This is my take on an old school blend (not anything to do with Steve's take on it, the Blake blend).
This is not new as it is one I used to do a lot years ago. I haven't had these beans together for along while so thought I'd get nostalgic.
Anyway here it is:
50% Brazilian Cachoiera - roasted medium, just shy of 2nd crack
40% Celebes Torja Kalosi - roasted dark, a little way into 2nd crack
20% Etheopian Yirgacheffe - roasted shy of 2nd crack, but looks dark possibly as it is 2010/2011 crop so little old and had got lost in a box!
A rather unfashionable blend by today's standards with little fruit in the cup. However it is very sweet, smooth and full of body, just a shame the Yirg had lost a bit of its top end. A good all rounder, well rounded straight, or with milk sweet and nutty with a good bit of kick of body (and caffeine) from the Kalosi.
