Dolly Blend

Sweet Honey | Apple Pie | Blenheim Apricot | Dark Fruit

The Dolly was a happy accident, and we've never looked back.

Technically a single-origin coffee. Technically a blend. Here's what happened: when we profiled our Ethiopia Natural Iwariti on the lighter side, it came out bright and sweet - soft apricot, lilac, honey. When we pushed it heavier, it turned thick and punchy - dark fruit, baking spice, depth. So we combined both roast profiles into one bag. The Dolly Blend was born.

It's been a favorite behind our cafe bars for years - consistent enough to pull shot after shot, complex enough to keep you interested. It works just as well at home in your French press or pour over.

A crowd-pleaser that doesn't talk down to you.
