Description
As Huckleberry Roasters’ first ever blend, Blue Orchid describes HUCK, as it is known to locals & long-time fans, perfectly: an eclectic group of proud coffee people that take our work seriously, and feel a responsibility to our work with intentionality. At the same time, we know that specialty coffee remains intimidating & unwelcoming for many coffee drinkers, so HUCK seeks to be friendly and approachable to all people who walk through our doors or bring our coffee into their homes & offices. Blue Orchid Blend was named after a song that rocked the walls of our first roasting “warehouse” in 2011 – in truth, it was a tiny garage in the founder’s house in Denver, Colorado next door to a backyard chicken coop. Blue Orchid is Huckleberry Roaster’s house espresso blend that we serve every day in our cafes, and it is designed to be approachable, both as espresso and as a brewed coffee, with and without milk. While the Blue Orchid blend components do change with the coffee seasons, HUCK’s team of award-winning coffee roasters maintain a year-round sweet, full-bodied, chocolate and caramel flavor profile by using Central and South American coffees specifically chosen for those qualities. This is great tasting comfort coffee, and is a well-rounded crowd pleaser, especially if some of that crowd likes cream in their cup, or is still making the transition from darker roast profiles into specialty coffee. HUCK loves intense floral aromatics, but some mornings we just want the chocolate, toffee, and a bit of milk in our mug – and for those days, Blue Orchid is the go-to.
