Birthday Blend Coffee

Birthday Blend

Birthday Blend is Aura Bean’s Roaster’s Master Blend, combining Brazil, Colombia and Tanzania into a balanced and expressive medium roast. Sweet cocoa and toasted almond create a smooth foundation, while red cherry, plum and ripe fruit bring natural sweetness and complexity.

A gentle citrus brightness and subtle floral character from the Tanzanian component add vibrancy to the cup, while the medium body and rounded texture maintain balance and drinkability. The result is a versatile blend that performs beautifully across filter, espresso and milk-based preparations.

Cupping Notes:

Aroma

Sweet cocoa and toasted almond lead the aroma, complemented by a subtle floral lift and hints of ripe fruit.

Acidity

Medium acidity is well integrated into the cup, bringing gentle citrus brightness alongside a soft red fruit character.

Body

Medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture that balances the coffee’s clarity with its underlying richness.

Flavour

Milk chocolate and toasted almond form the foundation, layered with red cherry and plum sweetness. Delicate citrus brightness and light floral character from the Tanzanian component add vibrancy and refinement to the blend.

Finish

Clean and lingering, with soft chocolate, fruit sweetness and a light citrus sparkle remaining on the palate.
