christmas blend is a dark roast ethiopian coffee from bono coffee roasters, processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and tends to produce cleaner, more defined cup characteristics. despite the dark roast, it holds onto floral and winey qualities, with jasmine coming through alongside a fruit-forward, wine-like depth. the washed process keeps things bright rather than jammy. dark roasts like this do well in espresso or french press, where the body and lower acidity can shine. if you prefer filter, keep water temperature around 90, 92°c to avoid pulling bitter notes from the darker development.

common questions

What does Christmas Blend taste like?

it has winey and floral characteristics, with jasmine as a distinct note. the washed processing keeps the cup relatively clean, letting those floral and wine-like qualities come through clearly rather than reading as heavy or syrupy.

How is Christmas Blend grown and processed?

it is sourced from ethiopia and processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry is removed before the beans are dried. this approach is common in ethiopia and generally produces a cleaner, brighter cup compared to natural processing.

How should I brew Christmas Blend?

as a dark roast, it suits espresso or french press well, where fuller body and lower acidity are assets. if brewing filter, use water slightly off boil, around 90, 92°c, to keep the extraction balanced and avoid amplifying bitterness from the darker roast.
