What is Sunrise Batch Coffee?

The history of Sunrise Batch coffee dates back to the 18th century, when coffee was brewed in small batches through a technique called sun brewing. Sun brewing entails exposing coffee grounds to the sun for extended periods so the beans can absorb the aromas and flavors of the surroundings.
Sunrise Batch coffee is a coffee blend made by a unique brewing method that involves small batches and a slow controlled process. This technique yields coffee with a rich flavor and aroma. In addition, its distinct nutty and chocolaty flavor is delicious.
Sunrise Batch coffee is usually smoother and less bitter than most types of coffee. A cup has approximately five calories, making it a good choice if you watch your weight.
Sunrise Batch vs. Dunkin’s Original Blend
Sunrise Batch is a full-bodied medium roast blend with a bright smooth taste and notes of cocoa. It finishes with a hint of cocoa and the mild flavor of roasted nuts. On the other hand, the lively and smooth Dunkin’ Original Blend features notes of caramel.
Brewed from Latin American and Kenyan coffee beans, the Sunrise Batch is mellower than the Dunkin Original Blend. Although regular iced coffees from Dunkin’ are usually potent with high acidity levels, Sunrise Batch has almost no acidity and leaves only a mildly bitter aftertaste.
While the Original Blend features slightly sweet undertones when consumed black, Sunrise Batch has a savory flavor. It leaves a mildly acrid character in the mouth.
If you enjoy a bold medium roast coffee, complement your favorite Dunkin’ food choice with the Sunrise Batch.
How Long Will the Sunrise Batch Be Available?
Dunkin’s Research and Development team strives to bring new additions to the various blends in their Limited Batch Series. The Sunrise Batch blends beans from two of the world’s best coffee regions for a fantastic coffee experience.
Make the Sunrise Batch a part of your summer morning routine. If you missed the chance to try the Sunrise Batch last year, it will be available until the end of summer, around mid-August.
