Rebel Blend

We combine beans from Africa, Central and South America, and then roast them to three levels. This dark-roasted blend supports CBD’s local artists through its community arts fund. For every pound of Rebel Blend coffee sold or brewed at our Diamond Street Coffee By Design coffeehouse during the year, $1 is donated to the Rebel Blend Fund.

Flavor Notes:  Dark Chocolate + Blueberries + Smooth

Roast Level:  Dark

The Rebel Blend, crafted by Coffee By Design, offers a profile defined by dark chocolate, blueberries, and a smooth finish. When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often look to the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between deep, cocoa-toned base notes and the brighter, fruit-forward acidity found in complex blends.

While individual preferences vary, blends that balance rich, dessert-like sweetness with subtle berry undertones are frequently sought after for their versatility across brewing methods. The combination of a smooth mouthfeel and distinct flavor markers makes this selection a notable example of the roaster's approach to creating a balanced cup. By understanding how these specific descriptors align with broader sensory categories, drinkers can better appreciate the intentionality behind the blend's composition and its performance in the cup.
