Description
Origin Blend, previously known as the Original Blend, was the first espresso blend we created. The coffee's we chose to use were a result of many years working in the coffee industry and understanding what a good, easy drinking & crowd pleasing coffee shoud taste like. This blend is created using coffees from two of the worlds most popular regions, Brazil and Colombia, both chosen to add specific characteristics to the overall taste profile.
Brazilian coffees are generally well known for their low acidity and smooth chocolate taste with milk. Our Colombia coffee is grown at a higher altitude which allows the cherries to mature at a different rate to those of Brazil. Adding sweeter acidity, fruit notes and a thick body for strength.
6x1kg Origin Espresso Blend
Most of our coffees are suitable for all brew methods. Some will shine more brewed certain ways but that is ultimatley down to your own personal preference. However you chose to brew your coffee always make sure your using fresh beans, weigh the amount of coffee your using, time your brew and weigh the yield of your coffee.
A guide for home double espresso could be to use 18.5g of coffee, and extract in 25-30 seconds for a yield of 35-40ml.
A guide for home filter coffee could be to use 19g of coffee, brewed in 3-4 minutes with a yield of 250ml of water.
Once you have these or any other starting point you can then experiment and adjust your recipe to acheive the taaste you want. For example, for a slightly strong cup use more coffee or try a lower yield amount.
