From the Cupping Table

Cupping Notes & Brewing Advice

This coffee presents a clean, vibrant and juicy profile. Expect notes of blueberry, black cherry, and raisin, complemented by dried dates, dark chocolate, and creamy textures. A balanced and rounded body carries the rich fruitiness, with a lingering sweetness and a smooth finish. Its complexity shines through with depth and clarity, making it both dynamic and approachable.

We would recommend brewing as Espresso and Filter.

  • Very Light and/or Very Dense Coffee: 10 days or more

Coffee Roasted for Espresso:

Resting allows the coffee flavours to develop fully.

While these recommendations generally provide the best results, individual preferences and specific beans may vary.

How should I brew my coffee?

Each coffee's unique characteristics make it suitable for specific brewing methods. We consider several factors when recommending the best brewing approach for each coffee:

  • Origin
  • Processing Method
  • Variety
  • Inherent Characteristics: potential acidity, body, and sweetness, for example

By understanding these elements, we can tailor our roasting process to highlight the coffee’s strengths and suggest the optimal brewing method to fully appreciate its unique flavours.

Our goal is to provide you with the best possible coffee experience, ensuring that each cup you brew is delicious and true to the coffee's potential.

We will soon have brew guides to accompany our recommendations that take into consideration complexity, budget, available equipment etc.
