blend friends 003 is a collaboration between oddkin coffee roasters and north star, combining ethiopian and colombian coffees, with the colombian component sourced from huila. the ethiopian portion is processed experimentally, which typically pushes fruit and floral character further than a standard washed or natural would. expect stone fruit and honeycomb sweetness alongside jasmine and broader floral tones, with honey rounding out the finish. the caturra varietal from colombia is a compact, well-documented cultivar known for clean, consistent cup character. this is a blend worth brewing with filter methods that preserve clarity and sweetness, such as pour-over or aeropress, to let the floral and fruit notes come through without muddying them.
