New Year's Blend
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 11:07 pm
Today I roasted the coffees for my New Year's Blend, which I will serve on New Year's morning (and for the first couple of weeks in the year, assuming we like it).
I roasted the individual beans separately, took them all just into second crack and they are roughly what Tom calls "Full City +". There are equal quantities of each:
Colombia Lot No. 21 Las Cochas
Costa Rica - Cafatalera Zamorana
Indonesia - Sumatra Utara Wahana Estate 100% Rasuna
The basis for the roast is the Colombian and the Central American and Sumatra provide the spice. I enjoy all three of these beans individually, too.
Yes, the Colombian is a CoE. Blending it may seem sacrificial, but I know that it will stand up well to the others.
I will report on the results.
