Balzac's Organic Bards Blend Coffee Benefits

Pairs Well With

Why It Works

➕ Why does a coffee taste of blueberry?
Nothing is added. This blend uses natural-process Ethiopian beans, dried whole inside the cherry, and that fermentation develops fruit notes which survive roasting.
➕ Why is it only available as pods?
Balzac's has discontinued the 340g whole bean version. The pod format is the only one still produced.
➕ How many pods do I get?
One hundred and eight, as six boxes of eighteen. That is a case rather than a single box.
➕ How does it compare to A Dark Affair?
Both are dark roasts. A Dark Affair is smoky and nutty; this one is fruitier, with cocoa and licorice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Information

➕ How many pods are in a case?
One hundred and eight pods, as six boxes of eighteen.
➕ Can I buy a single box?
Not here. Balzac's supplies the pods by the case of six.
➕ Is it whole bean or ground?
Both, and pods where the blend offers them. Pick the format from the menu.
➕ Where is it roasted?
In Ontario, by Balzac's Coffee Roasters.

Benefits of Ingredients

➕ What does 100% arabica mean?
Only arabica beans, no robusta, which is the harsher and more caffeinated species.
➕ Is there any added flavouring?
No. The blueberry and cocoa notes come from the beans themselves.
➕ What does natural process mean?
The cherry is dried whole around the bean instead of being pulped first, which is what builds the fruit character.

Usage and Storage

➕ How should I store it?
Somewhere cool and dark, sealed. Not the fridge, which introduces moisture and other smells.
➕ How long does it stay fresh?
Best within a few weeks of opening. Whole beans hold their flavour longer than ground.
➕ Are the pods recyclable?
Check the packaging for the current guidance, which varies by municipality.

Grind whole beans just before brewing, or spoon the ground straight from the tin. Use roughly two tablespoons per cup and water just off the boil. Reseal the bag or tin and keep it somewhere cool and dark. Pods drop straight into a single-serve brewer.

Additional Ingredients

Fairtrade organic 100% arabica coffee. Blend origin: Fairtrade organic Ethiopia (natural process, Ethiopian Heirloom, 1500-2000 MASL) and Fairtrade organic Colombia (washed).

Allergy Information

No priority allergens identified. Packed in a facility that also handles other coffees.
