Lead Times on Roasting



South American Blend
South American Blend combines a rich dark chocolate foundation with caramel sweetness and subtle ripe berry character. Medium malic acidity adds a clean, apple-like brightness, bringing lift and balance without overpowering the cup.
The medium body and smooth, rounded mouthfeel make this a versatile coffee for both filter and espresso. Enjoy it black to highlight the fruit and chocolate profile, or with milk to bring out its caramel and chocolate sweetness.

Ek hou baie van die sjokolade en toffee-geure. Die lae suurheid maak dit heerlik glad en maklik om te drink.
