Founder’s Blend from Community Coffee – What I’m Drinking
The Drink: Founder’s Blend from Community Coffee
Type: Whole Bean
Roast: Medium-Dark
Overall Rating: Four out five coffee cups
Coffee blends can be a dangerous game. Often you don’t know what you’re getting. There are blends were the origins of the beans are left off the label or suspiciously vague. Sometimes, I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m drinking a blend of beans that were found somewhere in the back of the warehouse.
That’s definitely not the case with the Founder’s Blend from Community Coffee. The Founder’s Blend is an impressive mix of Colombia Toledo-Labateca, Kenya AA, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and Brazil Santos Bourbon. The difference in this blend, compared to the others is very clear.
The aroma was just about perfect. Coming from my coffee cup was a floral scent with a nutty hint mixed in.
The taste was intense. Each sip had a lot going on.
On the front of my tongue was a nutty taste. This is where the medium-dark roast flavor came through. This tasted like the Colombian and Brazilian beans.
There was a fruit/winelike taste in the middle. This seemed like evidence of the Kenyan and Ethiopian beans.
Mixed in were hints of dark chocolate, almonds and just touch of citrus fruit like oranges.
And did I mention that there’s a roast date on the bag. Huge bonus points for that.
This would be the perfect kind of coffee to serve when you have friends or family over these holidays. It would also make a pretty good gift. It’s full of flavor and will please most coffee drinkers.
After hearing a lot of positive feedback about last year’s Founder’s Blend, I had high expectations for this coffee. It met all of those expectations and then some. Another solid four out of five on the Daily Shot Of Coffee scale.
The Founder’s Blend is only available for a limited at Community Coffee, so if you’re thinking about it, go for it now.

Community Coffee definitely gets the tip of the hat for this one. It came together well.
I don’t know whether to buy a bag of coffee or run to the local x shop with your DEEP DEEP DEEP explanation of how much you enjoyed this coffee.
I will add it to my list of Community Coffee’s to try.
I don’t think you’ll be able to find this one locally. You’ll have to go online for this one if you really want it.
