MVP Blend

Mexico. Vietnam. And of course, Philippines. Get this medium roast while it is still in season! Say "hello" to MVP Blend: A new version of an old blend, paying respect to the less glitz-and-glamour coffee producers, in the same vein as our best selling seasonal VIP Blend. MVP Blend brews up a straightforward and well-rounded cup with balanced sweetness and a finish like a chocolate orange.

Both of these blends represent their origins in the name, but we aren't going to say that any coffee producers are the "Most" Valuable Producers the way we focused on Very Important Producers. A comparative and subjective superlative is not the point here; rather we wanted to highlight our neighbors to the south, Mexico, while keeping the light shining on Vietnamese and Philippine coffee. While the people we associate with in coffee aren't dismissive of any origin outright, there are still some people out there only sticking to the narrow lane of what they are told is good.

The MVP Blend, crafted by Mostra Coffee, represents a focused approach to Mexican coffee production. By combining beans from this specific origin, the roaster aims to highlight a profile defined by balanced sweetness and distinct notes of chocolate orange. While individual lots vary, Mexican coffees are often recognized for their approachable, clean character, making them a versatile choice for both espresso and filter brewing methods.

When evaluating the nuances of a blend like this, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between the cocoa-toned base and the brighter citrus elements. Understanding how these flavor categories interact can deepen one's appreciation for the roaster's craft in achieving such a harmonious cup. Whether enjoyed as a morning ritual or a mid-day treat, this blend offers a consistent experience that showcases the potential of its regional components through careful selection and roasting.
