The Story Behind “Climax”: Our Most Mysterious Flavored Coffee Blend
Of all the premium blends we offer, one name consistently stands out. It's the one we get the most questions about, our most popular conversation-starter, and one of our all-time best-selling flavored coffees: Climax. It’s an attention-grabbing name, but it’s the incredible, complex flavor inside the bag that has made it a customer-favorite. This isn't a gimmick; it's a flavor profile that truly lives up to its name.
So, what is "Climax" coffee? It’s not just a name, it’s an experience. This blog post unpacks the mystery behind this unique blend, where its inspiration comes from, and why it’s a must-try for anyone who loves a rich, dessert-like cup of coffee without the compromise of sugar or calories. Ready to know what all the hype is about?
The Famous Inspiration: The B-52
The unique flavor of our Climax flavored coffee is inspired by a classic, world-famous layered shot called the B-52.
If you’ve ever seen a bartender skillfully pour a three-layered drink into a shot glass, it was likely a B-52. This famous drink is a masterpiece of density, made by carefully layering three distinct liqueurs on top of each other.
1. A Coffee Liqueur (like Kahlúa) on the bottom.
2. An Irish Cream (like Baileys) in the middle.
3. An Amaretto (or citrus liqueur) on the top.
The goal is to drink all three distinct, delicious flavors at once. Our Climax blend takes the essence of this complex, sophisticated trio and infuses it directly into our premium coffee beans.
The Flavor Breakdown
Our Climax flavored coffee represents the "climax" of three perfect flavors coming together. We’ve managed to capture this iconic profile, giving you a perfectly balanced cup that’s rich, smooth, and aromatic.
Let's break down the flavor notes you'll experience in every cup:
• Irish Cream: This is the heart of the blend, providing a smooth, velvety body and a rich, creamy flavor with notes of vanilla. It rounds out any sharpness and makes the coffee incredibly sippable.
• Coffee Liqueur: This anchors the entire flavor profile. It adds a deep, rich, and slightly sweet coffee-on-coffee flavor that enhances the natural notes of our Arabica beans.
When these three profiles combine, you get a coffee that is aromatic, incredibly smooth, and tastes like a luxurious dessert, all with no sugar, no calories, and no alcohol.
How We Deliver Real Flavor (Without the Junk)
It’s easy to find a flavored coffee. It’s hard to find a good one. Many companies use weak, low-grade coffee beans and try to mask them with overpowering, artificial-tasting syrups.
We do the opposite.
1. We Start with a Premium Base: The secret to great flavored coffee is to start with great coffee. Our Climax flavored coffee uses the same premium, specialty-grade, 100% Arabica beans that we use in our unflavored blends. The coffee base is smooth and high-quality, so the flavoring complements the coffee, it doesn't conceal it.
2. No Junk, Just Flavor: We believe you should be in control of what goes into your cup. Our flavored coffees are made with high-quality, natural and artificial flavorings that contain no calories, no sugar, and no alcohol. You get the full, rich taste of a B-52 without any of the added carbs or guilt.
3. Pre-Ground for a Reason: We offer our flavored coffees pre-ground for a very specific, practical reason: to protect your gear. Oily, sticky flavorings can build up in expensive coffee grinders, ruining the burrs and "ghosting" all your future brews with a hint of amaretto or cherry. Our pre-ground coffee allows you to enjoy the full, robust flavor without ever compromising your equipment.
How to Brew the Perfect "Climax" Cup
• Hot Brew: Works perfectly in any standard drip coffee maker or pour-over.
• With Cream: While it's delicious black, adding a small splash of real cream or frothed milk will enhance the built-in Irish Cream notes for an extra-luxurious cup.
• Iced Coffee: This is one of our best-selling blends for iced coffee. Brew it, let it cool, and pour it over ice. It’s a rich, refreshing treat that doesn't get watered-down.
"Climax" isn't just a mysterious name; it’s our answer to the boring, overly-sweet flavored coffees on the market. It’s a complex, sophisticated, and perfectly balanced blend of amaretto, Irish cream, and coffee liqueur flavors infused into a premium, specialty grade coffee bean. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself to something decadent, any time of day, without the guilt or the sugar.
If you’re ready to try one of our most popular and talked-about blends, now you know the secret. Arm yourself with fuel that works as hard as you do.
