Anthem Blend is our gateway to the world of specialty coffee: easygoing, familiar, yet complex and surprising enough to satisfy the seasoned coffee amateur in your life. Sweet and balanced, this blend works well for espresso brewing and for those who enjoy a full-bodied and satisfying filter or French press coffee. Our current version of Anthem Blend features three coffees from two amazing coffee-producing countries: BRAZIL and COLOMBIA.

For the first component of the Anthem Blend, we have chosen a regional blend from the Cerrado Mineiro region of Brazil. Sourced from the lovely Emma and Bruna of Bossa Coffee, a Brazilian coffee import company. Bruna Costa, who comes from a family of coffee producers in the Minas Gerais region in Brazil, sources from her family’s farms and also works with Expocacer, a large export company in Brazil that represents over 700 coffee producers throughout the Cerrado Mineiro region. As it is a regional blend, this component is a mix of multiple local varietals, all naturally processed to ensure a balanced classic Brazilian profile, giving you a lovely chocolatey aroma with some dark berry-like and mellow citrusy fruitiness, ending off with a wholenut-like finish and pleasant aftertaste.

Thinking of a good complement for the Brazilian profile, we chose a lot produced in the region of Huila in Colombia. The department of Huila’s unique agroclimatic conditions make it a big player in the production of Colombian coffee, being bordered on the east and west by mountain ranges and traversed by the mighty Magdalena River. Bruselas, which is part of the municipality of Pitalito, sits in southern Huila bordered on both sides by national parks, and there the most of coffee in the Andes Region is produced hence the name ‘Andino’ for this delicious coffee. 

This coffee is a blend of coffee varieties castillo, caturra and bourbon that are sun-dried on parabolic covered patios and covered raised beds. 

Andino’s geographic features are the perfect environment for the production of this lot that showcases subtle notes of flowers, fruity flavours such as blackberry, plum and green grape with an incomparable sweetness of tropical fruits like lime, starfruit, passion fruit and tangerine. 

Simply said, this new Anthem Blend is a complex and balanced coffee: enjoy the subtle floral aroma, then notes of milk chocolate, grapefruit acidity and tropical fruit sweetness.  As an espresso, it’s literally a fruit bomb of flavours; with milk it brings extra creamy, milkshake vibes!
