Most coffee drinkers have been tricked into thinking flavor means syrups, creamers, or artificial additives. But at Cherry Blend, we know the richest flavors in coffee aren’t added after the roast—they’re unlocked throughit.
Nature Already Put the Flavor There
From Ethiopia’s blueberry and lemon brightness to Brazil’s chocolate-nutty smoothness, every origin carries its own flavor profile. These aren’t accidents—they come from:
-
Soil and climate: Volcanic soil in Papua New Guinea infuses beans with deep, earthy complexity.
-
Altitude: Higher-grown beans, like those from El Salvador, often develop sweeter, fruitier notes.
-
Processing: How beans are dried and prepared adds nuance before they even reach our roaster.
Your Benefit: Every bag you take home is a natural expression of its origin, no chemicals required.
Roasting: Where Notes Are Revealed, Not Added
Roasting is the art of unlocking what’s already in the bean. Chocolate, citrus, nutty, or berry notes don’t come from flavor syrups—they come from careful control of temperature, airflow, and timing.
That’s why we roast in small batches right here in Canton. By watching the roast instead of masking it, we can highlight the notes nature already gave.
Your Benefit: A cleaner, healthier cup that tastes the way coffee was meant to taste.
Why We Refuse Chemical “Shortcuts”
Flavored coffees on grocery store shelves are often coated in chemical oils or syrups. Not only do they overpower the bean, but they also hide its real character.
We believe that if a coffee only tastes good after being drowned in flavoring, it wasn’t worth roasting in the first place.
Your Benefit: Confidence that what’s in your cup is pure coffee, nothing more.

Why It Matters
Coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the world. Too often, shortcuts and chemical tricks are used to make beans seem better than they are. At Cherry Blend, we believe our customers deserve the real thing: coffee that’s honest, pure, and true to its origin.
