The Story Behind the Blend
Merlin's Resolve is a tribute to resilience and unbreakable spirit. Inspired by Merlin—a Persian quarter horse and son of a state champion racer—this blend embodies the story of a horse who wouldn't quit, even after years of abandonment.
Like Merlin himself, this split-roast blend brings together two distinct personalities in perfect harmony. The dark roast beans deliver smoky cocoa and caramel swagger—bold and unapologetic. The medium roast side offers sweet vanilla calm and gentle balance. Together, they ride as smooth as a stubborn quarter horse on open pasture: bold, balanced, and forever free.
Merlin's defiant spirit lives on in every bag. When you choose Merlin's Resolve, you're not just enjoying exceptional coffee—you're honoring the journey of a champion's son who refused to give up, and supporting the rescue efforts that save horses just like him.

Blend Composition
Split-Roast Blend Medium & Dark Roasts Expertly Balanced Two Profiles, One Cup
Merlin's Resolve showcases the art of split-roasting, where beans are roasted to two different profiles and then carefully blended. This technique creates a complex cup with layers of flavor—the dark roast brings bold cocoa and smoky caramel notes, while the medium roast contributes gentle vanilla sweetness and smooth balance. The result rides as smooth as a stubborn quarter horse on open pasture: bold, balanced, and forever free. This blend honors Merlin's dual nature—the champion racer's fire and the gentle survivor's wisdom.
