Description
The Altitude blend was a newer introduction to the line up, created for those of you looking for a coffee that packed a bit more of a punch. We've kept the famliar taste we love from Brazilian and Colombian coffees in the Origin blend, but changed up the composition a little and added in a small amount of coffee grown in India. This blend is also roasted slightly different to the others to bring out more of the coffee kick and lower the acidity naturally present in the coffees.
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. The Indian element brings the added little kick to the end.

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.
