Commonplace Coffee Head Roaster Vikki Harris created this blend using the above descriptors, provided by PAAR, as inspiration. The blend features two coffees:
Mapendo Next is a washed SL-34 lot produced by the Mapendo Cooperative in South Kivu, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We selected this component for its bright acidity, tropical fruit notes, and clarity.
Carolina Posada is a washed Castillo lot from Colombia. We met producer Carolina Posada during her trip to hand-deliver green coffee samples to coffee roasters across the Northeast United States. We selected her coffee for its sweetness and darker fruit notes, which round out the acidity of of this blend.
Taste notes of strawberry, lemon, ginger ale, and dark chocolate in Survivor Blend.
