Octave "Grunge" Blend, Sumatra and Guatemala: Rich Caramel, Milk Chocolate Flavor Notes
Octave "Grunge" Blend, Sumatra and Guatemala: Rich Caramel, Milk Chocolate Flavor Notes
The 1990s marked a musical revolution with the emergence of grunge rock, characterized by brooding, tortured lyrics and the distinctive sound of distorted, murky guitars. Inspired by this iconic era, Octave Coffee has meticulously crafted a specialty coffee blend that captures the raw essence of grunge.
This exceptional blend develops with rich caramel and milk chocolate notes, echoing the raw emotions often found in grunge lyrics. A citrus-like acidity adds a bright contrast, while a subtle touch of smoke emerges, reminiscent of the hazy venues where bands frequently performed. Much like the fusion of sub-genres that birthed grunge, this coffee blend seamlessly combines regional seed varietals, paying homage to a defining era in music history.
This unique coffee is offered in whole bean or ground options for your convenience.

Washed Coffee Process:
This method involves removing the outer layers of coffee cherries before drying. The process begins by peeling the cherries to expose the green beans, which are then soaked in water tanks to eliminate any remaining fruit bits. Following soaking, defective beans rise to the surface for removal. Once dry, hulling is performed to eliminate any remaining fruit layers. The beans are sorted and packaged for shipment, ensuring a high-quality coffee experience.

from 11 reviewsA+. Phenomenal coffee perfectly roasted. Don’t hesitate to order
The complexity and flavor is on another level. Really enjoy this roast as a pour over during or after lunch. Yeah I’m crazy. But I love it! Add to cart !
My favorite part of this coffee is when I open the bag to grind the beans. The aroma is so rich and full. This blend provides a very smooth flavor and is certainly among my favorite Octave blends. I look forward to each fresh cup. Thanks again for a great coffee experience!
Received my first batch of Octave coffee and it did not disappoint. So much flavour packed in one small cup. With subtle hints of chocolate and fruit, it’s a real treat for your palate. A bit of a lighter roast than what I’m used to, but not lacking in flavour and richness at all… and oh so smooth. Was delicious as a straight up espresso or with ice and a splash of milk for those hot summer days. Will definitely be ordering again. Octave coffee you Rock!
3 bags purchased … more to come! Will be grabbing all that I can before the runs done!
Listen, making mochas lattes with this is so tasty. The citrus notes pair so well with a Ghirardelli mocha sauce & splash of vanilla. 18g in 36g out.
In a v60 the smooth texture is very enjoyable first thing in the morning. 20g 320g water.
I can’t brag enough. This duo here did a great job. Looking forward to a hopeful 2nd collaboration. What these gents did is special.
Highly recommend YOU trying before it’s out!
So far I've tried the Hip Hop, Classical, and Grunge Rock Blend. All three have been top tier coffee, fresh, roasted perfectly, and shipped fast. The character notes are accurate. I look forward to ordering more.
Octave Coffee Folk blend is a perfect balance of boldness and smoothness. The hint of caramel is perfect and provides a flavor that can be enjoyed both black or with a little cream. If you are a connoisseur or a casual coffee drinker, this blend of flavor, quality and aroma is sure to bring your morning coffee ritual to the next level.
Octave's "Funk" is a true masterpiece! This coffee's rich notes create a harmonious symphony of flavors that had me dancing with delight. I've been savoring the exceptional coffee of Guatemala during my visits there for over 30 years. Funk is the perfect blend for anyone who appreciates the soulful essence of Guatemalan coffee. My taste buds were singing a new octave of joy with every sip, making this blend an absolute must-try for coffee enthusiasts.
I've been a daily coffee drinker for much of my adult life. As someone who appreciates the finer things in life, I knew my coffee game was lacking. When I came across Octave on social media, I thought this would be a great opportunity to take things to the next level. I got the Funk, the Folk, the Grunge, and the Lo-Fi. All have been excellent. The aromas that fill our home every morning have been divine. Talking with the owner, it is clear he's knowledgeable and passionate about coffee. Top-notch coffee and you're supporting a family business. Can't beat that.
As soon as we opened the bag we knew it was going to be good! Such an amazing smell! There were literally so many nuanced flavors in the Guatamala roast. Super chocolatey, which I love. Getting the coffee 7 days after it was actually roasted was tangibly evident in the quality and taste. Highly recommend!
