Vancouver – Filter Blend

About Vancouver Blend

Created in honor of Vancouver, Washington, and inspired by the phrase “A colorful past, and a bright future,” this blend reflects the balance of tradition and progress that defines our community.

The combination of washed Colombia Pink Bourbon and natural Ethiopian coffee brings together sweetness, structure, and fruit-forward clarity. The result is expressive enough for a carefully prepared pour-over while remaining balanced and approachable for everyday brewing.

Blend Design and Roast Approach

Vancouver Blend uses a fixed two-coffee formulation. Each component is roasted separately to account for its origin, density, and processing method before the coffees are combined.

This approach allows us to develop sweetness and structure in each component while preserving the bright, layered character of the finished blend.

Roaster of the Year Recognition

This exact formulation was evaluated as part of Kafiex Roasters’ winning submission for Roast magazine’s 2026 Micro Roaster of the Year award.

Its inclusion reflects the qualities we value throughout our roasting program: thoughtful sourcing, precise development, consistency, and a balance between familiarity and discovery.

Available at Our Cafés

Vancouver Blend is available as a pour-over selection at both Kafiex locations in Vancouver, Washington.
