Mystic Monk Blend®

We created our Mystic Monk Blend in 2007. And it’s been one of our most popular coffees ever since. 

Our coffee-roasting aficionado, whom we’ve aptly named Brother Java, was in charge of creating coffee samples for the other monks to try when we first launched Mystic Monk Coffee. Roasting on the cast iron pan, he knew he stumbled on magnificence when he sipped what would soon become our first in-house blend. 

Our house blend consists of four beans from across every region of the globe, including Sumatra, which gives the blend its distinctive earthy quality and notes of spice.

We’ll never know whether it was a stroke of genius or divine inspiration. But we do know this perfectly balanced blend has become a favorite among our customers and our monastery.

You’ll love the monks’ house blend if you’re looking for a well-balanced blend with low acidity. Every sip gives you a nice balance of earth, wood, and spice. You’ll also enjoy cedar, vanilla, and brown sugar on the nose — an aroma that’s lovely to wake up to on those chilly mountain mornings. 

We dark roast the beans, so unlike a medium roast or light roast coffee that features a lighter color, our house blend is a richly dark brew with a fairly robust flavor.

Thanks to our unique roasting process, which combines old-world techniques andmodern technology, you’ll enjoy a balanced cup of coffee that’s never bitter and always smooth. 

Drink it black to savor the complexity of flavors. Because it’s so well-balanced, it’s also excellent for making iced coffee and cold brews. You can also enjoy it hot with honey and milk for a sweet and rich morning coffee. 

This is a perfect everyday coffee and one that our customers rave about. Some say it’s the best coffee they’ve ever tasted! We have to agree: This blend makes a heavenly cup of coffee. 

House Blend Ground Coffee

We use a universal grind setting to create our ground coffees, so you can make our house blend on any brewing equipment. The grinds are extremely uniform and can be used with a French press, pour-over coffee, an automatic drip machine, an Aeropress, or any other equipment. 

Our coffee stays fresh longer because we use a machine that creates a low-oxygen seal when packaging. You can store our coffee for up to two weeks in an airtight container away from heat and light exposure without losing that fresh coffee taste.

House Blend Whole Beans

Our house blend whole beans are a deep mahogany color with an oily texture. The oil comes from the beans and is a natural part of the roasting process when creating dark roasts. 

As with our bags of ground house blend, you can expect your whole-bean coffee to last up to two weeks after opening. Because we seal the beans without oxygen, you’ll also get a burst or aroma when opening the bag. 

The monks’ house blend is great for coffee drinkers who prefer complex flavors. With four beans from prized coffee-growing regions, you’ll get a kaleidoscope of flavor in every sip.

Because this is a darker roast, coffee drinkers who prefer light roast brews might prefer something more mellow, such as our Breakfast Blend, a light to medium roast coffee with notes of apricot, milk chocolate, and raisin. 

Our Mystic Monk Blend has the rich flavors that dark roast drinkers enjoy, such as toasted marshmallows and molasses, but with the intriguing earthy and spice notes that Sumatra beans bring into the mix. 

Once you try our house blend, we know it will quickly become a go-to in your home or coffee shop. Serve with a croissant or freshly baked bread or enjoy while pondering life — this coffee has enough depth to stand out on its own or pair with just about anything.
