Description
Eyes Wide Open (EWO) is a blend of coffees, roasted with intention of appealing to the widest range of palates. The flavor profile is generally dried fruits, cocoa, and nuts, but more specifically dates, dark chocolate, and dry-roasted walnuts. The flavor profile develops and improves as it cools.
Because coffee is an agricultural product, no harvest of coffee is available year-round. This means any blend must replace its constituent components as the year passes; EWO is designed with modularity in mind, so the flavor profile can be both sophisticated and repeatable no matter the time of year.
Currently EWO is a blend of coffees from Brazil, Colombia, and Ethiopia. These coffees represent a variety of processing methods: the Brazil is a pulp-natural, the Colombia a washed, and the Ethiopia a natural. These processes are partially a measure of how much fruit is removed from the coffee bean before fermentation and drying. For washed coffees everything is removed, pulp-natural some fruit is left, and natural coffees are dried fully in the berry.
EWO has a balanced sweetness, acidity, and brightness. It provides enough complexity to appeal to the coffee connoisseur, while also being approachable for the average coffee drinker.
Currently offered as whole bean only.
