With its Select Harvest Curated Coffee series, Trader Joe's puts a spotlight on two premium, whole-bean coffees from some of the most well-known coffee-growing parts of the world. As well as being standouts on their own, together, the coffee beans make an even more flavorful pairing.
This particular Select Harvest Curated Coffee from Trader Joe's is a 50/50 blend of coffee beans from both Huehuetenango, Guatemala and Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka, India. While the Guatemalan beans boast notes of chocolate, fruit and citrus notes, the Indian beans are described as "aromatic with a buttery texture and notes of roasted nuts and subtle earthy undertones."
The combined light-medium roast Guatemalan beans and the medium roast Indian coffee beans form a pairing that makes for a full-bodied, balanced cup of coffee.
