Let’s Talk About Blonde Roast
You might know that Blonde Roast coffee is known for its light and approachable flavor profile. It’s roasted for a shorter time than darker roasts, allowing the beans to retain more of their natural characteristics. The result is a cup of coffee that’s bright, mellow, and has a subtle acidity. Blonde Roast is perfect for those who prefer a gentler coffee experience without sacrificing complexity.
Blonde Roast serves as an excellent canvas for a variety of flavors, making it an ideal choice for crafting festive holiday drinks. In the case of our Festive Blonde Bliss, we’ve carefully selected complementary ingredients to enhance the natural notes of the Blonde Roast.
Gather up your ingredients
– 2 tablespoons Blonde Roast coffee grounds
– 1 cup water
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
