Fruit Bomb Blend – Bright & Vibrant: A Triple Punch of Blackcurrant, Apricot, and Jasmine (Light-Medium Roast)

Description

Industry Context

The Fruit Bomb Blend is designed to deliver one thing above all else: impact. It is a coffee that announces itself from the moment the bag is opened — a vivid, unapologetic celebration of fruit-forward intensity. This is not a subtle coffee, nor does it aspire to be. It is crafted for those who seek brightness, clarity, and the kind of flavour clarity that makes you pause mid-sip and acknowledge what you are tasting.

This is the blend of sunlit mornings and warm afternoons — a vibrant expression of specialty coffee at its most exuberant.

Blend Composition

The Fruit Bomb Blend layers three fruit-forward origins, each contributing a distinct dimension of brightness:

• 45% Kenya · Nyeri · Washed · Medium-Light Roast
  The signature acidity. Kenya contributes its iconic blackcurrant and plum-like tartness — a vibrant, clean acidity that sets the tone from the first sip and provides the blend’s structural spine.
• 35% Sidra · Washed · Light-Medium Roast
  The fruit sweetness. Sidra delivers apricot and berry-like sweetness, complemented by a delicate floral layer. It rounds the Kenyan acidity into a more rounded, approachable fruit expression.
• 20% Ethiopia · Yirgacheffe · Washed · Light Roast
  The lift. Yirgacheffe adds bright citrus and the unmistakable floral elegance of jasmine — the high note that elevates the entire blend, creating lift and persistence in the finish.

Flavor Profile

Aroma (Ground): An immediate burst of Kenyan berry fruit and Sidra’s floral-fruity sweetness.

Flavor Progression:

• First sip: Kenyan blackcurrant and plum acidity detonates across the palate with remarkable clarity and intensity
• Mid-cup: Sidra’s apricot and berry sweetness envelops the acidity, adding flesh and weight to the bright opening
• Finish: Yirgacheffe’s jasmine and citrus notes linger — a floral, clean persistence that extends well beyond the final sip

The experience is akin to a mixed berry juice with a floral accent — sweet, tart, and impeccably clean. It is a blend that demands attention and rewards it generously.

Brewing Guidelines

• Pour-over (V60) — Recommended: 1:16 ratio / 92-93°C / Medium-fine grind — optimally articulates the acidity and aromatic complexity of this blend
• Cold Brew: 1:13 ratio / Ambient temperature / Coarse grind — steep refrigerated for 14-16 hours for a refreshing, juice-like expression with fruit characteristics

Recommended For

• Ideal for: Enthusiasts of bright, fruit-forward, and acidic flavour profiles; pour-over brewers who enjoy exploring layered flavour development; those seeking a refreshing, vibrant coffee for warmer months; drinkers who appreciate the “wow” factor in a cup
• Not recommended for: Those who prefer full-bodied, low-acid, or dark-roast profiles; drinkers who find pronounced acidity or fruit-forward flavours off-putting; consumers who exclusively prepare milk-based beverages

Storage & Freshness

This coffee is packaged immediately after roasting in one-way valve bags to degas while preventing oxygen ingress. The lighter roast profile makes this blend more porous and susceptible to flavour loss once opened. We recommend consuming within 1–2 weeks of opening to preserve its vibrant aromatic qualities. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and reseal after each use.
