Dancing Goats® Blend

This historic signature blend is named for the goats that, according to legend, discovered the power of coffee. It has been served to passionate specialty coffee fans far and wide since 1988.

This bold and toasty blend is dark, smooth, and sweet with a beautiful aroma. Exceptionally clean and balanced acidity accompanies a heavy body and pronounced nuttiness reminiscent of almonds. The sweetness is predominantly chocolate but includes hints of caramel. The flavor of fresh citrus fruits emerges from beneath the sweet spice notes in the finish.

The Dancing Goats® Blend, crafted by Kaldi's Coffee Roasting Co., represents a classic approach to coffee composition, balancing deep, comforting base notes with brighter, aromatic highlights. By combining elements of almonds, chocolate, and caramel with the lift of fresh citrus fruits and sweet spice, this blend offers a multifaceted profile that appeals to a wide range of brewing preferences.

In the broader landscape of specialty coffee, blends are often designed to achieve a specific harmony that single-origin coffees might not provide, layering different roast profiles or origins to create a consistent, reliable cup. When evaluating such complex flavor profiles, enthusiasts often refer to the flavor wheel to better identify and articulate the nuances between the savory, nutty foundations and the more volatile, fruit-forward top notes. Whether enjoyed as a morning drip or a structured espresso, this blend showcases the roaster's commitment to creating a balanced and approachable sensory experience.
