From the roaster

We have been roasting this blend since 2013, it’s our love letter to long-time producer pals. Smooth and sweet, with a creamy body. A real classic that is seriously easy to drink. Part of our Base Range: reliable, balanced brews for your everyday ritual.

For a limited time, The Docks has a fresh new look, designed by North Star barista and illustrator Jesse (@je55e.jpg).

It’s the same coffee you know and love, now starring a cheerful little fisherman inspired by the people Jesse would spot on their morning walks to Leeds Dock. Brought to life in Jesse’s signature character-led style, the artwork takes cues from the joyful, wonderfully wonky rubber-hose animation of the 1930s.

Expect : Milk Chocolate, Hazelnut, Orange. Enjoy with : With or Without Milk

Context

The Docks House Blend, crafted by North Star Coffee Roasters, represents a classic approach to coffee blending designed for approachability and balance. By combining beans to highlight notes of milk chocolate, hazelnut, and orange, this blend aims to provide a comforting, structured cup that performs well across various brewing methods. House blends are frequently developed to maintain a consistent flavor profile throughout the year, often leaning into the nutty and cocoa-forward characteristics that define traditional specialty coffee.

When evaluating the nuances of such a blend, drinkers may find it helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between the sweet, chocolatey base and the brighter citrus top notes. While individual components may shift seasonally, the focus remains on achieving a harmonious experience that bridges the gap between deep, savory undertones and the subtle, refreshing acidity of orange.
