Artisan Roast - Cobblestone Filter Blend

Two delicious Latin coffees combine in this seasonal filter blend inspired by the cobbled streets of rural Latin America. Medium bodied, laden with berry fruit flavours, caramel sweetness and sparkling acidity.

Blend: 60% FARAMI, 40 % El Derurumbe
Blended By: Cat @ The Artisan Roastery

Cobblestone is a fresh, juicy filter blend with a medium body and harmonious balance of caramel sweetness with bright citrus acidity. It's inspired by the beauty and diversity of Latin America, the ever changing landscapes, cultures and people, the seemingly endless range of coffee flavours to be found throughout the region, and of course Latin vibrance. Throughout this diversity a constant that harmonises the coffeelands bringing a sense of cohesiveness to the region are idyllic rural towns, draped in history with brightly painted houses that line ever present cobbled streets.

Version one of Cobblestone brings together a super sweet fruit driven Costa Rican red honey processed coffee from FARAMI with a classic Colombian coffee from El Derrumbe in Cauca. Both coffees have been firm favourites in our cafe's and they work in perfect harmony in this filter blend.

When we developed the blend on the cupping table what stood out was the harmony of sweet fruit notes from the honey process coffee combining with the complex acidity of the washed process component. The stand out fruit flavours are red apple, tangerine, and red flesh stone fruit. These work very well with the crisp acidity profile and underlying this giving balance sit toffee and cocao nib like flavours and a delicious dense juicy mouthfeel.
