From the roaster

Early Riser is a blend that showcases a more traditional flavour profile. It was developed to taste sweet and bold with lingering dark chocolate flavours as a filter coffee and to be a smooth and balanced espresso. If you enjoy a more developed roast profile then our New Traditional coffees are the right choice for you.

Early Riser is built to be comforting and consistent in the cup. It works well as a daily filter coffee and remains smooth and satisfying on its own.

The current Early Riser is a blend of:

A natural processed coffee from Ethiopia. This coffee brings light aromatics and gentle brightness, adding clarity and clean sweetness to the cup.

A natural processed coffee from Brazil. This coffee creates the base of the blend with soft nutty notes, chocolate sweetness, and a fuller body.

A washed processed coffee from Colombia. This component ties everything together with balanced sweetness and a mild citrus lift that rounds out the finish.
