About this product

Dark, rich and full-bodied. The Classic Blend opens with deep chocolate and a caramel sweetness that comes from a slightly darker roast profile. Behind that, a clean walnut finish and just enough acidity to keep things interesting. This is coffee for people who like their coffee to taste like coffee.

Two origins make up the blend. Ugandan beans from Bujuku bring robust, earthy depth, and Brazilian coffee from Sertao adds smooth caramel and nutty sweetness. Strong enough to cut through milk without losing its character.

Beans arrive in nitrogen-flushed bags to lock in freshness for weeks after roasting. Roasted in London, dispatched fresh.

Why it's BRiMM

Dark chocolate up front, then caramel, then a clean walnut finish that lingers. This is proper, full-bodied coffee that cuts through milk and stands up in an espresso without losing its character.

Ugandan beans from Bujuku bring the depth and earthy weight. Brazilian coffee from Sertao adds the smooth caramel and nutty sweetness. Roasted in London by three-time UK Barista Champions on a Loring Smart Roaster, at the UK's first certified carbon negative roastery.

Organic. Carbon negative from bean to bag. Nitrogen-flushed for freshness
