Coffee

We are roasting daily with a close eye on our customers’ demands so that our coffee is always fresh. All our beans are roasted separately so that each origin does not lose its unique flavour characteristics. Because we blend after we roast, we are also able to send you single origin coffee. Discovering which style of coffee you enjoy is one of the pleasures of coffee and we offer a range of blends that will satisfy discerning palettes.

House:    Rich, aromatic, and full-bodied with a satisfying aftertaste. A perfect kick-start to the day.

A well balanced medium-bodied coffee with moderate acidity and a lingering palette.

Organic: Silver Medal Winner, Coffeefest 2006
A medium-bodied coffee with a smooth natural flavour. Fairtrade only.

Casera: Silver Medal Winner, Coffeefest 2006
Italian style espresso blend, smooth and complex with a chocolaty aftertaste.

Indian:    A heavy-bodied single origin with chocolate notes. Good stocks through to the end of 2010!
