About the Festive Blend
Festive Blend is a seasonal coffee blend crafted to celebrate the joyful spirit of the festive season. Now in its third year, this cherished tradition evolves annually, with each year's blend components thoughtfully curated to offer a new and unique festive coffee experience.
For 2024, this limited-edition blend features a half-caff composition, combining regular Ethiopian beans with decaffeinated Colombian beans. This thoughtful blend ensures a balanced caffeine experience, making it perfect for festive gatherings throughout the day or as an indulgent evening treat
Story Behind the Blend
The Festive Blend represents the union of two coffee origins that bring their distinct characteristics to the cup. Ethiopian beans contribute vibrant fruitiness and floral undertones, while the Colombian decaf beans enhance the blend with their smooth and chocolatey base. Together, they create a half-caff blend that is comforting, balanced, and festive.
This marks three years of our Festive Blend tradition, where each season, Café Rider Roastery curates a new and distinctive blend to mark the festive season. With changing components and flavor profiles, this blend is a tribute to the diversity of coffee and the joy of discovery.
