Blending

The combination of coffee beans from two or more origins to balance the overall flavor or production costs. While it’s most common to see coffee roasted to a similar level and blended after roasting, some roasters pre-blend the green before the roasting process. There are many advantages to blending coffee. Roasters will blend to create a desired profile, such as a seasonal or year round selection, or even blend in order to phase out aging or less desirable coffee.
