Decoding the Bag: Single Origin vs. Coffee Blends

JUN 1, 201912 MIN

Description

<p>From Cape Town, South Africa, we’re featuring the ridiculously delicious <a href="https://truth.coffee/collections/coffee-beans/products/black-honey?variant=12154227195975"><u>Black Honey Blend coffee of Truth Coffee Roasting</u></a> (twice featured as one of the worlds best coffee shops by <em>The Telegraph</em>).</p> <p>This is the first coffee blend we’ve featured, and boy is it a special one! It showcases an excellent washed-process heirloom coffee from Ethiopia Yurgacheffe that brews beautifully alongside a honey-process Pacas from El Salvador Comasagua. If you’re able to get your hands on a bag for this episode, I highly recommend you brew it in an Aeropress—a recipe I got directly from one of their talented roasters!</p> <p><strong>Inverted Aeropress:</strong></p> <p>18g Coffee</p> <p>210g Water @80°C (176°F)</p> <p>Bloom: 50g for 30 seconds</p> <p>Begin extraction at 03:30</p> <p>Total time: 04:00 Minutes</p> <p>Being that this is our first coffee blend on the show, we’re diving into what a coffee blend is and how it compares to single origin coffee, which has accounted for all of our other featured coffees thus far. Tune in!</p> <p>P.S. We’re taking a week off from the podcast to review our first five episodes and get ready for more to come. We hope you don't’ miss us too much!</p> <p>Sources:</p> <p><a href="https://truth.coffee/blogs/news/post-truth-vs-truth-coffee"><u>Post Truth vs. Truth Coffee</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.perfectdailygrind.com/2015/09/everything-you-need-to-know-about-single-origin-coffees/"><u>Everything You Need to Know About Single Origin Coffees</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.perfectdailygrind.com/2018/05/a-roasters-guide-to-creating-coffee-blends/"><u>A Roasters Guide to Creating Coffee Blends</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.coffeereview.com/coffee-reference/coffee-basics/coffee-language/traditional-blend-names/"><u>Traditional Blend Names</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.javapresse.com/blogs/buying-coffee/blends-vs-single-origin-coffee"><u>Blends vs. Single Origin Coffee</u></a></p>
