We let the coffee components guide us and tinkered with roast until the full image took shape. It’s an approachable and lovable counterpoint to many of our heftier blends. ## Beta Blend While many of our blends are noteworthy for their deep warmth, Beta Blend is glassy, complex, and floral. - #### Blend Inspiration Unlike our other blends, Beta Blend wasn’t designed around a set flavor profile; instead, we paired seasonal single origins that were too small to sell but too good to pass up, creating a surprising and harmonious cup. - #### Flavor Profile Delicate enough to catch our attention and layered enough to make us want more, this blend is caramel-sweet as a pour over and stone-fruit-bright as cold brew. - #### Taste Comparison Enjoy Beta Blend in our Balanced Subscription, curated by our coffee experts to offer a well-rounded taste of our balanced coffees.
