Expect to find: - plum jam sweetness with some pleasing stone fruit acidity - there are also some floral notes tucked away (honeysuckle) - add milk and you get a different story - light cocoa and brewed malt. We love this blend
This blend has been a bone of contention in the roastery - then came along Holy Moly day.
These components - (El Salvador Shekina - Costa Rica Hermosa - Honduras Santa Marta) have been through so many configurations - we all kind of knew what we wanted from the blend - fruit-punch and at the same time candy-sweetness, the blend was kind of there - but not to everyone’s liking.
Then we had a collective Holy Moly moment – not only was the blend born but so was its name.
In the end we used 45% El Salvador Shekina - 25% Costa Rica Hermosa 30% Honduras Santa Marta.
Brewing Notes:
The espresso brewing system used, the number brewing parameters and methods employed pulling an espresso shot will have an influence on the coffee's flavour and mouthfeel.
We provide brewing benchmarks or brewing range indicators to all of our espresso blends to provide as much data as possible to gain the highest degree of consistency from the roastrey cupped shot to the baristas shot. These benchmarks and/or brewing range indicators are just that – all they do is suggest what to be looking for to get near to the roastery cupping shot as possible.
Where a brewing temperature and/or a shot time is not indicated in the notes it will be our standard set-up: - we use La Marzocco GB5 set at a temperture of 91C (196f) with a shot time of 25-30 seconds as from the first drop appearing from the portafilter. We dose our portafilters by levelling which is usually 18g of coffee per double shot.
Roasting Information:
We place espresso quality way before convenience - our espresso blends are never pre-blended before roasting thus ensuring the ideal roast profile is reached for each varietal used in a blend.
