Celebrating the work of women producers with this blend full of syrupy-sweet praline and ripe pineapple.


We’re excited to announce this limited edition blend featuring coffees brought to us by some incredible women, launching on International Women’s Day and running until Mother’s Day. Much of the world’s specialty coffee is produced by small scale farming families, with significant parts of the production and quality labor provided by women who often don’t receive equal recognition. This blend brings together the work of women producers from Colombia with the Igualdad Mujeres Hombres (washed), Guatemala with the Finca El Hato (washed) and India with the Gensinkerai (washed). Together they create a delicious espresso blend of syrupy-sweet praline and zingy, ripe pineapple for you to enjoy!

Context

The 3 Sisters Blend, crafted by Five Senses, showcases the clean, bright profile often associated with the washed processing method. By removing the fruit flesh from the coffee cherry before drying, washed coffees typically highlight the inherent acidity and clarity of the bean, allowing specific origin characteristics to shine through. In this particular blend, the roaster identifies a complex interplay of sweetness and acidity, noting flavors of caramel, pineapple, praline, and tropical fruit.

To better understand how these specific descriptors fit into the broader spectrum of coffee sensory analysis, you can consult our flavor wheel. For those interested in how the preparation of the raw cherry influences the final cup, our processing methods explainer provides a detailed look at the mechanics behind the washed technique. This blend serves as an excellent example of how careful roasting can balance rich, confectionary notes with vibrant, fruit-forward acidity.
