Description
Our flagship ‘house coffee’ – our interpretation of everything we look for in a more traditional coffee flavour profile. Rich chocolate and nut, with a smooth texture and hint of fruit. This coffee is extremely versatile and suitable for a variety of brewing methods – from espresso all the way through to cafetière. Great either black or with milk. The name ‘Warehouse City’ is a nod to the industrial roots of the Royal Mill building our roastery is located in.

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.
This particular lot is from producer Eduardo Pereira at Abaete dos Mendes Farm in Carmo do Paranaíba, Minas Gerais, in the southwest of the country. It is a Red Catucai variety (hybrid of Icatu & Catuai) which has been pulped and semi-washed, before being dried on patios.
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 darker chocolate notes with walnut sweetness and a hint of spice. The texture is smooth, but slightly cleaner than you may expect – likely due to the semi-washed processing rather than the traditional natural we’re often used to with many Brazilian coffees.
