Blend Profiles:
ORAÂ ESPRESSO (Previously PREMIUM ESPRESSO)
'Same same but new name!’Â
The premium blend has a special place in our hearts, being the original and first house blend we created when we first opened our doors. With no intention to change its delicious recipe, we decided its name did not reflect its value to us as a family business. Rather than being true to its origins, the name suggests superiority, simply by its name, rather than by its flavours, characteristics, and lip lickin’ goodness! Therefore, we’d like to introduce that same great recipe as Ora Espresso – a maternal figure within our family framework that is part of what moulds the ethics and values we hold today.Â
The blend that started it all. A perfect balance of body and acidity. Notes of maple syrup and cherry, followed by a smooth honey & chocolate finish. Blends together with milk eliciting a warm, smooth, and creamy composition.

BRAZIL PEABERRY SINGLE ORIGIN COFFEE
Peaberry beans are widely known for their rich flavours. Most coffee cherry's contain 2 seeds (otherwise known as coffee beans), however a peaberry cherry only has one seed; packing all its nutrients into the one seed. This elicits characteristics that are much more clear, clean, and sharp. The Brazil Peaberry has tasing notes of cocoa, creamy, buttery and biscuity, creating a full bodied taste. Our single origin Brazil made itself popular through its profound nut and chocolate notes, leaving all who drink it amazed.
Origins: Brazil
Recipe:Â 22.5-23g in: 38-40g out. 28-32 second extraction

MEXICAN DECAF SINGLE ORIGIN COFFEE
Looking for a delicious coffee without the caffeine? Enjoy the taste of our single original decaf coffee from Mexico (without any nasties - it’s a Swiss water processed decaf). Starts with deliciously sweet ruby grapefruit, smooth rose and nutty notes, followed by a smokey finish.
Origins: Mexico
Recipe:Â 24g in: 40g out. 30-35 second extraction
How is the decaf processed?:Â The process is highly complex, but put simply the green beans are steamed gently, then immersed in water saturated with flavour compounds of coffee. As osmosis occurs, the only property that leaves the beans is caffeine. The essential flavour elements in the beans remain, balanced by the water already containing the flavour elements.
