Blending of coffee

The blending of coffees is an art. Each blend is the official signature of the inspired coffee roaster.

Bean blends combine the best qualities of one single origin with the different but complementary qualities of another, resulting in a unique, signature taste.

The ability to balance the elements of the blend, so that no two types of coffees that are combined posses similar characteristics, is a principal skill for such artisans. Blending requires the expert skill of knowing each ingredient coffee, having in mind clear cup profile as the goal, and knowing how to achieve it.

In a perfect blend, the result is greater than the individual parts, causing a third unique flavor to emerge. Blending experts typically combine no more than three different coffees. Blending may be done before or after roasting.

Blending before roasting is traditionally used by retail and institutional roaster.

Blanding of coffees is used to create classis coffee mixtures to make lower cost versions of high-priced coffees, and to produce commercial products that remain consistent in taste and price even as crops vary and prices rise and fall.
