Rested Coffee

Overall, we find that the modern style coffee needs a resting period to allow harsh and astringent flavor's to soften out, allowing a clearer and brighter expression of the coffee. Here you can find coffee that is ready to brew.

Scenery Coffee

Colourful Blend

14,95

V19: 50% Nicaragua- CM Natural / 50% Costa Rica Trad Natural. Light Roaster Influence
3 key notes: [Black Forest Gâteau, Plum Jam, Apple]

Sourcing coffees that are exceptionally vibrant, bright and intensely expressive, then blending them together for a raucous cacophony of flavour. This blend will be an exploration of modern processing and vibrancy, a year round staple of intense fruit-forward notes. Coffee in full Colour, not just black and white.

V19: Originally planned for V18 but arriving a fortnight too late; we selected a fun field blend CM Nat from our pals The Good Sourcing. Produced at Bridazul by combining the output from 2 farmers and 3 farms (Eudoro has 2), this coffee was super funky, boozy tropical and full of bassy loud notes and syrupy body. A mite more chocolate/redfruit forward on landing, we had a few ways we could have approached pairing with this coffee. Our traditional blending approach might have been a bright, high acid or top note heavy washed coffee, oft with low body - a best of both worlds approach.

But we thought - why not double down. This traditional natural Caturra from Hacienda Sonora, an ecologically minded estate in Costa Rica (with 45 HA of shaded production with high biodiversity out of a total of 100, with a 35 HA wild forest reserve) was the most traditional of naturals - we found heaps of cherry pie, grape and milk chocolate in a slightly pulp-y forward cup. Doubling up the funky natties, when we worked on test blending it was a bit like when two waves combine to make a larger wave - constructive interference - where they're very complimentary of each other and the end profile is Loud, Fun, Natty AF and emphatically "Colourful" - perhaps a little lower acid than some versions have been, but then Colourful has never been about perfect consistency in flavour as much as it is consistency in concept.

We're tasting:
Aromatics of red & purple fruits - we're finding blackcurrant, grape, strawberry alongside dates and dried figs. In the cup it's super rich and dense, with a chocolate fudge cake sweetness, boozy cherry kirsch and vanilla chantilly as the dominant notes - much like a black forest cake. As it cools we're finding lime boiled sweets, spiced plum jam, and mulled apple cider.
