Blackberry & brie scone paired with Bozeman blend

April 22, 2015 by jocelyn Leave a Comment

Creating a custom blend is not a new thing for Starbucks, but recently, since the launch of my Bainbridge Blend, more and more custom blends are popping up. Using social media, I have become a resource for partners all over the country in creating their own blend. I love connecting with partners over coffee, but it is even more special when it is over a blend they have created. The Bozeman team reached out to me, and I was so excited to finally taste this blend. Bozeman blend was created by store partner Sonja, who was inspired by tasting another city blend (Breckenridge Blend). She  created this blend as part of her coffee master certification, and it is now sold in half pound bags, brewed on the clover as well as shots of espresso!

Introducing the Bozeman Blend; balancing a sturdy backbone with bright acidity and complex citrus and cocoa notes.

Bozeman Montana is known for it’s rugged beauty, rich personality and outdoor adventures. This bright and smooth blend aims to recreate the experience. Sonja used three single origin coffeess to create this blend; Guatemala Antigua, Sumatra and Kenya. I was so inspired when I tasted this coffee, that I wanted to pair it with something that gave a nod to each of the three regions. Walnuts to enhance the nuttiness of the Guatemala, blackberries to really bring out the Kenya, and a huge chunk of melted brie to balance it all out.
