Description

Our answer to the silliness of the season. A coffee blend that is both fruit and nut in one. A great African coffee blent with a quality Brazil. Add to that, its great price to celebrate the festive season.

We may even make this a yearly thing.

Drink it Black Friday

Following on the trend started by Cape Coffee Beans‘ #drinkitblackfriday, we thought instead of offering silly discounts for Black Friday (a tradition that is supposed to come after Thanksgiving, which South African’s do not celebrate) we would offer a blend of coffee that offers great value.

What’s in the Festive Blend, 2021

To get the fruit and nut we looked for, we have done a 50:50 blend of our latest Long miles Kinyovu and the specialty grade Brazilian we love, São João.

Tasting notes

As mentioned, this coffee has fruit and nuts as a goal, and that is what we taste. The fruits are more on the dried fruit side, and the nuts are closer to the lighter nut tasts. The coffee has a medium mouth feel (body) and can be enjoyed black. We tried it in espresso, pour over and AeroPress, at many brew ratios and the fruit and nut flavour notes are there.
