Tasting notes: graham cracker, citrus zest, dark chocolate, almond. 

This is always the newest + freshest edition of Landspeed. Throughout the year, Middle State continually changes which coffees go into making up this blend due to seasonality of the fruit itself. This always allows for some fun + interesting, yet consistent flavor profiling of the blend. This time around, with no surprise, we have a delicious washed Ethiopian, + a much needed surprise of a pulped natural Ethiopian. The Washed Ethiopian brings those nice floral, fruity, + subtle acidity notes that play + compliment its other half. The Konga is the Natural component this time around + it brings nice deep funky fruits, chocolates + some deep honey undertones, toffees, chocolates + magic acidity, while still carrying in lots of cherry fruit flavors. Both coffees are a party in themselves, but together, they manage to create those early 90’s rave parties that only the cool kids knew about. Except in this case, everyone is the cool kid + you all are invited to this party.

Both coffees in the blend are pretty special in the sense that Middle State would have bought each one as Single Origin offerings due to the fact that they are both just so good. They don’t short change the blend with more moderately priced coffees in order to make up for something that each coffee lacks, or because they are going to be a blend. Rather, they choose to spend top dollar on coffees that stand out on their own, as they would for a Single Origin offering, + that are ethically grown + produced without any sacrifice in humane practices as well. This allows the blend to be that much better than it would be with cheaper coffees. They then roast each coffee individually with matching solubilities so when they are joined in the chaos that is a portafilter, they know that they are going to play well with one another.
