Animal Natural Season Blend

Natural and washed whole-bean coffee blend. For this Animal Season Blend Natural Edition, we’ve created a bold blend of specialty coffee beans and processing methods.

NATURAL SEASON BLEND

While our Animal Season Blend is a balanced classic, this edition pays tribute to the complexity of the natural process.

To create it, we selected two washed coffees that bring a clean, sophisticated cup and blended them with a naturally processed coffee that adds exceptional body and sweetness.

The result is a bold blend where the clarity of the washed coffees provides a canvas for the fruity profile of the natural process to take center stage.

Looking to elevate your coffee at home?
This edition breaks the mold and is still remarkably versatile. A special experience for your everyday coffee.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS SPECIALTY COFFEE

Aroma: Intensely fruity and sweet.

Flavor: A clean start thanks to Colombia Comunidades Huila, with the balance and sweetness characteristic of México La Tribu, combined with intense fruity notes and the body of Honduras COMSA.

Versatility: The perfect specialty coffee for any brewing method: espresso, pour-over (V60, Chemex), moka pot, or cold brew.

This Natural Season Blend stands out for its distinctive profile, full of intense fruity nuances and great complexity.

It’s a blend designed for those looking for whole-bean coffee with body, sweetness, and the vibrant notes that only the natural process can bring. The result: a cup with character, ripe fruit, and balanced sweetness.

Some coffees are drunk, and some are felt. This blend was designed for those looking for something more: a cup with a «natural soul».

NATURAL ROAST VS. NATURAL PROCESS

One of the coffees in this blend, Honduras COMSA, is naturally processed. That’s why we named this coffee Natural Season Blend.

In commercial coffee and specialty coffee, the term «natural whole-bean coffee» has very different meanings.

When you read natural whole-bean coffee on a supermarket coffee package, it refers to the roast. These are coffee beans roasted without added sugar (that is, not torrefacto-roasted).

However, you’ll never find torrefacto coffee in specialty coffee. The term «natural whole-bean coffee» refers to the process at origin. For a naturally processed specialty coffee, the whole cherry is dried in the sun before the bean is extracted, which adds body, sweetness, and fruity notes.

In short: in commercial coffee, «natural whole-bean coffee» describes the roast, while in specialty coffee, it describes the process.
