Starbucks stores in Bozeman, Montana are offering their own special blend: Bozeman Blend. It’s described as “Balancing a sturdy backbone with bright acidity and complex citrus, cocoa and herbal notes – this blend evokes Bozeman’s mountain ruggedness and rich personality. Bozeman Blend is dark and smooth, but won’t weigh you down.“
I got to try the Bozeman Blend for the first time today (May 3, 2015). A friend brought me a bag. Someone sent her two bags (I’m not totally sure who! Sorry!) and gave my friend (Jocelyn) instructions to share it with Melody. I genuinely enjoy a chance to try a new coffee! They way to my heart is through a cup of coffee!
So today I got to experience a quick tasting of the Bozeman Blend, made via a pour over brew method. It was fun to try this new blend! I got a lot of citrus notes. I shared the sample cups with several other partners. One person I was with described it as dark currant, citrus, with an herbal finish. Despite a grapefruit – currant like citrus note, it was surprisingly smooth and definitely complex. What I picked up on the least was the cocoa notes. I’d recommend trying this with a current or savory herbal scone.
A lot of customers haven’t seen custom blends around so I thought that it would be especially fun to spotlight this. This was an enjoyable cup of coffee, though wouldn’t be my go to cup of coffee for a hot cup of coffee. I did enjoy the complexity and the smoothness.
Here are a few photos from today’s tasting:
