Gravitas blend no3<\/p><\/div>\n

The third installment of Gravitas is back at the Roastery. This legacy blend launched on March 20th 2017, and I just happened to be in town visiting. Perfect timing on my part! This years version of Gravitas is a blend of Sumatra Lake Toba, Nicaragua Maracaturra and Sun-dried Brazil Barinas. The result is layers of herbal and chocolate notes with a unique dried fruit sweetness.<\/p>\n

The definition of the word gravitas is to have dignity, seriousness or gravity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gravitas\u00a0is a full bodied coffee with a low acidity. This coffee contains three different processing methods; washed (Nicaragua Maracaturra), semi-washed (Sumatra Lake Toba) and natural (Sun-dried Brazil Barinas). You have probably seen the Nicaragua maracaturra and the Sumatra Lake Toba in reserve stores, but the Sun-dried Brazil Barinas has yet to be released. I asked the Roastery partners if we would see the sun-dried sold on it’s own, and no one seems to know!\u00a0It is a mystery!<\/p>\n

I arrived at the Roastery early on Monday morning, and ordered a cup of Gravitas on the clover with the yogurt and granola with dried fruit. It was such a perfect breakfast with an adorable note from a Roastery partner. I truly felt like I was back home <3<\/p>\n

Then I wandered over to the scoop bar and picked up a few bags of Gravitas to take home with me, and for a coffee seminar at the East Olive way Starbucks. The scoop bar had all three green beans in a little tray so you could see the difference. I am always amazed at how huge the maracaturra beans are. They are massive, especially in comparison to the Brazil and Sumatra!<\/p>\n

Developed as an homage to our legacy of bold, assertive coffees, it documents where we\u2019ve been\u2014and where we\u2019re headed.<\/p>\n

Where can you get Gravitas? Currently, only at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting room<\/a> in Seattle.\u00a0This blend will probably only be available for a few months, and once it’s gone, it’s gone until the next installment.<\/p>\n

To compliment the dark chocolate and dried fruit notes, I made simple dark chocolate coins topped with dried cherries, cranberries and strawberries. To make these, just melt chocolate (I used 70% dark chocolate) and drop teaspoons of the melted chocolate onto parchment paper. Top with chopped dried fruit, and that’s it!<\/p>\n

Super simple to make, but also perfectly compliments the coffee!<\/p>\n
