Decoding the Bag: Single Origin vs. Coffee Blends
Manage episode 336323648 series 3142776
From Cape Town, South Africa, we’re featuring the ridiculously delicious Black Honey Blend coffee of Truth Coffee Roasting (twice featured as one of the worlds best coffee shops by The Telegraph).
This is the first coffee blend we’ve featured, and boy is it a special one! It showcases an excellent washed-process heirloom coffee from Ethiopia Yurgacheffe that brews beautifully alongside a honey-process Pacas from El Salvador Comasagua. If you’re able to get your hands on a bag for this episode, I highly recommend you brew it in an Aeropress—a recipe I got directly from one of their talented roasters!
Inverted Aeropress:
18g Coffee
210g Water @80°C (176°F)
Bloom: 50g for 30 seconds
Begin extraction at 03:30
Total time: 04:00 Minutes
Being that this is our first coffee blend on the show, we’re diving into what a coffee blend is and how it compares to single origin coffee, which has accounted for all of our other featured coffees thus far. Tune in!
P.S. We’re taking a week off from the podcast to review our first five episodes and get ready for more to come. We hope you don't’ miss us too much!
