About This Coffee

GRANDE is an Arabica blend composed of 50% Brazilian Arabica and 50% Monsooned Arabica from India. The Brazilian Arabica contributes a harmonious, mild character with low acidity and light body, while the Indian Arabica adds spice and depth. Roasted using a traditional long-duration drum roasting process, the blend features chocolatey notes, nuances of cedar, cocoa beans, and vanilla, with a hint of raspberry. Full-bodied, robust, and balanced, it is suitable for all brewing methods.

Blank Roast

Blank Roast is a coffee manufactory nestled in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, right on Germany's famous Wine Route — an unusual but fitting location for a roaster that draws on terroir-thinking. Master roaster Holger K. Blank has been at the helm since 2007, using a beautifully restored 1930s roasting machine fitted with modern controls. His unique approach includes adding organic grapevines from the surrounding region during the roasting process, which adds moisture and coaxes out extra aroma from the beans. The result is a distinctly smooth, aromatic cup with notes of vanilla, almond, and cinnamon developed during the 15-to-20-minute slow roast. Customers can watch the entire roasting process from their café seats while enjoying breakfast and freshly brewed coffee — a true sensory experience.
