From the roaster

After 2000 hours of demoing coffee in grocery stores I can say for certain there is no single style of coffee mentioned more than "breakfast blend". So, here it is. Generally I'm averse to styles, but there's that thing where you give the people what they want and hopefully they'll be happy. Descriptors like mild yet strong and smooth is fairly easy to pinpoint as a roaster.You'll see that here so I wanted a slight twist and I went after Rain Forest Alliance coffees. Why does it matter? Well it does limit me in a manner of speaking the coffees available. There are far, far, far, far, far, far more organic only and fair trade coffees than there are RFA, but i'm not complaining. 

Since 2019 this blend is a combo of a Mierisch washed from Nicaragua and also a coffee we get from Ethiopia.

Context

Produced by the Mierisch family in Nicaragua, this Breakfast Blend from Royal Mile Coffee is a classic example of a washed-process coffee. The washed method, which involves removing the fruit flesh before drying the beans, is often utilized to highlight the inherent characteristics of the coffee cherry and the terroir of the region. You can learn more about how this technique influences the final cup in our processing methods explainer.

In the cup, this selection is characterized by the roaster as mild, strong, and smooth. These descriptors suggest a balanced profile that avoids extreme acidity or bitterness, making it a versatile choice for a morning brew. To better understand how these sensory qualities fit into the broader spectrum of coffee profiles, we recommend consulting our flavor wheel. Whether enjoyed black or with a splash of milk, this Nicaraguan offering provides a consistent and approachable experience for those who appreciate a clean, traditional cup.
