Bright Blend

This blend was designed for those that are seeking adventure, a coffee that will keep them striving onward and upward to whatever challenges the day brings. This coffee has a flavor profile of vibrant, sweet and fruity notes, anchored in a soft pleasing acidity, like ripe raspberries. Bright is a blend of the latest Eastern African washed coffees we have in house, mostly Ethiopian and a little bit of Kenyan coffees. This is a staff favorite, the one we usually bring home on the weekends to accompany us on our escapades.

The Bright Blend, crafted by Kuma Coffee, highlights the vibrant, high-toned characteristics often associated with coffees from Eastern Africa. By utilizing a washed process, this selection emphasizes a clean, crisp profile that allows the inherent acidity of the beans to shine. Generally, washed coffees are celebrated for their ability to showcase terroir with precision, often resulting in a refined cup that highlights clarity over the heavier body sometimes found in other methods. You can learn more about how these processing methods influence the final cup profile in our educational archives.

With tasting notes of berries, florals, citrus, and tropical fruit, this blend offers a complex sensory experience. When evaluating such a diverse array of notes, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify and articulate the specific nuances present in your brew. This blend serves as an excellent example of the bright, fruit-forward potential found within the region.
