About Odyssey Blend
According to Homer, Odysseus had a mighty wild time making his way home from Troy. Chances are he and his men would have had a much more enjoyable journey if they’d sipped an occasional espresso along the way! Be that as it may, their epic voyage inspired this deep dark blend.
One of the first things Voyage Coffee Roasters set out to do when they opened their doors to adventurous coffee lovers everywhere was to create a signature blend that would shine in espresso drinks. Beans from the Mogiana region of Brazil and those grown in the forested Aceh region of Sumatra journey together to create epic coffee moments in Odyssey Blend.

Aubrey Mills is steeped in coffee. Not literally, of course, but since 2013, she’s been preparing and tasting coffee for a career.

"The phrase that comes to mind with this coffee is, "best of both worlds". From fragrance to finish this coffee has a saturated sweetness that is balanced with the perfect amount of bitter. Dark chocolate asserts itself immediately from the first sip and develops into a distinct, raspberry candy flavor. The body is velvety, making it a perfect match for milk or to enjoy straight up. "
Voyage Coffee Roasters
Voyage Coffee Roasters was birthed in beautiful Eugene, Oregon, in 2012 when Scott Van Den Elzen decided to take his home roasting hobby to the Willamette Valley and his daughter, Jessamyn, decided to join him. Over seven years later, they are still going strong, and the rest of the family—Gabriel, Peace, Ryland and Alyssa—pitch in with packaging, deliveries, sales, ideas, and anything else that needs doing!
Roast Master Scott sticks to small batches of outstanding coffees, both blends and single origins, focusing on coffees that bring the flavors of rich chocolate, nutty, and caramel notes his family enjoys.
