Featuring chocolate, nuts and caramel tasting notes, Classic Blend is an appealing everyday coffee for those who enjoy familiar flavours, a rich character and a balanced finish.

Brazilian Coffee from a Single Plantation

The Arabica component of Classic Blend uses high-grade Brazilian coffees sourced from a single plantation.

Brazil is one of the world's major coffee-producing countries, with a wide variety of growing environments and coffee varieties. The particular growing conditions, processing and roasting all influence the final flavour.

Brazilian Plantation Coffee

Our label identifies Brazil as the origin and specifies a single-plantation source for the Brazilian coffees. The plantation's name and precise growing region are not stated on the current label.

Robusta Coffee

The Brazilian coffees are lightly blended with a cleaned and polished Robusta crop. Robusta is a separate coffee species, often used in blends to contribute a more robust flavour character.

The specific country of origin for the Robusta component is not identified on this label, so it should not be assumed to be Brazilian.

Blend Composition — 80% Arabica, 20% Robusta

Classic Blend contains:

80% Arabica: The main component of the blend.

20% Robusta: The additional coffee component that completes the blend.

Arabica and Robusta have different characteristics, and their combination gives this coffee its particular composition.

The precise varietals of the Arabica and Robusta coffees are not specified on the current label.

Growing Altitude — 800–1,500 Metres Above Sea Level

The label lists a growing altitude range of approximately 800–1,500 metres above sea level (m.a.s.l.).

Altitude is one of several factors that can influence coffee development. Temperature, rainfall, soil, variety, cultivation and processing also affect the characteristics of the harvested coffee.

The label does not identify a separate altitude for the plantation or the Robusta crop, so the stated range should be treated as the blend's listed altitude information rather than an independently verified figure for each component.

Processing Methods — Natural and Washed

Classic Blend's label identifies natural and washed processing methods.

Natural Coffee Processing

Natural processing involves drying coffee cherries with the fruit still surrounding the beans before removing the dried fruit. The method can influence the finished coffee's flavour.

Washed Coffee Processing

In washed processing, the fruit surrounding the coffee beans is removed before drying. The precise steps depend on the producer's method.

Combining Different Processing Styles

The label identifies both natural and washed processing. The exact method used for each component of Classic Blend has not been specified.

Classic Blend Tasting Notes

Our Classic Blend features three key tasting notes: chocolate, nuts and caramel.

Chocolate

Chocolate notes give this coffee a familiar, rich flavour character that works well as part of an everyday coffee routine.

Nutty Flavours

Nutty notes complement the chocolate characteristics, contributing to the blend's balanced profile.

Caramel Sweetness

Caramel notes add a sweet impression to the flavour experience, rounding out the combination of chocolate and nuts.

These are tasting notes describing the coffee's flavour, not additional ingredients or flavourings.

Roast Strength 5 — A Full-Bodied Coffee

Classic Blend is rated strength 5 out of 5 on the scale displayed on the packaging.

Its product description identifies it as smooth and well-balanced, with a satisfying, full-bodied finish.

The strength rating describes the product's intended roast and flavour character; it is not a measurement of caffeine content.

How to Brew Classic Blend Coffee

Classic Blend can be prepared using your preferred brewing method, with the grind selected to suit your equipment.

Espresso Machine

Experiment with the grind and extraction time to find your preferred balance of chocolate, nut and caramel notes.

Cafetière

Use a coarse grind and adjust the brewing time to suit your taste.

Filter Coffee

Choose a suitable filter grind and experiment with your coffee-to-water ratio.

Moka Pot

Use a suitable grind and follow your moka pot manufacturer's instructions.

For whole beans, grinding shortly before brewing can help preserve the coffee's aroma.
