Switchyards Tres Banderas

About Tres Banderas Tres Banderas (meaning ‘Three Flags’ in Spanish) is our flagship blend named for the three countries that comprise it. While the origins change seasonally, we’ll always have three different countries represented — two from Latin America and one from Africa. This blend balances the chocolatey body of the Latin American offerings with the fruit-forward and floral qualities of the African offering. The result is a coffee with hints of bright ripe stone fruits that maintains a creamy richness. We roast this coffee just a little differently than our other coffees, developing the sweet sugars that produce a balanced, full bodied coffee that tastes great brewed as espresso (you’ll often find it in our cafes as our standard espresso offering) or filter coffee. Tres Banderas is our top selling coffee, and while the components shift throughout the year, it is always a phenomenal balanced blend that offers comfort and nuance for anyone that enjoys a good cup of coffee.
