A “Greatest Hits” of Ethiopia Blend

Named after the 100k long MacLehose trail, we aimed for a blend that is complex, elegant and that can be enjoyed every morning without becoming dull.

To achieve this, we focused on Ethiopian single origin beans. These coffees are widely considered to be the best you can buy. They are famously floral, fruity and require delicate a preparation to bring out their best attributes. 

The MacLehose celebrates all the tastes that make Ethiopian coffees great. We added intensely floral beans with a character found through out the region. We mixed in beans that exhibit a very berry, fruity character to give it sweetness. Finally we added some slightly darker roasts to add a honeyed depth.

The result is a blend that is far more complex than it’s individual parts. Like walking through a field of honeysuckle, while snacking on plums. The layers of sweetness makes this a cup you will keep coming back to.

The Daily Blends

It would be great if every single day I could wake up and savour the nuances of single origin and specialty coffees, but sometimes, if I’m being honest, they’re a bit much. Sometimes (like every Monday to Friday where I’m yelling at my kid to stop jumping on the bed or he’s going to miss the school bus, or those other days when going to the office is like going off to war and I know that there better be an extra happy happy-hour after work) you just want a damn coffee that isn’t crap.

Well this is our solution. Introducing BeanCurious’ sweet, nutty blends that are custom mixed by our master roaster to be your go-to-cup of goodness that won’t break the bank. These every day blends are smooth, full bodied coffees containing some of our most popular beans: Yunnan, Hondoras, Guatemala. Use them in your aeropress, espresso machine, office drip maker or wherever you find yourself. Blend the dark brew with milk, oats, soy, add a sinful touch of sugar if you like, or just drink it black, however you enjoy your coffee these workhorse coffee blends will start your day right.

And don’t worry, just because the price is neat we are still committed to supporting sustainability and paying fair prices for the beans. We’re just buying the off-auction beans from the same farms our single-origins come from. If you know wine, think of these as like a Bordeaux second wine, they’re not the choicest the supplier has to offer, but the 2nd tier of beans from top-quality suppliers.
