Seasonal Blend

Seasonal blend: celebrating coffee’s seasonal nature

Soft cloudberry leads the way into a decadent marzipan sweetness. Juicy sultanas on the finish round out this treat filled cup.

A blend that changes with the harvest

Coffee is a seasonal crop, so the coffees in this blend change through the year as fresh harvests arrive. Our roasting team tastes what's landing from our producers and picks components that work well together. It's sweet, and it works as espresso or filter. The bag in your hands is always fresh, in-season coffee. Want to know why? Read The Coffee Arrival Calendar.

Resting Rest it for at least 7 days after roasting before brewing it as espresso. Plenty of people like it earlier, so brew whenever you fancy.

The Seasonal Blend from Has Bean offers a distinct profile that highlights the roaster's approach to balancing complex sweetness and acidity. By featuring notes of cloudberry, marzipan, and sultanas, this coffee invites drinkers to explore a nuanced spectrum of flavors that bridge the gap between bright, berry-forward acidity and the comforting, nutty richness of baked confections.

When evaluating such a profile, it is helpful to consider how these specific descriptors align with broader sensory categories. For instance, stone fruit and dried fruit notes often provide a structured sweetness, while nut-based descriptors like marzipan frequently anchor the finish with a creamy, lingering mouthfeel. To better understand how these individual characteristics interact within the cup, enthusiasts can reference the flavor wheel to map these sensations. This blend serves as an excellent example of how careful roasting can highlight a diverse array of tasting notes, creating a cohesive and engaging experience for the palate.
