    What's in the bag

    Five origins, one blend

    Each origin brings something different to the cup.

    1

    Brazil

    Provides the chocolatey base and smooth body that anchors the blend. Brazilian beans are prized for their low acidity and nutty sweetness, the foundation that makes Blend 2 so approachable.

    2

    Sumatra

    Adds depth and earthiness. Sumatran coffee is wet-hulled, producing a full-bodied, syrupy texture that gives Blend 2 its satisfying weight in the cup.

    3

    Colombia

    Brings the bright stone fruit and berry notes. Colombia's high-altitude growing regions produce beans with a clean, vibrant acidity that lifts the entire blend.

    4

    India

    Contributes spice and complexity. Indian monsooned or washed coffees add a subtle savoury depth that rounds out the sweetness of the other origins.

    5

    Ethiopia

    The source of the floral and berry brightness. Ethiopian coffee is the birthplace of Arabica, and its natural-process beans bring the raspberry and blackberry notes that define Blend 2's signature character.

    The Five Origins Behind the Blend

    Every cup of Blend 2 is the result of five carefully selected origins, each contributing something distinct:

    • Brazil Provides the chocolatey base and smooth body that anchors the blend. Brazilian beans are prized for their low acidity and nutty sweetness, the foundation that makes Blend 2 so approachable.
    • Sumatra Adds depth and earthiness. Sumatran coffee is wet-hulled, producing a full-bodied, syrupy texture that gives Blend 2 its satisfying weight in the cup.
    • Colombia Brings the bright stone fruit and berry notes. Colombia's high-altitude growing regions produce beans with a clean, vibrant acidity that lifts the entire blend.
    • India Contributes spice and complexity. Indian monsooned or washed coffees add a subtle savoury depth that rounds out the sweetness of the other origins.
    • Ethiopia The source of the floral and berry brightness. Ethiopian coffee is the birthplace of Arabica, and its natural-process beans bring the raspberry and blackberry notes that define Blend 2's signature character.

    Flavour Profile

    • Flavour Profile: Rich, full-bodied flavour with notes of fresh raspberries, blackberries, toasted almonds and cocoa dust. A renowned brightness in the cup that keeps you coming back.
    • Versatile: Perfect black, with milk, or as a delicious espresso over vanilla ice cream as an affogato.

    FAQs

    Who this suits: Best for anyone who wants an easy-drinking, versatile everyday coffee — Mahalia's most popular blend for a reason.

    Available as whole beans, or ground to order for plunger, stovetop, filter, reusable pods or espresso. It's versatile across brew methods.
