Fellow's Take on BlendIn Coffee Club Burundi Turaco Light | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this beautiful washed coffee roasted in Houston, TX, by BlendIn. Try both the light and dark roasts to explore how roasting affects flavor!

Based in Houston, TX, BlendIn was founded by US Brewers Cup champ Weihong Zhang, and offers rare premium coffees alongside the reliably delicious. This fully washed lot is named after the Turaco, an iconic bird native to Burundi. We tasted vanilla, red apple, and cherry.
