A roasting mistake that resulted in blended brilliance!... Again!
We all make mistakes from time to time, in fact we embrace them here at OddKin.
Without mistakes, we can’t get better, and we love getting better!
Our wonderful Head Roaster Jess made her best ever mistake a couple of years ago, and this year she's apparently decided to celebrate this anniversary once more, by dropping a drum full of fruity, natural Chinese coffee beans into a cooling tray of sweet, washed Rwandan.
The result? A one off, never to be seen again batch of high quality, complex blendy blend.
It's giving notes of Raspberry, Citrus & Maple Syrup
Well done, Jess.
More about Jess' Accidental Blend:
Blended coffees are often perceived as inferior to single origins, associated with poor quality and mass production.
In reality, when it comes to speciality blends this couldn’t be further from the truth.
We really enjoy blending coffee beans at OddKin, so much so that we launched our Blend Friends Series, partnering with fellow UK roasters to experiment with flavour profiles and characteristics.
Coffee blends require complex chemistry skills and understanding to ensure the right extraction, and we’re lucky to have a brilliant team of roasters working hard to master this art.
Jess is our Head Roaster and a huge part of the team. Coffee obsessed with a serious eye for detail, she roasts hundreds of kilos for us a day with ease.
Since the moment she joined OddKin, we always knew she was a natural. Such a natural in fact, that she manages to create a batches of blended brilliance without meaning to.
