Description
xStumptown Homestead Blend is a 12 oz bag of medium-roast whole bean coffee crafted from direct-trade, fully washed Arabica beans to deliver a sweet, balanced cup with chocolate, cherry, and orange notes.
Roasted in Portland by Stumptown Coffee Roasters, the Homestead Blend combines seasonal single-origin lots from Central and South America and East Africa into a lighter-bodied blend that highlights sweetness and clarity. The recipe leans on long-standing producer relationships, transparent sourcing, and careful roasting to create a versatile whole-bean coffee that works across espresso, pour-over, French press, and cold brew methods.

How does Homestead Blend fit different brewing methods?
