When you go to a coffee shop, you'll most likely find blended coffee on the menu.
Even the regular coffee sold in supermarkets often has the word "blend" in its name.
A blend is coffee made by combining beans from multiple origins and types.
Blending makes it possible to combine acidity, bitterness, richness, and aroma to create a flavor that can't be achieved with a single bean.
By blending beans from Ethiopia, which have a strong acidity, with beans from Brazil, which have a strong bitterness, it is possible to create a well-balanced flavor.
You can also adjust the flavor by blending mellow beans for a softer taste.
By blending in this way, it is possible to create an original flavor.
Whereas single origin coffee uses beans harvested from a single country, region, or farm, and pursues the individuality of that bean, a blend pursues the teamwork created by combining multiple beans.
