Our Seasonal Organic Medium Roast
Winter Blend is Blind Dog Coffee's seasonal organic medium roast, with notes of dark chocolate, cherry juice and caramel apple. It's the coffee we bring back for the cold months, made for snowy mornings, ski days and long evenings by the fire.
It's only here for the season, so some of our customers stock up on the 2 lb and 5 lb bags to make it last.

Story Behind the Roast
Inspired by those who rise before dawn, ride the storm, or find peace in the stillness of fresh powder, this blend is crafted for comfort. It's the crackle of a wood fire, the brightness of a sunlit frost, and the bold resilience that defines Nevada living. Each cup is a call to slow down, cozy up, and savor the season
