The Rise Up Blend, crafted by Volcano Coffee Works, represents a thoughtful collaboration between two distinct origins. By combining beans from Brazil with those sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo—specifically from the Idjwi Island region—this blend highlights the work of the Rebuild Women's Hope producer group. The profile is achieved through a combination of natural and washed processing methods, which work in tandem to balance the cup. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward heavier fruit profiles and washed coffees typically offer cleaner acidity, this blend bridges those characteristics to deliver notes of raspberry candy, orange rind, and milk chocolate. For those looking to better understand how these specific descriptors fit into a broader sensory experience, consulting a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying the nuances present in this unique office-focused offering.
