Blue Mountain Flavor (Blend) Coffee Beans - 450g

☕ Flavor Analysis | Is this the right fit for you?

This blend utilizes complementary origins to achieve a stable and smooth performance in the cup: Nicaragua and Brazil provide the cocoa, nut, and sweet base, while Indonesian beans complete the low-acidity heavy body and depth in the finish. The entry brings warm cocoa and nutty tones, and the mid-palate reveals a slightly sweet spice note. When milk is added, it easily transforms into a soft, sweet toffee impression. The finish concludes with light woody notes and a lingering sweet aftertaste. The overall layers are clear but not overly complicated.

• Low Acidity & Balanced: Steers clear of sharp fruity acidity; offers a soft entry with very low stimulation.
• Great for Black & Milk Coffee: Stable and smooth as black coffee; milk amplifies its sweetness and toffee tones.
• Geared Towards Daily Drinkability: The flavor is not overly intense, making it highly suitable for drinking multiple cups a day.

💧 Brewing Guide

For this classic blend, the primary brewing direction should focus on "stability, balance, and ease of drinking." For black coffee, it is recommended to avoid over-extraction to preserve the smooth mouthfeel; for milk drinks, you can slightly increase the concentration to make the cocoa and nut tones more distinct.

• Suggested Temperature: 89°C–91°C (Try 90°C–91°C for a cleaner cup).
• Brew Ratio: 1:15 (for black coffee); 1:14–1:14.5 (can be slightly stronger for milk drinks).
• Suggested Grind: Medium-fine grind (avoid grinding too fine to prevent dry bitterness and overpowering woody notes).
• Suggested Pairings: Excellent as black coffee or with milk; suitable for enjoying multiple cups throughout the day.

Quick Adjustment Tips:

• For a smoother, more balanced cup: 89–90°C, slightly coarser grind, steady flow rate → Bitterness becomes softer, sweet aftertaste becomes clearer.
• For a sweeter milk coffee: Tighten ratio to 1:14–1:14.5, slightly finer grind → Cocoa, nut, and toffee tones become more concentrated.
• For a cleaner black coffee: Control total extraction time, avoid overly slow flow rates → Woody finish becomes softer, mouthfeel becomes crisper.

Brewing Tip: If medium-dark roast blends like this are extracted too deeply, the cocoa and nut tones can easily be suppressed by dry bitterness and heavy woody notes. It is recommended to adjust based on a baseline of "smooth, balanced, and highly drinkable."
