Grao: The Sun Riser

Origins of the Sun Riser Blend

The magic behind the Sun Riser Blend lies in its carefully chosen origins:

• Cerrado, Brazil – Known for its nutty, chocolatey notes, Brazilian beans from this region add a rich base to the blend. Cerrado beans are famous for their low acidity and well-rounded flavor, making them the perfect foundation for a balanced morning brew.
• Kochere, Ethiopia – Ethiopia is often considered the birthplace of coffee, and Kochere is home to some of the most vibrant coffee flavors in the world. Ethiopian beans contribute fruity, floral notes to the blend, providing a bright and uplifting element to your morning cup.
• Supremo, Colombia – Colombian coffee is synonymous with smooth, well-balanced flavors, and the Supremo beans bring a subtle sweetness to the mix. The Colombian component ties together the citrus and floral notes with a delightful finish.

How Coffee Blends Are Crafted

Creating a coffee blend is like crafting a piece of art. Roasters begin by selecting beans with complementary characteristics, such as sweetness, acidity, and body. They then experiment with different ratios to achieve the perfect balance. This process involves a lot of trial and error, as even small changes in the proportions of each bean can dramatically affect the final flavor.
