Horiguchi Original Blend #5: Smooth & Chocolaty
If you’re looking for a velvety smoothness in your cup of coffee, look no further than #5 blend! With richness, bitter sweetness and mouthfeel reminiscent of pure chocolate, this blend is definitely sultry! The coffee has a savory cocoa-like flavor with a hazelnut or milk chocolate sweetness and a smooth and dense texture. More on the richer side than bright, enjoy this with toast and Nutella in the morning, a chocolate bar during your midday break, or pair it with your after dinner indulgence. Whatever you’re into, this coffee with fit your #mood!
In order to achieve this chocolate-like smooth and richness, Horiguchi not only had to source particular coffee beans with the right flavor profile, but they also have to meticulously control and be vigilant during the roasting process. Under roast and the coffee will have unwanted acidity, over roast and it will taste burnt. This expression of smoothness is truly a testament to their skilled blending and roasting techniques and reap the benefits!
