Blanchard's Rosedale
Here I have another amazing bean from the people of Blanchard's Coffee Roasting Company out of Richmond, Virginia. Every coffee has a story to tell that includes the land where it was grown, the hands that nurtured it from seed to harvest, the craftsmen who roasted it, and the communities it supported along the way. Blanchard's Coffee Roasting Co. honors each coffee's story with a commitment to sustainability in the global coffee community through responsible sourcing, stewardship, and thoughtful roasting. Roasting better coffee is a continuing journey, one that includes their farmers and customers alike, and they are proud to share it with us.
This is their Rosedale blend. Named for the Richmond, Virginia neighborhood where their roasting facility is located, Rosedale is designed to be their most versatile offering, perfect for use as a brighter, more complex espresso, a sweet, fruity batch brew, or even a complex, floral hand pour. It is a blend of washed Central America beans & natural African beans. I brewed this at my standard 1:12 ratio. They did strike a nice balance between the fruity African & chocolaty Central American beans. This was a very nice floral and bright cup. Nice berries & citrus. But also had some nice chocolaty, nutty body as well. This was a very nice cup of cold brew.
Many thanks again go to Stephen and the Blanchard's crew, as they've been supporters of mine since day one. But they also know their coffee, so it's my privilege to be able to share their great skills with you all.
