Creole Blend Coffee is one of H.R. Higgins’ most historic and celebrated coffee blends, originally created by company founder Harold Rees Higgins in 1950.

Developed in response to customer demand for a stronger and darker coffee without excessive bitterness or acidity, the blend has remained a permanent part of the company’s range for more than seven decades. Creole Blend combines carefully selected Arabica beans from Brazil and Colombia, which are roasted to a dark profile that emphasizes richness, depth, and smoothness.

The coffee is known for its full-bodied character and distinctive tasting notes of dark chocolate, cacao, and blackberry. Despite its intensity, the blend is designed to maintain balance and complexity, avoiding the harsh flavors often associated with dark roasts.

H.R. Higgins attributes this character to a roasting technique developed by Harold Higgins that enhances flavor while preserving smoothness.

Over the years, Creole Blend has become the company’s best-selling and most requested coffee, earning a reputation as a classic after-dinner coffee while remaining versatile enough for everyday enjoyment. Its combination of powerful flavor, rich chocolate notes, and smooth finish has made it one of the signature products of H.R.

Higgins and a lasting example of the company’s coffee-roasting heritage.
