<b>House Blend Whole Bean 12 Ounce Bag - Roasted Fresh To Order</b><br><br><b>The Blend</b><br><br>Intelligentsia’s House Blend is designed to showcase the lively fruit and cane sugar sweetness that characterize our best Latin American coffees. Always 100% Direct Trade, this blend is crafted to represent a cross-section of our favorite relationship coffees, and characterize the flavors we reward and cherish in our Single Origin line.<br><br><b>About Us!</b><br><br>Our story begins in 1995 - a story not so different from many other entrepreneurs and dreamers. At the time, finding great tasting, fresh roasted coffee was surprisingly elusive. So, Doug Zell and Emily Mange decided to do something about it. They didn't set out to change the world, just a small corner of it.<br><br>Relocating from San Francisco, they opened their own coffeebar and retail store in Chicago’s eclectic Lakeview neighborhood. Roasting their coffee in-store, with equipment that was more antique than state-of-the-art, they honed their craft, seeking nothing less than perfection in every aspect of the experience. Little did Doug and Emily know that what started as a way to connect with people and the community in an intimate, personal way would blossom into something that would help shape an entire industry.<br><br>Fast forward 21 years, and Intelligentsia still holds true to the values that have inspired us since day one. We've grown, We've evolved, but we certainly haven't changed. Through our coffeebars, Roasting Works, and training labs, we now make our home in six quintessential American cities, each possessing distinctive characteristics that resonate within the Intelligentsia brand.
