praline, lemon-lime, and milk chocolate truffle.
Key Benefits
The art of coffee blending, sometimes unfairly maligned by single origin enthusiasts, has been around since the earliest days of coffee trading. The intent of a perfect coffee blend is to piece together traits of different varietals, processes, and roast profiles to develop a cup with a specific set of attributes. For example, our Funky Chicken blend is designed to suit those coffee drinkers who are interested in a slightly bolder cup of coffee, but don't want the roasty notes of a dark roast, and prefer a sweet and balanced finish. This is achieved through what is known as a "post-roast" blend, meaning 3 coffees are roasted to 3 profiles and then blended together at specific ratios. In contrast, the Floyd Farmhouse is a "pre-roast" blend (coffees are blended in green form, then roasted to the same profile) and designed to have a fruit forward, sweet, and milder taste profile. The Old Crow (post-roast blend) is designed to taste great as espresso, and the 4&20 (pre-roast blend) is our darkest blend offering.
