Roaster's Notes:

Paramount is our exciting light roasted blend focused on being excellent in all brewing devices on the market. This blend is specifically formulated to align our sourcing values, quality standards, and long-term relationships. A perfect mix of Ethiopian, Brazilian, and Guatemalan coffees; all three origins in this blend represent long term relationships with excellent coffee producing groups. Sourcing from three continents for this blend gives us the opportunity to share our view of the global coffee world in one cup of coffee.

The Paramount Blend, crafted by Victrola Coffee Roasters, represents a global collaboration between three distinct coffee-growing regions. By sourcing from SNAP in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, Cocarive in Mantiqueira de Minas, Brazil, and One Guatemala in Quiche, the roaster balances diverse terroir profiles within a single cup. This blend utilizes both washed and pulped natural processing methods, techniques that significantly influence the final cup’s body and acidity. While washed coffees often highlight clean, bright acidity, pulped natural processes can contribute a heavier, sweeter mouthfeel.

In the cup, this selection presents a profile defined by nectarine, butterscotch, and milk chocolate. These descriptors fall within the sweet and fruit-forward categories often explored when using a flavor wheel to analyze complex blends. By combining the floral, tea-like clarity often associated with Ethiopian origins with the nutty, chocolatey foundations typical of Brazilian and Guatemalan coffees, the Paramount Blend offers a structured experience that bridges traditional and modern flavor expectations.
