{"product_id":"african-kahawa-coffee-blend","title":"African Kahawa | Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur African Kahawa Blend is best described as a bright, richly complex medium-dark roast with toffee, caramel, chocolate, raisins, green apple, red fruit, cherry, black currant, and a soft floral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup opens with toffee and caramel, creating a warm sweetness that settles into smooth chocolate. These deeper flavors provide a rich foundation without covering the brighter characteristics of the African coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the coffee develops, raisins and green apple introduce contrasting fruit flavors. Red fruit, cherry, and black currant follow, bringing additional brightness and complexity before the cup settles into its soft floral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a coffee with a wide and evolving flavor profile. Toffee, caramel, and chocolate move into dried fruit, green apple, cherry, and black currant, with the medium-dark roast holding the sweeter and brighter characteristics together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer tasting reports are not available yet.

The toffee, caramel, chocolate, fruit, and floral characteristics come from the coffee itself rather than added flavoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfrican Kahawa Blend can include coffees from Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Zambia, and Tanzania. The exact blend can change as harvests and individual coffees become available while maintaining its intended bright and complex character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee cherries are often processed by hand at the homes of the farmers after being hand picked. The beans are washed, left in the sun to dry, and then hand sorted before packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium-dark roast provides enough development to support the toffee, caramel, and chocolate while preserving the raisins, green apple, red fruit, cherry, black currant, and floral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour coffee is roasted after you order, then packed and shipped within days. It does not sit in a warehouse waiting for someone to buy it. This helps preserve the sweet, fruity, chocolate, and floral characteristics that distinguish this blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Brewing Methods:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour Over, including V60 or Chemex, provides the clearest separation of the blend’s many flavors.
