Origin
Inspired by the baristas of Brooklyn, who value the natural sweetness of coffee and apply a light roast to protect it, we carefully selected Arabicas from Kenya and Indonesia to develop this smooth blend, that reveals its natural caramel and sweet biscuit notes when combined with milk.
Taking our inspiration from Melbourne baristas - the masters of robust, but perfectly balanced tastes - we chose Arabicas from Colombia and Ethiopia and then split-roasted them in a very contrasting manner, to create an intense, roasted coffee taste that balances perfectly with milk.
