It's a blend built to honor that history: approachable, comforting, and rooted in where we started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe built this blend from two classic, dependable origins. The base comes from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, a mountainous region on the Mexican border known for producing some of Latin America's most versatile coffees. Alongside it sits a washed Costa Rican coffee from the Central Valley, the historic heart of the country's coffee industry, known for its cocoa and toasted-nut character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Profile: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eComforting, Nutty \u0026amp; Sweet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRoasted medium-dark to bring these two origins into harmony, the 4940 Blend delivers a warm, familiar cup built for everyday drinking. The Guatemalan component brings a nutty, graham-cracker sweetness with a soft, balanced acidity, while the Costa Rican component layers in cocoa and toasted-nut depth with a mellow sweetness of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe result is a coffee layered with notes of toasted pecan, rich cocoa, and brown sugar sweetness that lingers through the finish. A rounded, low-acid body brings ease to every sip while a smooth sweetness creates a comforting, familiar finish. Whether brewed as drip coffee, in a French press, or pulled as espresso, this coffee delivers a warm and dependable experience — the kind of cup meant for slow mornings and easy refills alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium-Dark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e Toasted Pecan, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCocoa, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBrown Sugar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigins:\u003c\/b\u003e Huehuetenango, Guatemala \u0026amp; Central Valley, Costa Rica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/b\u003e 1,400–2,200 MASL (Guatemala) \/ 1,200–1,800 MASL (Costa Rica)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProcess:\u003c\/b\u003e Washed (both components)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVarieties:\u003c\/b\u003e Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, and other traditional regional varieties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBody:\u003c\/b\u003e Smooth, Balanced, and Nutty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy We Choose This Blend\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Grinding Gears, some coffees are about showcasing a single extraordinary lot — and some are about telling our own story.
