Unlock the Wonder

The Wonderblend is back for its 6th consecutive year! Since its conception in 2021, our Head Roaster and Director of Coffee chose coffees that, while can stand alone as great single-origin options, can work together to create a uniquely sweet coffee, leaning towards fruity, vibrant flavors. It perfectly exemplifies the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. 

This year, we put together three offerings, all which are a mix of Natural and Anaerobic Natural processed coffees, from three rather unique coffee growing regions:  India Gundikhan (Natural),  Bali Kintamani (Natural), and  Java Mt Igen (Anaerobic Natural). When we cupped this coffee, we were reminded of fruity and bold flavors, reminiscent of strawberry wine, cherry candy, blue raspberry and gooseberry, which perfectly describes how playful, intensely fruity and unapologetically expressive this blend is. It has allowed both our guests and baristas alike to look forward to this offering for the past 6 years. 


Wonderblend is a vibrant, fruit-forward blend with remarkable complexity, so we decided to brew using the ORIGAMI AIR. Its 20 deep ribs create plenty of airflow between the dripper and filter, encouraging a fast, even drawdown while giving you the flexibility to fine-tune your pour. The result is a cup with exceptional clarity that lets Wonderblend's layered fruit character, lively acidity, and syrupy sweetness truly shine. Made from lightweight AS resin, the ORIGAMI AIR also retains heat throughout the brew, helping deliver a balanced, consistent extraction that highlights everything this expressive blend has to offer.

Here is are recommended recipes for both hot & iced brews of this offering that you can use to brew at home:
