Sourced from Guatemala, Indonesia, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru, Trader Joe’s Fairtrade Organic Five Country Blend is a global coffee bean tour in a bag. Each country contributes something unique to this bold, well-balanced, whole bean Blend: the Guatemalan beans offer notes of toasted almonds and chocolate; the Indonesian beans add earthiness and spiciness; the Honduran beans bring depth and body; the Mexican beans supply subtle, fruity undertones; and the Peruvian beans lend a lively, medium acidity. As one of our darkest, richest roasts, it’s excellent for making everything from espresso, to pour-over, to French press. Long-time Five Country fans may recall the previous canister of Five Country Espresso Blend offered on shelves—it had an admittedly limiting moniker, as “Espresso” referenced a single coffee preparation instead of the numerous ways a dark roast coffee can be ground, brewed and enjoyed. Our new Five Country Blend maintains the beloved flavor profile and bean origins of its predecessor, is still Organic and kosher (pareve)-certified, and holds Fairtrade certification, guaranteeing small-scale growers are given a fair price for their harvest. And speaking of a fair price, great news: increased efficiencies with our new supplier (along with the new packaging) mean we get to pass significant savings along to you!
