| Coffee blending requires attention to detail, the willingness to experiment, and years of experience. Equal Exchange uses traditional drum roasting technology to roast our coffee and to release the intricacies of each bean. Our blending techniques allow the distinctive characteristics of each coffee to compliment one another, thus crafting harmony in the flavor profile. See below for an explanation of pre-roast and post-roast blending methods. |

What are Pre-Roast and Post-Roast Blending?
We employ two methods of blending called pre-roast blending and post-roast blending. The concepts are different, and each produces an array of flavor combinations that are unique to the palette and are a fresh experience for the coffee lover.
Pre-Roast blending: Green origin coffees are selected to create an exclusive profile and then blended before they are roasted.
Post-Roast blending: Two or more green coffees are roasted individually and blended after they have been roasted. The color difference between the roasts is distinct, and this method creates an exceptional flavor profile.
