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.
This coffee was created as a homage to our founder's late father who gave him his love of coffee. The name refers to Mount Maunganui where he lived, the perfect place to enjoy a coffee flanked by the volcano, blue sky and the Pacific Ocean.
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.
You’ll taste silky milk chocolate, rich caramel and sweet red grapes from beans we sourced all over the region.
Best brewing methods:
✔ Espresso machine: highlights sweetness and body
✔ Cafetiere: for a full, rich cup
We recommend pairing with: A freshly baked croissant
