特调 / 独创
"House blend" = a flavor they created in-house and thus unique to them. So I say 特调 for 特别调配.
"Down-home" can mean many things but I'll go for "original" here. "Down-home" = 独创

wait................ \"down-home\" has another meaning which might suit your context here: \"simple but good, old fashioned\" E.g. Hey, Ma. I can\'t wait to taste your down-home cookin\'.

actually \"house blend\" can also be 独家调配
(sorry for confusing you!!)

There is a typo:
Oh, yes, Edwin is the type of guy who prefers Louie's down-home javaover Cafe Croissant's hand-roasted house blend, a guy who likes his coffee raw and real.
...prefers Louie's down-home java over Cafe Croissant's...
house-blend is like house-wine = house specialty 咖啡馆的独特混成咖啡

Still trying to remember the right word for down-home
Is it 家乡风味?
