HIGH TIDE

ORIGIN : Central America & East Africa

ROAST : Medium

TASTING NOTES : Red Berries, Citrus, Dark Chocolate

Late one Friday night after blending a lot of different coffees and tasting shot after shot of espresso, we finally experienced the 'hold-everything! wow!' of our High Tide Organic Espresso. This espresso shines on its own, but can also transform into sweet fruit and cream in your favorite milk based drink. Brews beautifully on Kalita and Chemex as well!

We roast on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and to ensure the best tasting coffees, orders received after Monday may not be processed or shipped until the following week.

High Tide is a signature blend from Bard Coffee that draws its character from a curated selection of origins across Central America and East Africa. By combining beans from these two distinct coffee-growing regions, the blend aims to balance the bright, acidic profiles often associated with East African harvests with the structured, cocoa-forward foundations typical of Central American lots. The resulting cup features a profile defined by red berries, citrus, and dark chocolate.

When evaluating such complex blends, it is helpful to consider how different processing methods and regional climates influence the final cup. While Central American coffees are frequently celebrated for their balanced sweetness and body, East African varieties are often sought after for their vibrant, fruit-forward acidity. To better understand how these specific descriptors fit into the broader spectrum of coffee quality and sensory analysis, you can reference the flavor wheel to explore the nuances of these flavor categories.
