Espresso Blend

Our espresso blend offering consists of three coffees, Archetype, Stereotype and Prototype. Each of these highlight different flavour characteristics that can be enjoyed as espresso or filter strength coffee.

Archetype, a big favourite amongst our wholesale customers, probably in part due to how easy it is to extract, is full bodied with low acidity and notes of dark chocolate and hazelnut (the Archetypal espresso blend). Stereotype, an espresso blend of two American coffees, highlights slightly more sweetness than Archetype with less acidity than Prototype and notes of caramel and milk chocolate. Prototype, the fruitiest of the three blends, is often made up of African and Central American coffees. We find a lot of our wholesale customers choose this espresso blend to really set themselves apart and with the right care and attention it can be a really amazing, complex espresso.

Using an espresso blend is a big consideration for many cafe owners in particular as it gives them the opportunity to deliver a more consistent coffee to the barista and customer. As fresh crops of coffee come into season, we substitute ingredients that are starting to get old with new ones that have a higher moisture content and more complexity, keeping a blend packed full of flavour all year round. For example the African components that feature in our Prototype espresso blend might change throughout the year from Northern hemisphere coffees like Ethiopian and Kenyan (harvested in winter and shipped in spring) to Southern Hemisphere coffees like Burundi and Rwandan (harvested in spring and shipped in Autumn), providing us with that African fruity flavour all year round.
