'Crisis Coffee was born off the back of our trainees - off the back of thinking how amazing it would be if the coffee they were making and serving in our Cafes from Crisis was part of their journey as well. Crisis Coffee means that our trainees have ownership over the product that is the vehicle for helping them to change their lives. It also broadens the way that customers can support us - you can buy this coffee in every one of our cafes, or a bag to take home, knowing that each purchase brings Crisis closer to ending homelessness in the UK.' Charlie Atkinson (Cafe Manager, Cafes from Crisis)

We recommend pairing with: Chocolate Éclair.

The Crisis Coffee Blend, crafted by Volcano Coffee Works, represents a thoughtful marriage of origins, combining beans sourced from Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo. By utilizing both natural and washed processing methods, the roaster balances distinct structural profiles within a single cup. Generally, natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit characteristics, while washed coffees often highlight cleaner acidity and clarity. Understanding these processing methods is essential for identifying how different techniques influence the final cup profile.

In this blend, the roaster highlights notes of stone fruits, hazelnuts, and clove. These descriptors sit across various segments of the flavor wheel, moving from the sweetness of orchard fruits to the savory, spiced depth of nuts and aromatics. This combination offers a complex experience that bridges the gap between traditional comfort and nuanced fruit-forward profiles, making it a versatile choice for those exploring the intersection of diverse regional characteristics.
