What is a blend?

When mixing two or more origin coffee beans together, you are looking to create a flavour that you are unable to get from just a single bean. By knowing what characteristics every bean has it is possible for them to be used to create the coffee you require. There are of course other considerations like roast style and quantities of each bean to be thought of too.

A classic blend is the Mocha Java. This is a blend of two coffee beans, the Mocha bean from Yemen and the Java bean from Indonesia. The Mocha bean is a coffee with lots of flavour and aroma but little body, where as the Java bean has a strong body but simple flavour. By combining the two beans in the right percentages, a coffee which has flavour, acidity and body is created.
