The Blend, The Roast

100% Arabica Blend 5 is made up of hand selected Arabica beans from four established coffee growing regions.

The low acidity and full body of Indonesia's Arabica provides the perfect base for blending with coffee from Central America and East Africa. We add the bright, delicate citrus flavours of Nicaragua and chocolatey tones of the higher acidity Ethiopian Arabica. Colombia, with its ideal terrain and climate, is one of the few countries to grow only Arabica beans and is a must have feature of this blend.

Skilfully blended by award winning roasters, Blend 5 is medium roasted to retain the distinct subtle flavours and draw out some of the caramel notes of a longer roast. Blend 5 offers a fully rounded finish that is balanced in terms of body and acidity.

Blend 5 is captured fresh into capsules that are packed on the day it is roasted.

Interesting Facts

Arabica has over 50% more oils than Robusta, which contribute to aroma as well as a fuller flavor and longer aftertaste.

The Blend, The Roast

Blend 7 introduces Indian Robusta to our range. Known as a premium Robusta which allows the roast to go that little bit harder. When blended with Brazilian Arabica Blend 7 offers a medium to strong intensity coffee that is full of flavour.

Indian Robusta is widely used in Espresso coffee. A longer roast caramelises the bean’s natural sugars and oils to reveal a less acidic coffee with more sweetness. Brazilian coffee is soft, nutty, with low acidity, and offers a nice bittersweet chocolate taste.

Blend 7 is a clever design where the new (coffee) world meets the old. Indian Robusta allows the roaster to develop the full body and intensity of the Robusta bean that provides the bold and earthy base to each cup. Sprinkle on top the spicy tones of a classic Brazilian Arabica that have been allowed to draw out in the roast.

Blend 7 is freshly ground and packed into each capsule so that you get a great pour every time.

Interesting Facts

High quality Indian Robustas are highly sought after in espresso coffee due to the strong taste and crema that they are able to create.

The Blend, The Roast

When asked about the characteristics of the blend and roasting behind Blend 10, our roaster replied, “maximum Robusta content, maximum roast”. Blend 10 is the embodiment of what the very dark roast does to the flavour of the coffee bean.

Start with premium Indian Robusta, as much as is possible, to give the roast some big meaty natural elements to work with. Add Brazilian Arabica, a high quality bean providing the balance of flavour.

With very dark roasts it’s all about the crack. Roasters listen for the first crack, when the bean gives off its moisture, and then the second crack (at around 225oc) as the cell structure in the bean starts to carbonise (burn!).

Blend 10’s very dark roasted beans lose their original flavours and take on the flavour from the roasting process. The coffee has a smoky perhaps even slightly burnt taste. Bittersweet flavours are prominent. The coffee has a spicy aromatic note delivering strong flavours that can have an almost warming effect.

With our 100% oxygen barrier capsule technology, your Blend 10 coffee is as fresh as the day it was roasted.

Interesting Facts

Very dark roasting is an art, an expression of the roasters ability to put their own stamp on the flavour of the coffee bean. If a very dark roast is allowed to progress much further the coffee will literally go up in flames.
