Mocha Java Blend

It's a classic case of “opposites attract,” when the fruity brightness of Ethiopian beans meets the cooling darkness of Java brew. This is a beautifully balanced example of what a blend can deliver.

Blend Profile

In the late 1600s, Ethiopian coffee from the port of Mocha was blended with beans from Indonesia — and thus was born the first blend, Mocha Java. Our version is a sparkling, palate-cleansing variation on this classic theme.

About Gimme! Blends

Each of our blends starts with an idea. Sometimes we're inspired by a craft beer or fine wine; sometimes we want to showcase an outstanding bean or create our own version of a traditional blend. Our Master Roaster takes this idea into the cupping room, where we spread out a palette of single-origin beans. The blend comes together like a puzzle, piece by piece. First comes the anchoring base note; next we choose the high note and finish. Finally we tune the proportions to bring the whole mix into balance, so that no one flavor dominates. The resulting blend is greater than the sum of its parts.
