Blue Ox Blend 

Babe the Blue Ox, maker of the Mississippi, creator of 10,000 lakes, is now the namesake of our Blue Ox Blend.

A combination of old world and new world coffees, light and dark roasts, this blend hits high and bright up front then lingers dark and smooth in the finish.

It is a post blend that is comprised of our light roast Ethiopian Sidamo, Colombian Dark roast, and a small touch of Sumatran Full City. The trick in this blend is the hand-off of tastes. The Ethiopian shows up first, bright spicy and fruity and then hands off the rest of the cup to the Colombian Dark with its rich chocolate finish, knitted together throughout the experience by the syrupy body of the Sumatran. It is not a subtle blend and I prefer to brew it in a French Press, the most un-subtle of brewing methods.

If you know someone who loves coffee, I would recommend this coffee as a gift in the holiday season. Some unique Minnesota folklore charm pairs beautifully with a straight chocolate cake, or simple shortbread cookies.

Cheers,

Keith
