In preparation for the opening of Zingerman’s Roadhouse in 2003, months of collaboration and tasting resulted in this signature coffee blend being created specially for Chef Alex Young. It’s been a hit ever since. Designed to complement food, it emphasizes body and balance over sharpness and acidity. It finishes with a very slight nuttiness and is by far our most popular blend.
Technically, it’s a mix of Papua New Guinea, Guatemala Coban, Indian Mysore and Brazilian Peaberry, each added for their contribution in body, balance and nuttiness. Less technically—but more importantly—it’s a sensible, smooth, crowd-pleasing coffee that’s guaranteed to satisfy anyone at your table (or on your gift list).
