Brazil Peaberry (medium-strong, roast level)
Cup Profile
Brazil PB is appreciated for its rounded, balanced cup, with tones of fruit and nuts and having a long finish
Note
Generally hailing form the Cabo Verde area in Minas Gerais district of Brazil, our peaberry is formed from the co-operative efforts of neighbouring farms. At an average altitude of 950 meters and having a climate with well defined seasons and low humidity, the beans mature into a very saleable crop. Peaberries are formed when the cherry concentrates all its energies on making one pea sized bean, not the normal two flat beans. With the nutrients being concentrated into one bean, it produces a more juicy coffee and performs better in the cup.

| Our Single Origin Coffees |
Sumatra, Organic Mandheling District (full dark roast, roast level 5)
Cup Profile
A very heavy bodied, rich, smooth South East Asian coffee. There’s such a great, ink-black sweetness in this cup, with overtones of dark toffee with lingering dark caramelised sugar and some even say, spiced rum, all adding to the overall “noir” character of this cup
Notes
Sumatra Mandheling coffee grows in Padang’s west-central region between 2,500 and 5,000 feet above sea level. Sumatra Mandheling is a great coffee for espresso drinks, taking milk or cream well without loss of flavour. Customers who like powerful strong dark Italian roasts keep coming back for this one.
Strength: 5 – 5+

Cup Profile

Delicious spicy coffee slowly dried in the moist winds blowing during the monsoon season. Hard roasted to release spices and flavours.

Decaf, Ethiopia Sidamo 100% Arabica. Non-chemical Swiss Water Decaf (medium strong, roast level 4)
Cup Profile
Decaf Ethiopia Sidamo coffee has citrus notes, hints of green tea and a rich bold aroma.
Notes
The Sidamo province of Southern Ethiopia is famous for its fertile highlands and its coffee plantations. Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee has only one harvest, which takes place late in the year and this small Arabica bean is bursting with flavour.
Swiss Water Process
This is a decaffeination process which leaves the coffee flavours in the bean by gently washing the green beans and soaking in hot water to release 99.9% of the caffeine.
