Gingerbread, boozy pineapple & jasmine florals.
This is a custom blend for Blokes and Their Long Macs in honour of Harry Stead:
On Boxing Day of 2023, our mate Harry Stead tragically passed away fighting fires in Esperance. He was one of the best blokes going around. This blend intends to honour Steady's passion for all things coffee. Much like coffee, Steady brought people together, and that's why a blend in his honour seems so fitting. 'Steady On' refers to Steady's outlook on life - his amazing way of slowing down, enjoying the ride and celebrating the moment. Every bag of the Steady On Blend sold contributes directly to Nulsen Disability Services - one of many organisations Steady passionately dedicated his time to. Featuring notes of gingerbread, boozy pineapple and jasmine florals, this blend was created to be shared and celebrated in honour of our mate.

Context
The Steady On Blend, crafted by Five Senses, offers a complex profile that bridges the gap between comfort and intrigue. By balancing the warm, spiced sweetness of gingerbread with the vibrant, fermented acidity of boozy pineapple and the delicate lift of jasmine florals, this blend demonstrates how roasters can layer distinct flavor categories to create a cohesive experience.
When evaluating such multifaceted profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize these diverse sensory inputs. While some coffees lean into singular, predictable profiles, blends like this one are designed to evolve in the cup as they cool, allowing the floral aromatics to emerge alongside the deeper, fruit-forward notes. This approach highlights the roaster's intent to provide a dynamic drinking experience that remains approachable yet sophisticated, inviting the drinker to explore the interplay between spice, fruit, and floral characteristics in every sip.
