Blend coffee refers to a mixture of coffee beans from two or more different producing areas.
 
When people order at outside cafes, as long as the barista doesn't emphasize it separately, the coffee beans used are usually Italian blended coffee beans and medium to dark roasted. The American style made from this Italian blend of beans is generally refreshing and sweet, with notes of chocolate and cocoa, while the latte has the smooth and sweet taste of nuts and cream.

Many people think that blended coffee is cheap and represents a bad taste, but this is not the case. The reason for using Italian blends is not just to save money, but to pursue stable extraction and explore flavor. Coffee beans are an agricultural product that changes more or less every year, and the taste is easy to be left to fate. Therefore, in the long run, the blending method can give full play to the strengths of various single-origin coffee beans to create a more balanced and complex taste. The amount of coffee beans from each origin can also be adjusted according to different needs, thereby highlighting a certain feature.

Most coffee lovers have only heard of Mamba coffee, but they don't know the formula and origin of "Mamba". In fact, Mamba is a combination of Indonesian Mandheling beans and Brazilian coffee beans. The taste can play a complementary and harmonious role. Mamba blending was very popular in Taiwanese cafes in the early years, and it can be regarded as an ancient coffee flavor. Front Street's classic Italian blend is based on the Mamba recipe and adds Robusta, which fully improves the oiliness of the coffee and makes the Italian coffee body stronger. It is suitable for home production and used for latte art.
