The Story Behind the Temptation Blend
Our award-winning Temptation Blend is a symphony of flavors, a testament to our coffee roasting. This heavy-bodied brew, adorned with sweet caramel, citrus, and delicate floral notes, is a delight for discerning coffee lovers.
The Inspiration Behind the Blend
In 2019 I was asked by Honestly Kitchen – one of our first customers – if we could create a blend for them, fully organic. I was already planning to become organic registered, so I happily jumped on the quest, contacted the Organic Trust to start our registration and implementing organic procedures, contacting our green coffee suppliers, asking for samples. Then covid hit, we got our organic certification a few days after the first lockdown.
As everything stopped I was on my own in our coffee roastery looking for something to do, needing a distraction. I put on some of my favourite music in the speaker (we have a really good one in our roastery, we love music) and happily jumped into roasting all the samples, tasting and creating our first organic blend. To be honest I never had the chance to work without distraction, I was fully immersed in the process, I loved it. I felt lucky to have a chance to spend as much time as I wanted with something I truly enjoy. When I got the blend it needed a name. I mostly listened the band The Temptations in those days, especially one of my favourite: Papa was a rolling stone. The coffee is soo good, it’s tempting to have another cup, so I thought the name Temptation is fitting.
