house blend

Signature coffee mixture

A house blend is a mixture of coffees, teas, or other ingredients that a particular establishment creates as its signature offering: I'll just have the house blend.

The term implies a proprietary recipe that distinguishes one café or roaster from another.

By extension, house blend can describe any customized combination that becomes a venue's standard: The bartender's house blend of spices.
