Wonder /ˈwəndər/ n. – a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable (Oxford Dictionary)
Wonderblend /ˈwəndərblend/ n. – A coffee blend that evokes a sense of wonder and awe, brought on by the whimsical, vibrant, and extraordinary combination of remarkably unique coffees (Temple Coffee Roasters)
Wonderblend is our perennial seasonal blend with fresh, popping flavors. Each year, we pair unique coffees together for a playful blend. Our fifth version of Wonderblend features two distinct, naturally processed coffees: Papua New Guinea Jiwaka Arufa Natural and Rwanda Sholi Natural. Natural processed coffees leave the cherry fruit, pulp, and mucilage layers on during the drying stage, resulting in coffees with a much sweeter, fruit-forward tasting profile. This year, we wanted to really push for a punchy, wild blend. The Papua New Guinea Jiwaka Arufa Natural was an exceptional standout as we were looking for unique Indo-Pacific coffees for our Roaster's Choice offerings. Rwanda Sholi Natural is a women-produced coffee that we have featured before, originally intended for our Lotus Blend, but we wanted to give it more of a spotlight. In the end, we paired two intense naturals reminiscent of lemonade and elderberry. Both of these coffees have undergone extended fermentations, so they are more intense, wonderful as a pour over, or even espresso for the adventurous. We hope you enjoy this year's Wonderblend just in time for the summer.
