Blends
Smart Blend
Roast Level: Medium
Here at OVC we like to mess with the Classics because we can. We don’t do it to be bratty kids though. We do it to give a new perspective to an old standard that could use some much-needed life. In creating our Smart Blend, we took the classic “Moka-Java” blend and updated it a bit to draw out the most flavor we could while retaining its authenticity and remaining as true as possible to its essence. This coffee has a room-filling aroma and big, big flavors. Right up front you are hit with a sensory rush of blueberry, dried fruits and cocoa which take turns pleasing your taste buds. For this reason, it’s been an OVC staff favorite since our inception. We suppose sometimes the Classics just need a little tweaking to stay fresh and keep everyone on their toes. On that note, wonder how Mona Lisa would look as a blonde?
Smart Blend is one of our three original Signature blends made with coffees from Indonesia and Africa, and is roasted to a full city to bring out all of the flavors in the beans. This blend pays homage to the first blend ever created, when coffee from the Isle of Java was shipped to the port of Moka in Arabia, where it was then blended together. Both full bodied and fruited, this coffee is sure to please.
Drinking this cup of coffee was an experience. I anxiously awaited the brewing as the aroma field the air. After just one sip I declared it my new favorite. Before i knew it my cup was empty.
Someone asked after taking a sip of smart if it in fact made people smarter…my reply, only if you buy a bag.
