About

Acacia blend is our celebration of the speciality coffee world, featuring a seasonal rotation of the cleanest and sweetest coffees from our favourite farms and producers. With its delicate, sweet, and fruity flavours, Acacia works well for both espresso and brewed coffee alike. Components rotate seasonally, bringing to you the freshest beans from our producing partners around the world. This new version of Acacia Blend currently showcases two sparkling washed coffees from Central & South America. The first component called Monte Alban coffee comes from organic-certified small farmers near Oaxaca, Mexico. Named after nearby Zapotec ruins, Monte Alban was a major Mesoamerican city for over a thousand years. The coffee features notes of yellow fruit, almond, citrus, vanilla, and honey, with a dominant sweetness, mild acidity, and a clean finish. To round out the blend, we added a vibrant coffee from Peru - famous for its high-grown, beautifully processed beans with a perfect mix of clarity, acidity, and body. Ukuku is a coffee from Jaen and Cutervo, of the northern area of Cajamarca in Peru.

Roaster Notes

"Both components processed using the traditional washed method. Ripe cherries are handpicked, then depulped to remove the skin and most of the fruit. The beans ferment for 20-24 hours as natural enzymes break down the residue, then are washed clean and dried on raised beds until reaching 10-12% moisture content. The Ukuku lot is a blend of caturra, bourbon and catuai varieties. Cutervo and the higher elevation areas of Jaen are rich in biodiversity, with clay soils and permanent rain, close to the National Natural Reserve of San Andres and Huamantanga Forest."
