Sometimes, blending coffees can be tricky. Beans that seem like they would work well together on paper just don't play nice in the cup. But sometimes, everything just works exactly the way you want. The combo of Papua New Guinea, Sumatran, and Guatemalan was love at first sip. The Love blend has a ton of body and smoothness, and just a little bit of sweet acidity to keep it interesting. Papua New Guinea makes up the majority of this blend, and has a clean flavor and long finish. Sumatran provides dark fruit characteristics, and Guatemalan Antigua lends sweetness and cocoa to the blend. Beans: Papua New Guinea, Guatemala Flor del Cafe, Sumatra Tasting Notes: Smooth, Harmonious, Earthy Acidity: 3 Body: 4 About Small World Coffee: Small World Coffee first opened its doors in the historic town center of Princeton, NJ in December 1993. The owners met just after graduating from college while working at a coffee shop in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They realized significant similarities while getting to know each other like they were both raised as expats while their father’s worked for General Motors. One lived in Spain and Korea for several years while the other lived In Italy, Australia, and Brazil, from age 4 to 16. This kind of childhood was eye-opening to not just the differences from country to country, but the underlying commonalities in the core needs and values of all people across the globe. Learning new languages, cultures, and traditions gave them a perspective that served well when developing their mission of Small World Coffee. They spent most of 1993 driving around the U.S. in search of the perfect college town to open Small World Coffee, a cafe for the locals that welcomes the world. Their year long road trip brought them to many college towns, but the brakes came to a screeching halt when Princeton was found, the perfect town gown experience, historic and collegiate with a cosmopolitan flair.
