As the days grow longer and the air fills with the scent of blooming flowers, spring is the perfect time to refresh your coffee routine. With lighter, brighter flavors emerging, your coffee pairings should follow suit. At Per’La Specialty Roasters, we’re excited to introduce our New Awakening seasonal lineup, designed to celebrate the vibrant energy of spring. Whether you prefer a floral, citrusy light roast or a smooth, nutty medium roast, there’s a perfect pairing to elevate your coffee experience this season.
1. Bright & Citrusy Coffees with Fresh Pastries
Spring brings an abundance of citrus and floral flavors in coffee, making them an ideal match for light, flaky pastries. A washed Ethiopian or Colombian coffee with notes of jasmine and orange blossom pairs beautifully with a classic croissant or a lemon scone. The buttery layers of the pastry enhance the coffee’s acidity, creating a well-balanced and refreshing start to the day.
2. Nutty & Caramel Coffees with Spring Brunch Favorites
Our New Awakening lineup along with our single-origin Brazilian coffee includes rich, balanced coffees with nutty and caramel undertones—perfect for pairing with your favorite brunch dishes. A smooth medium roast with hints of almond and toffee pairs wonderfully with an almond croissant, banana bread, or even a stack of whole grain pancakes topped with fresh fruit. The sweetness of the caramel notes enhances the natural sugars in the food, creating a harmonious and satisfying combination.
3. Fruity Cold Brews with Seasonal Berries & Yogurt
As the temperatures rise, cold brew becomes a go-to choice for coffee lovers. A fruit-forward cold brew, such as one made from a naturally processed Ethiopian or Kenyan coffee, pairs excellently with a yogurt parfait topped with fresh berries and granola. The coffee’s berry-like acidity and natural sweetness mirror the flavors of the fruit, making for a light and refreshing pairing. Our Cold Brew blend is a personal favorite of mine with notes resembling a delicious chocolate-covered raisin.
4. Floral & Honeyed Coffees with Light Spring Salads
For those who enjoy a more adventurous pairing, try a floral, honeyed coffee alongside a fresh spring salad. Our Guatemalan coffee with delicate qualities complements salads featuring arugula, goat cheese, citrus segments, and honey-drizzled nuts. The coffee’s gentle sweetness and complex floral notes create a delightful contrast to the crisp, savory greens.
Spring is all about renewal, and your coffee routine should be no exception. With our New Awakening seasonal lineup, we invite you to explore fresh, exciting flavors that capture the essence of the season. Whether you’re sipping a bright morning brew with a pastry or enjoying a smooth, caramel-kissed coffee with brunch, these pairings will help you embrace the new season with every sip.
