One Bold, Balanced Cup.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome blends exist to fill a bag. This one exists to fill a cup with something worth waking up for. Trader Joe's Fairtrade Organic Five Country Blend draws from Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Indonesia — five distinct coffee-growing regions, each contributing something the others can't. The result is a dark roast that's strong and rich without being harsh, with notes of toasted almonds, chocolate custard, and a hint of raspberry that keeps it from being just another dark roast. Strong, rich, and well balanced. Perfect any time of day, ideal for any brew method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCoffee Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark — bold body, low acidity, smooth and full finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBean Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Arabica whole bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five-country blend — Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 oz (369g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted almonds, chocolate custard, hint of raspberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, roasted, with a sweet undertone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrew Methods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Any method — drip, French press, pour-over, espresso, AeroPress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA Organic, Certified Organic by OCIA, Fair Trade Certified™, Kosher Pareve (ⓚ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nitrogen-flushed bag to preserve freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Five Country Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrader Joe's built this blend with a specific goal: a dark roast that's genuinely well-rounded, not just dark for the sake of it. By sourcing from five Fairtrade-certified growing regions across Latin America and Southeast Asia, they created a cup where each origin plays a role — the body of Indonesian Arabica, the brightness of Guatemalan and Honduran beans, the smoothness of Mexican and Peruvian lots — all roasted dark and blended into something cohesive. Every bag is Certified Organic by OCIA and Fair Trade Certified™, meaning the farmers behind these beans are paid fairly and farming sustainably.
