This coffee marks a defining moment for us.
In December, Benjamin took the first place at the very first Belgian Roasting Championship, organised as the Belgian chapter of the SCA officially reopens. This win means something truly special: Belgium is back on the world roasting stage, and we’ll be representing the country at the World Coffee Roasting Championship next June.
As part of the competition, roasters were challenged not with a single origin, but with a mandatory blend format. Three green coffees were provided: a natural Ethiopia, a natural Brazil, and a washed Rwanda, with the rule that each coffee had to represent at least 10% of the final blend.
After sample roasting, tasting, and cupping all components during the competition, the decision became clear. The most expressive, balanced, and exciting cup came from a bold choice: a pre-blend of 80% Rwanda, supported by 10% Ethiopia and 10% Brazil. This is the blend that won.
The coffee you’re holding is a recreation as close as possible to the exact submission that earned first place — only this time, roasted on our own Typhoon roaster. Same intent. Same balance. Same approach.
You’ll notice one thing missing: tasting notes.
We deliberately labelled this coffee “Unknown Flavor”. During the championship, all coffees were evaluated blind, without any descriptors to guide or bias perception. We wanted to keep that spirit alive — inviting you to taste freely, without expectations.
All we’ll say is this: it’s a lighter roast, expressive and fruit-forward, built for clarity, sweetness, and joy.
This coffee celebrates competition, curiosity, and a huge step forward for Boo!. Thank you for being part of the journey.
