ORIGIN STORY

A wild flavor trip through notes of juicy candied orange, mulling spices, and a buttery body will have you imagining the flickering sunrise off Lake Michigan with nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...

The LSD Blend, crafted by Passion House Coffee, offers a complex profile that bridges the gap between comforting, traditional base notes and vibrant, fruit-forward acidity. By combining the deep, grounding flavors of milk chocolate and roasted walnut with the bright, aromatic lift of blueberry, candied orange, and mulling spices, this blend demonstrates the versatility of modern roasting techniques.

When evaluating such a diverse array of flavors, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the nutty, cocoa-heavy foundation and the more volatile, fruit-driven top notes. While blends often aim for a specific balance, the inclusion of mulling spices alongside citrus and berry elements suggests a cup that evolves significantly as it cools. This combination invites drinkers to explore how different processing methods and origins can be harmonized to create a singular, layered experience that remains approachable yet intellectually engaging for the curious palate.
