PSU Victor's Blend

In collaboration with Portland State University, Victor's Blend is roasted for the PSU fan! 

As Oregon's "most diverse, innovative and affordable research university," this coffee celebrates PSU's commitment to progress and inclusivity with a medium roast that tastes of hazelnut, milk chocolate and orange.

PSU Victor's Blend, crafted by Water Avenue Coffee, represents a classic approach to coffee roasting that prioritizes comfort and balance. By focusing on a profile defined by hazelnut, milk chocolate, and orange, this blend highlights the harmonious intersection of nutty undertones and bright, citrus-forward acidity. Such combinations are often sought after for their versatility, performing equally well as a standalone drip coffee or as a base for milk-based espresso drinks.

When evaluating the nuances of a blend like this, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the specific characteristics of the roast. While individual preferences vary, blends featuring chocolate and nut notes are generally prized for their approachable, full-bodied mouthfeel and consistent sweetness. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a casual drinker, exploring the interplay between these distinct flavor categories can deepen your appreciation for the intentionality behind a roaster’s final selection.
