We change-up the specific coffee we use for our Warehouse City several times a year depending on the harvest. We always use a single-origin Brazil, as we believe it provides reliable consistency all year round, with a comfortable and familiar cup profile.
We’re proud to have a long-standing relationship sourcing coffees from the team at DBarbosa Coffee. This particular lot is from Esperança farm in Minas Gerais, South-East Brazil. It is a Red Catuaí cultivar (hybrid of Caturra & Mundo Novo) which has undergone natural processing with an extended phase of fermentation.
We roast this coffee on a slightly longer, more developed profile compared to our other beans to try and highlight the chocolate and nutty sweetness. The acidity is muted with subtle stone-fruit notes. The flavour is bold enough to cut through milk – perfect for a flat white.
This specific lot has milk chocolate notes with a pleasant fruity sweetness which reminded us of apricot, and a subtle hint of citrus. The body is smooth, mellow and well-rounded.
