Summer Espresso Blend – Gift Roasted Coffee Tin 300g

Taste & Crema

This espresso blend of selected coffee beans is built on the base of single origin specialities. The Arabicas we've selected are full of many attractive flavors among which we find caramel, lime, apple, strawberry, vanilla, herbs, tobacco, cedar wood and also a slightly bitter earthiness. Thanks to the extremely careful process of roasting each variety separately, some of the most interesting notes of flavor emerge. And also, thanks to the thorough search for the ideal ratio of varieties, an espresso blend with an absolutely unmistakable taste reminiscent of real summer has been created. It's chocolatey, bitter and strawberry fresh at the same time, with a cedary fragrance and a mysterious smokiness. This espresso blend is suitable for all types of espresso preparation, but you can also achieve interesting results using a Chemex or a filter.

Origins

Creating a truly outstanding espresso blend is a feat worthy of a master. Luckily, we have one, so thanks to his experience, refined palate and olfactory senses, we can offer you another seasonally-limited delight. Our summer blend is built to accentuate the atmosphere of a holiday – perhaps on a hot beach, but also in a shaded garden or in the cool mountains. Summer just the way you like it; Full of diverse aromas and wonderful flavors.

Each of the four singles in Origin Speciality Coffee have been roasted separately, just long enough and to just the right degree to lend something of its uniqueness to the resulting blend. Which, of course, corresponds to the uniqueness of the other coffees. Yes, it's a science. That's why we love inventing, preparing and tasting espressos. And that's why we only offer them a few months out of the year. If you crave details, be our guest. It's no secret what we've blended the Summer Espresso blend from. What we guard are the ratios and roasting grades and times.

The red fruit flavor and creamy smoothness of the blend is handled by Indonesia Java Jampit Estate Large Bean A/WP-1X. It is sourced from a traditional plantation in East Java at altitudes of around 1,100 to 1,600m, established by Dutch settlers in the 18th century. Unlike most Indonesian production, this coffee is processed through a full wash to produce a clean and balanced profile. The beans are dried in direct sunlight.

India Monsoned Malabar is one of India's top coffees. It is also remarkable for the size of the beans, which are beautifully yellow and, when roasted, lighter than it's usually common. We brought it from Karnataka, a region affected by frequent monsoons and winds. The coffee trees are planted at an altitude of 1,700m, near fields of cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. This means the coffee plant ripens slowly, but has plenty of time to absorb the unique aroma of the high mountains, the nearby Indian Ocean and the colourful nature. The beans are processed by monsooning, and their flavor is subtly bitter, pleasantly earthy and smoky.

Honduras natural Noe Portillo also grows in the hills. Noe Fernando Portillo, the owner of the San Fernando Farm, located in the Copan region, tends to the coffee bushes with his people. The caramel flavor, accompanied by traces of apple and lime, is one of the most sought-after. This is due to the soil conditions and the higher elevation, as well as the processing using the so-called dry method. Interestingly, the beans have also been dried in a solar dryer.

And we can't forget Nicaragua Las Campanillas Finca Los Potrerillos. It's a high-mountain, washed Arabica from the Jinotega region. Thanks to the altitude of over 1,70m at which the beans have matured, it has a balanced acidity, is refreshingly citrus-y and beautifully balanced.
