BRIGHTEN UP YOUR MORNING WITH THIS LATE WINTER BLEND
When creating seasonal blends like Lake Effect, we aim to capture the feelings and flavors reminiscent of that particular season. The blend should highlight the strength of its components, as well as present a totally new tasting experience. In the dead of Midwest winter, scattered glimpses of sunshine remind us that spring isn’t too far in the distance. Lake Effect is inspired by these warm and hopeful moments.
Two coffees from Africa were selected for this year’s Lake Effect blend. Gatomboya from Karatina, Nyeri County, Kenya makes up two thirds of the blend. Bright and acidic like a perfectly ripened citrus, this coffee provides a welcomed contrast to rich winter sweets. The remaining third of the blend is Suke Quto from Guji, Odo Shakisso, Ethiopia, chosen for its delicate florality and complimenting citrus notes. Once blended, Lake Effect takes on a deliciously juicy body, with radiant notes of pomelo, apricot, and lemon sugar.
