The shop's only blend, combining Brazil, Ethiopia, Yemen and Colombia for depth no single origin gives, roasted so aroma, acidity and body stay in step. Works hot or iced.
Floral, rich, clean finish

Albert's espresso-only blend, designed from experience in Naples to suit Japanese water. Roasted very dark without burning to bring out oils and a syrupy texture; sold whole bean only.
Bitter, syrupy, long finish

A natural Red Bourbon with gentle, cherry-like fruit and soft sweetness rather than sharp acidity.
Cherry, gentle sweetness

A washed Nariño coffee roasted dark without heaviness: cacao, roastiness and a mellow, everyday body.

A washed Yirgacheffe with lemon-like aromatics and a light, transparent body; floral and herbal-tea notes on a clean finish. Medium roasted to balance aroma, sweetness and body.

A honey-processed Indian robusta with almost no acidity: firm bitterness, spice and a heavy body that stands up to milk or adds backbone to a blend.
Bitter, spice, heavy body

A wet-hulled Sumatra with earthy, herbal aromatics and a heavy, classic kissaten-style depth.
Bitter, herbal, heavy body

A washed Kenyan roasted dark to round off its sharp acidity, leaving cassis and red-fruit aromatics over a rich body.
