Queen City

Our quintessential post-roast blend, Queen City really is the best of both worlds. Combining two blends with different roast levels, this coffee is the definition of “something for everyone.”

• Tasting notes of molasses, walnut, and cinnamon. 
• Medium to dark roast level.
• Arabica varietals from various countries. 
• Combination washed and natural processes. 
• Grown at 1200-1900 meters above sea level.
• Named after our very first location in Queen Anne, Seattle.

The Queen City blend, crafted by Caffe Vita, offers a distinct profile defined by notes of molasses, walnut, and cinnamon. This coffee is produced using a combination of washed and natural processing methods. While washed coffees are typically celebrated for their clean, bright acidity, natural-processed coffees often contribute a heavier body and deeper sweetness to the final cup. Understanding how these processing methods influence the final character of a bean is essential for any enthusiast looking to refine their palate.

When evaluating the complex interplay of these techniques, tasters often find that the resulting cup bridges the gap between traditional nuttiness and more nuanced spice profiles. To better identify these specific characteristics in your own brewing, we recommend referencing the flavor wheel to help categorize the subtle shifts in aroma and mouthfeel. Grown at elevations ranging from 1200 to 1900 masl, this selection highlights the roaster's commitment to balanced, approachable flavor profiles.
