Roasted to the darker side of medium, this versatile blend pulls double duty as a great option for both espresso and filter coffee. When enjoyed as espresso, look for notes of milk chocolate, shortbread, salted lime, and ripe pomegranate with an orange blossom aroma. When brewed as drip coffee, the cup is soft, mellow, silky, and sweet with warm chocolate aromatics and notes of dark chocolate, raspberry, and pistachio.
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.
Roasting exquisite coffee while making an impact at origin and at home. We source all of our coffee responsibly. We use Organic and Fair Trade coffees for all of our signature blends and many of our single origins. When our coffees are not Organic or Fair Trade, they are of premium quality, transparently sourced from estates and farms that are known to treat workers equitably and take care of the land. In many cases we buy coffee from farmers and traders in the country of origin, meaning more money flows into the country and farmers can take better care of their coffee trees and their families.
