Blending Expertise
Premium coffee is often compared to wine, in that both beverages derive critical taste elements based on the raw materials used and the way they are processed. In the wine world, Merlot has become widely popular, because vintners have discovered that they can deliver complexity by combining different grapes.
The PapaNicholas Family has been roasting and blending coffee for over 100 years. Early on, family members discovered the benefits of combining coffees from different origins, to deliver more complex cups of coffee that were rich and full-bodied. When the first blends were developed, different coffees were put in the roaster together, because there was really no better alternative.
The family understood the taste characteristics associated with different coffees from different origins. While some coffees might contain superior fruity essence, they sometimes lack body, or mouth-feel, that translate into richness. So for over 100 years, the family has experimented with different combinations, taking that fruity coffee, and combining it with a coffee that delivers great body, to develop a superior cup.
