A full-bodied blend of coffees from the indonesian islands; nutty, aromatic, and slightly earthy. garuda blend is one of our first blends, created by alfred peet. this blend is crafted from superb coffees originating from indonesia and papua new guinea. each coffee has distinctly different flavor characteristics—the result of unique approaches to coffee production on the various islands in the archipelago. some of the coffees are produced in the semi-washed or wet hulled method, providing full body and nutty, earthy flavors; other coffees are fully washed, bringing acidity and a more refined flavor to the blend—culminating in a big, satisfying cup. garuda blend is named for the great bird that carries the hindu god vishnu, guardian of the world.
