Fighter Pilot Blend Label

Despite the advanced technology in today's fourth generation fighters, the basics of lead, lag and pure pursuit remain the same. Those basic fighter maneuvers are not for the faint of heart, and Fighter Pilot Blend gives you just what you need to make it through your sortie alive.

The bold, earthy, rustic Sumatra Classic Mandheling base will give you the power to put on your best 9-G break turn, yet the brighter notes of orange, chocolate, and spice from Papua New Guinea offer just the right finesse to tap on the correct rudder in a rolling scissors and slide in behind him for a slow-speed guns-tracking kill.

A coke, a smoke, and a dry-heave used to be the fighter pilot's breakfast. But for the new generation, we recommend a bowl of bran flakes and a tall, steaming mug of FPB. Fighter Pilot Blend from Tailored Blends Coffee, for the fighter pilot in all of us.

Why Buy From Us?

* Freshness - Coffee begins to age as soon as it's roasted. After two weeks the flavor begins to lose its vitality, and after one month you can definitely call your coffee old. The best you can hope for, even when packaged correctly, is about one month. We roast the highest grade beans and ship them within 24 hours so that you have the freshest possible coffee in your cup.

* Individuality- Over-roasting causes each coffee to begin to taste similar. The only way to distinguish the fruity highlights of an Ethiopian coffee from the milk-chocolate sweetness of a Columbian is by roasting it just enough to fully roast the bean, yet not so much that the flavor oils become scorched and you're left with the same smoky, charred flavor for each type of bean. We roast each bean to its optimum roast level, bringing out the region's "terroir," processing style, and unique flavor.

* Variety - There are great beans from all over the world: Rwanda, Uganda, Peru, El Salvador, Timor, and Australia, just to name a few. When you buy from the supermarket or the national conglomerate, you are limited to the areas that can sustain mass production. These may or may not be the best quality or the most interesting. We order green beans from all over the world, depending on where the best coffee is, not for any other reason.

We use Sweet Marias as our sole-source green coffee bean supplier. They source beans from all over the world, concentrating on small farms and "micro lots" that would ordinarily fly under the radar of the giant distributors. They cup for quality at origin and they cup again for quality upon arrival in the U.S. Sweet Marias is a Certified Organic and Fair Trade supplier of green beans, so if we offer a blend that says a coffee is "Organic" or "Fair Trade", then you can rest assured it is. Sweet Marias also supports several coffee causes through their business. Please check out any of the linked websites below to learn more about how to help the coffee-growing regions of the word.
