What makes our Wiener Melange unique?

A unique blend should, of course, remain unique, so the background information is naturally the secret to a cheerful mood!

Region: This blend naturally doesn't come from a specific region, as it's a blend of different coffee varieties. Here's a little hint: a large portion of the coffee beans in this blend come from Brazil.

Process: The raw, pure coffee varieties are roasted first, and then the secret blend creates this Wiener Melange. This blend is roasted using different processes. It's a mix of dark-roast and light-roast!

We call this coffee variety ‘Wiener Melange’—not to be confused with the special coffee preparation known as Viennese Wiener Melange (read the original recipe below).

The original recipe for Viennese Wiener Melange

Does the special coffee preparation called Wiener Melange really come from Vienna? Yes, as its name suggests, Wiener Melange is a coffee drink that originated in Vienna's coffeehouses. It's a classic coffee preparation made with black coffee or espresso, warm milk, milk foam, and often a touch of whipped cream. Grated chocolate is sprinkled on top of the whipped cream. The original recipe also calls for an egg yolk, but these days the egg yolk is usually left out.
You'll need the following ingredients to make Viennese Wiener Melange:

• 150 ml black coffee (or espresso) made with our Wiener Melange coffee beans
• 70 ml warm, frothed milk (be careful not to let the milk boil)
• 50 mL whipped cream
• Grated bittersweet or dark chocolate
• Optional: 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Preparation

To make Wiener Melange, start by brewing a cup of black coffee or a shot of espresso, made by forcing hot water at high pressure through finely ground coffee beans. Next, add warm milk to the espresso, usually in the same proportions as for a cappuccino. The milk gives Wiener Melange a creamy, smooth flavor. If you'd like to add an egg yolk for an extra-creamy Wiener Melange, now's the time. Make sure the egg yolk is well mixed with the brown sugar, and keep stirring as you add it to the coffee. Then pour whipped cream over the Wiener Melange. The whipped cream can range from fine and smooth to thick and airy, depending on the preference of the person preparing it. The whipped cream gives Wiener Melange an extra-creamy flavor and makes it a decadent treat. Finally, sprinkle the grated chocolate on top of the whipped cream. Wiener Melange is a special coffee, thanks to the sweet combination of chocolate and the sensation of hot and cold. Wiener Melange is usually served not in a regular coffee cup, but in a large cup or a tall glass. It can be enjoyed with a spoon. It's a delicious coffee variation known for its velvety texture, balanced flavor, and creamy milk components.
