JWC Seasonal Blend: Merdeka Blend

45 MYR

Description Merdeka Blend is JWC Roastery's celebratory blend, created to honour the spirit of Malaysia's Independence through coffee. Inspired by the flavours that unite us as Malaysians, this seasonal blend brings together exceptional coffees from Thailand, Costa Rica and Colombia to create a vibrant, expressive cup. Balancing floral elegance, juicy fruit and chocolate sweetness, Merdeka Blend offers a modern specialty coffee experience while capturing the familiar taste of home. Expect notes of sirap bandung, hibiscus, chocolate and orange peel, delivering a cup that is bright, nostalgic and full of celebration. Why This Coffee Exists Every Merdeka is a reminder of who we are and what brings us together. Merdeka Blend was created to celebrate Malaysia's rich cultural diversity through coffee. Rather than representing a single origin, it combines carefully selected coffees from across Asia and Latin America, expressing harmony through different terroirs, varieties and processing methods. Each component contributes its own unique character—floral aromatics, vibrant fruit, balanced sweetness and clean structure—coming together in a cup that reflects the warmth, diversity and unity that define Malaysia. Like Merdeka itself, this blend is a celebration meant to be shared. Coffee Origins Thailand Chiang Rai — Double Anaerobic Honey Process Contributes vibrant fruit complexity, sweetness and a rich, syrupy body. Costa Rica Mirazu Catajo — Raisin Honey Process Adds floral elegance, caramelised sweetness and refined acidity. Colombia Huila Pitalito — Washed Process Brings clarity, citrus brightness and a clean, balanced finish.
