The French Laundry Blend

The French Laundry Blend is built around a natural, or dry-processed coffee produced by smallholder farmers and processed at the Biru Bekele washing station in Southern Ethiopia’s Guji region. Ardi is sourced by long time Equator friend and founder of Keffa Coffee, Samuel Demisse. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are left to dry on the beans fully intact, imparting intensely fruity and sweet flavors into the coffee that act as the blend’s foundation.

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.
