Take a Road Trip with us!
If you love tasting the nuances of the coffee in your cup, you'll want to give Road Trip a try.
Road Trip is a post roast blend, meaning that each type of bean is roasted to highlight its unique characteristics before we mix them together for your order. We think it’s delicious and is a fave for our morning brew.
We love Ethiopian coffees!
What’s in this blend?
Organic Ethiopian beans from the Sidamo region are roasted on the lighter side of medium to bring out their natural sweetness and fruitiness. (Who'd think coffee beans could bring a hint of blueberry to the cup? Or that it would be so delicious?)
You may know that we add Ethiopian beans to most of our blends because we think they grow amazing, special coffees. Kara’s favourite out of all of her coffee country travels.
To add complexity and richness while keeping the overall taste clean and bright, we mix in Central American beans that are medium-roasted.
Together, this creates what we call a City Roast blend - medium roast that’s a little on the lighter side without being too fruity or funky.
Rules of Thumb when brewing Road Trip
If you take your coffee with LOTS of cream or as a milky espresso, this is probably not the blend for you. The milk will overwhelm the nuances of the coffee and you'll wonder why we love it. But if you like a nice strong cup with a sweet and complex flavour, rich with a bright finish, you'll love Road Trip.
Recommended brewing methods
We like Road Trip best made in any type of drip coffeemaker including Aeropress, Chemex, pour over or automatic coffeemaker. Great in your reusable K-cup or pod, too!
If you’re feeling adventurous, try Road Trip as an espresso but without too much milk. Serve it as espresso, macchiato (the real kind, with just a dollop of foam) or Americano. Non-traditional yet delicious!
