The Two Origins Behind the Blend

Blend 3 brings together two fully washed Central American coffees, one with a citrus lift, the other rich and heavy:

• La Lapa, Costa Rica Grown in Costa Rica's Central and West Valleys, around San José, Alajuela and Heredia, at 900 to 1,500 metres. This fully washed Caturra and Catuai brings dark chocolate, caramel, prune and a touch of citrus, with a juicy, balanced body. Its citrus brightness lifts Blend 3, while the caramel and chocolate sit underneath the brown sugar and toffee.
• La Morena, Guatemala Grown by women coffee farmers in Huehuetenango and Baja Verapaz, at 1,400 to 1,700 metres. It brings dark chocolate, brown sugar and cherry, with a heavy body that gives Blend 3 its weight and toffee sweetness. Read the La Morena story
