The Mount Blend is one of our most popular coffees thanks to its low-acidity, subtle sweetness and the way it captures the rich flavours of South American coffee. You’ll taste silky milk chocolate, rich caramel and sweet red grapes from beans we sourced all over the region.

It’s grown by a selection of specialist, mostly family-run farmers in Brazil, El Salvador and Colombia and roasted in small batches in Brixton to preserve the signature flavour.

Our best selling blend in fully compostable pods with a cool new name and packaging. Pop these coffee pods in your home compost and they will disappear in just 180 days.

Context

Mount Blend Coffee Pods, produced by Volcano Coffee Works, offer a convenient approach to specialty coffee. These pods are crafted to highlight a profile defined by milk chocolate, red grapes, and caramel. When evaluating such flavor profiles, it is helpful to consider how different processing methods and roast levels influence the final cup; for instance, coffees with chocolate and caramel notes often benefit from a balanced roast that preserves sweetness without masking the underlying fruit characteristics.

To better understand how these specific descriptors fit into the broader spectrum of coffee quality, enthusiasts often refer to a flavor wheel. This tool helps categorize the nuanced sensations found in a brew, allowing drinkers to identify the subtle interplay between the rich, sugary base of caramel and chocolate and the brighter, vinous acidity of red grapes. By utilizing these pods, consumers can explore these distinct flavor categories with the consistency and ease provided by the single-serve format.
