Hi there -
Guess what?? Your mug just got merrier!! Back for the 9th year in a row, Kuma Coffee's Bear Claus Blend is a perennial best-seller, and one of my absolute favorite coffees. Every year, for me, the holiday season officially begins with my first sip of this spicy, chocolaty, fruity blend. Shall we kick off your season, as well??
Tastes Like: Spiced Cake, Hot Cocoa, Ribbon Candy
Curator's Notes: It's back!!! It's hard to believe we've carried this coffee for 9 years straight. And it never fails to impress me: every year, Kuma just nails the taste of the holidays with this festive coffee. Bear Claus is a 50/50 mix of chocolate-forward Guatemalan beans and a fruit-forward Kenya Nyeri, for a rich, welcoming cup. I taste sparkling apple cider, pomegranate juice, and fig preserves, within a big, lush body of rich, smooth chocolate. A warm cinnamon spice lingers in the finish, for a touch of festive holiday cheer. No matter what your favorite nostalgic holiday flavor might be, you'll taste it here - think hot chocolate, figgy pudding, cinnamon-dusted apple pie, sparkling-sweet ribbon candy... it'll have you feeling warm, happy, and ready to wrap all those presents.
One of those true Seattle coffee gems, Kuma has been roasting their coveted coffees since 2007, growing from a local farmers' market favorite to a beloved local institution. Fun fact, Kuma's little cafe (it doesn't exist anymore!) used to be down the street from my very first apartment in Seattle. I didn't have a lot of extra money back then, but when I could, I'd walk over and splurge on a bag for myself. They were my very first introduction to specialty coffee, and I never went back! One sip of this classic holiday blend, and you might feel the same. Kick off the "holiday blend" season with me, and gift yourself an early present of this all-time Bean Box favorite. But don't take my word for it...
Bottom Line: You'll love this coffee if you love Kenyan coffees, real hot chocolate, or ever ordered a sprinkle of cinnamon on your latte.
