Bahari - Signature Blend
Some things just belong together—like this blend of East African and Indian coffees, connected by centuries of trade routes across the Indian Ocean. Bahari is a nod to the movement of goods, people, and culture between East Africa and South India, where spices, textiles, and, of course, coffee flowed between ports.
In the cup, Bahari is big on sweetness —rich, caramelized sugars meet deep fruit notes and a touch of warm spice. Think ripe stone fruit, dark honey, and hints of chocolate, all wrapped up in a syrupy body with a smooth, lingering finish. It’s balanced, bold, and the kind of coffee you’ll keep coming back to.
☕ Tasting Notes:
- Mouthfeel: Syrupy, full-bodied, and smooth.
- Flavor: Stone fruit and caramelized sugar, .
- Finish: Deep chocolate that lingers.
This is our signature blend, crafted to showcase the natural connection between these two coffee-growing regions and the way their flavors complement and elevate each other.
Roaster fav!
Impressions
"The bahari blend is fantastic and I think it hits for different people too. I enjoyed it because it is complex and I think being medium roast makes it approachable for folks. I made it for my in-laws over a weekend and they really liked it too. It's rare to find something we can all agree on, coffee wise."
“Velvet Hour is so yum — I love using it for my home espresso drinks. It has that nostalgic vibe that reminds me of the coffee from home, which makes every cup feel extra special.”
"My favorite part about using the Hive roaster was definitely the smell — I didn’t realize roasting coffee could smell so amazing. It was such a fun experience to be around it. I also loved how small the batches are, so if you mess up a little, it doesn’t feel like a huge loss. It made the whole process feel approachable and enjoyable."
