Introducing Single Batch Custom Blends

One of the fun things about being a small roaster is having the ability to do small batch experiments. For example, what would a single-origin taste like if it were roasted darker for espresso? If we blended a chocolaty coffee with a nutty one, would it come off like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup?

Add to this the fact that some folks are interested in small tweaks to our coffee. Can we make an extra dark Heidi’s Blend? Can we make a low-caffeine version of any coffee?

Put these together and it adds up to our latest offering: Your Own Blend, a custom-roasted coffee, made to order from our inventory of seasonal green coffee.

You define the blend contents! You decide how dark it is! Just for fun, you can even say what name goes on the bag!

How It Works

  1. In our web store, we have added a product called “Your Custom Blend.” When you add this item to your shopping cart, a form will guide you through the process.

  2. Configure your blend from our available green coffee inventory. We provide tasting notes, you decide which beans and how much of each.

  3. Choose your roast level, defining how light or dark the coffee will be.

  4. Make up a name for your creation. We gotta call it something!

  5. We take it from there.

Why It Works

Almost any mixture at any roast level will probably be tasty, because all of our source coffees are very high quality. Plus, we know these beans and how to roast them well. So, the chances of creating a really bad blend is extremely low. However, if we see something come in that looks risky, we will confirm with you before proceeding.
