Fellow's Take on BlendIn Coffee Club Burundi Turaco Medium-Dark | 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!

This coffee was grown on small family farms and fully washed under constant supervision to ensure the highest cup quality. We tasted brown sugar, apple pie, and milk chocolate - great as espresso or as a comforting drip cup.
