The French Laundry Blend

The French Laundry Blend is built around a natural, or dry-processed coffee grown in the Bombe Mountains of Southern Ethiopia. Bombe’s high altitude stresses the coffee tree, and the colder climate slows the growth cycle. The result is a slowly matured cherry that is small, dense, and packed with flavor. After harvesting, natural processed coffee is dried with the coffee cherry fully intact, imparting distinct fruit-forward flavors into the coffee.

A pair of fully washed coffees from two of the world’s most renowned coffee growing countries add complexity to the blend. The first, a vibrant and citrusy coffee from Kenya, complements the other components beautifully and contributes to the blend’s delicate acidity. And finally, a coffee from Colombia balances out the blend’s other components with rich flavors of baking spices and bittersweet chocolate. These coffees, along with just the right degree of roast, create a tremendously well-balanced blend that can be enjoyed in the restaurants of one of the world’s best chefs.

A portion of the proceeds from each bag sold of The French Laundry Blend will go to Ment'or BKB Foundation - a nonprofit foundation that aims to educate and inspire excellence in young culinary professionals and champions the diversity and creativity of the traditions and quality of cuisine in America.
