African Amigo Coffee Beans Blend

Slumber Society's African Amigo Blend

Our African Amigo blend is a testament to the art of coffee sourcing and roasting, a carefully selected combination of exceptional beans. These aren't just any coffees; they're meticulously hand-sorted at origin, ensuring only the highest quality makes it into our blend, boasting less than 3% minor defects per 100g.

The Beans: Roasted Weekly for Maximum Freshness

• Mexico – Oaxaca – Washed Process: This washed-process coffee from Oaxaca provides a rich foundation, contributing creamy caramel and milk chocolate notes that particularly shine through in milk-based drinks.
• Ethiopia – Fulasa Gesha – Grade 1 Natural Process: The naturally processed Grade 1 Ethiopian Gesha adds a vibrant layer of complexity, introducing delightful sweet fruit and floral nuances to the blend.

Our head roaster employs a precise and nuanced roasting method, meticulously developing each bean to unlock its full flavour potential. The signature "S curve" roasting profile—an aggressive charge into first crack, followed by a gentle, low-heat development through second crack—allows the natural sugars to caramelise, enhancing the acidity and sweetness of the coffee. Each roast is carefully monitored to guarantee the beans reach their peak flavour.

The Result:

African Amigo delivers a harmonious blend of flavours: sweet strawberries, raspberries, lemon citrus, rich caramel, molasses, heavy creamy milk chocolate, and fragrant magnolia. It's a full-bodied and complex coffee, perfect for those seeking a truly exceptional and memorable experience. Sourced through direct trade relationships in Africa and South America, this blend is available year-round, showcasing the finest traceable coffees. Enjoy, brew with care and respect.

For optimal freshness, enjoy your coffee within six weeks of opening. The weekly roasting schedule ensures you receive beans at their peak flavour, not months-old stock. Note: You will not always receive that weeks batch but you can be certain your beans will be fresh!
