Whiteout Blend

Whiteout is a year-round blend pairing a dark roasted Brazilian bean with a light roasted, natural process Ethiopian bean from Kayon Mountain Farm. The 50/50 split balances deep, roasty body against bright, fruit-forward sweetness for a cup that bridges both ends of the roast spectrum. Originally a winter seasonal, it is now a permanent offering by popular demand.

How to brew

Brew as drip or pour-over at a 1:16 ratio for a balanced cup that shows both the dark roast body and the bright Ethiopian fruit. A French press deepens the chocolate notes for a richer winter mug.

Flavor profile

Whiteout marries two polarizing profiles into one harmonious cup: the dark roasted Brazilian bean brings chocolate depth and body, while the natural process Ethiopian adds berry sweetness and lift. The contrast works much like warm sunny days in the middle of a Minnesota winter.
