In this early morning episode, I dive deep into the fascinating world of coffee blends, sharing my personal experience with an accidental discovery that turned into a delightful surprise. I discuss how I combined my Honduras and Peruvian coffees in a 50-50 split, creating a harmonious blend that exceeded my expectations. Through this exploration, I shed light on the reality that most coffees we drink are already blended to some degree, even when labeled as single origin.

I share insights about how coffee, much like wine, is influenced by specific regional conditions, weather patterns, and growing practices. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to experiment with their own coffee blending adventures and provide practical tips for trying this at home. Listeners will learn about the nuances of coffee blending, gain a deeper understanding of coffee origins, and discover how to approach coffee tasting with a more experimental mindset.
