Peak & Dark Roast

Remember your father’s cup of coffee? Now imagine it took an 80 day vacation, circumnavigating the globe. With beans from Asia, Africa, and the Americas, this coffee is like traveling the world in a single cup. Phileas Fogg’s Blend is full bodied, slightly winey, with a hint of chocolate and a clean finish. This is not your father’s cup of coffee!

Phileas Fogg's Blend is the winner of the 2011 CBD Staff Blending Competition! This year's winning blend was created by Travis and Jen. This is the fourth year Coffee By Design (CBD) has held the competition which pairs roastery and retail team members for a month to create their own coffee blends.

What started as a class to learn about coffee has turned into a fierce competition where the winners get bragging rights, plus their coffee is for sale at Coffee By Design’s coffeehouses and website.

Nine teams participated in this year’s event, with staff members narrowing the field to three finalists. The three blends were sampled at Coffee By Design’s coffeehouses, with customers selecting the winner.
