Classic Blends

As we yo-yo in and out of lock down - our personal pick up option has been disabled again until we come out of Level 3.  The courier will still be coming for contactless pick ups.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

MOKHA-JAVA

The original blend, the Mokha-Java was originally created with Yemen Mokha and estate Java as the constituents. With more options now available, this blend is generally a 50/50 blend of East African and Indonesian, sometimes with a little bias towards Indonesian (55-60%). Try 50% Ethiopian Harrar, 50% Sumatran Mandheling or Java.

ESPRESSO BLENDS

  • A typical blend: 60% Brazil, 20% Colombia, 20% Guatemala
  • Clean and sweet: 50% Brazil, 25% Guatemala, 25% Sumatra
  • More aggressive and chocolatey: 50% Brazil, 25% Sumatra, 25% Ethiopia Harar
  • Dark: 40% Costa Rica, 40% Sumatra, 20% Ethiopia.

Some Melanges (a blend of coffees roasted to different degrees of roast):

  • Breakfast: 25% Sumatra (Dark), 50% Guatemala (Dark), 25% Columbia (Medium)
  • French: 50% Sumatra (French), 50% Columbia (Very Dark)

FILTER-DRIP BLENDS

Particular varietal qualities that would be favourable in a filter coffee brew might overwhelm the espresso extract.

  • For good body with carbony flavours and an acidy snap: 40% Columbia (Full City), 30% Mexico (French), 30% Kenya (City)
  • For good body with bittersweet flavours and acidity: 60% Columbia (Full City), 40% Kenya (City)
  • For nice balance, acidity and body: 60% Columbia (Full City), 40% Columbia (just past first crack)
