By blending multiple coffee bean types in varying percentages, roasters are able to create dozens of flavor profiles with a broad range of qualities. Blends may bring together as few as two or as many as seven or eight bean types, with the average blend consisting of four or five types of beans.rnrnIn creating a blend, the goal is to achieve a balanced, distinct flavor profile that can then be consistently reproduced. Beans are chosen for their ability to complement each other, based on flavor, aroma and body. Blends often provide a more complex character than is available with varietals or single origins alone. An example of a coffee blend is Mocha Java, a blend of coffee from the Indonesian island of Java and coffee exported through the ancient port city of Al Mokha in the southern Arabian country of Yemen. Created in the mid 1600’s, Mocha Java is considered the world’s original coffee blend.rnrnDetermining what percentages and types of coffee beans to be used in a given blend is the job of the roastmaster. This exacting process is considered one of the most revered talents in coffee making, and is the cornerstone of each blend’s discrete personality.
