This fall, we are celebrating the season with the return of our Rougarou blend. In Cajun legends, the Rougarou is said to prowl around the swamps of Southern Louisiana. If you see a Rougarou in the swamps, don't tell anyone about it, because you might turn into one! The legend of the Rougarou has been spread for generations and we are excited to build on this tradition. It has quickly become one of our favorite seasonal blends!
The blend is made up of Honduran and Peruvian coffee. The Honduran portion is grown by the same Roger Dominguez from our single origin offering, although this coffee is washed and from a different farm. It is very clean and has a fudgy sweetness that pairs nicely with the well-balanced Peru. The Peru portion is grown by many small holding producers in the Cajamarca region.
The Rougarou is not as light and bright as Summer Buzz, rather it's a true medium roast that highlights those lower baseline chocolate notes. It should pair really well with any milk you choose. While the weather might not be cooling down, the calendar moves on! So cheers to slowly but surely making our way out of summer and into fall.
Additional tasting notes include sweet chocolate brownie, praline, and caramel.
