Equator blend coffee is bright and balanced, with a lively citrus tone and warm, woodsy depth. Expect notes of sweet grapefruit, aromatic wood, cedar, apricot and nutmeg.
Equator blend coffee brings together coffees from well-known growing regions, including Lintong coffee from Sumatra. It also includes a fully washed coffee from Kenya, which adds brightness and helps highlight the cedar, apricot and nutmeg notes.
Fully washed is a processing method that emphasizes clarity and brightness in the cup. In this blend coffee, the fully washed Kenya component contributes a clean, lively character that helps the flavor feel more lifted.
Equator blend coffee is a great choice for everyday brewing, whether you prefer a drip coffee maker, pour-over or French press. Start with your usual method, then adjust your coffee-to-water ratio to bring out more brightness or more depth depending on your taste.
Each pound of Equator blend coffee helps fund the Sumatran Tiger Trust, a conservation program. It’s an easy way to enjoy your daily cup while supporting work connected to the region that produces one of the blend’s coffees.
