Cobblestone is a fresh, juicy espresso blend with a medium body and harmonious balance of caramel sweetness, underlying berry notes and a bright citrus acidity. It's inspired by the beauty and diversity of Latin America, the ever-changing landscapes, cultures and people, the seemingly endless range of coffee flavours to be found throughout the region, and of course Latin vibrance. Throughout this
diversity, a constant that harmonises the coffee lands bringing a sense of cohesiveness to the region are idyllic rural towns, draped in history with brightly painted houses that line ever present cobbled streets.
Second, and the majority part of the blend, is the return of the ever popular ‘La Magdalena’ from the Cooperativa Rio Grande de la Magdalena producer group in Colombia's Huila region. It’s a coffee full of milk chocolate, butterscotch, and hints of mandarin orange citrus flavours. Subtle undertones of roasted almond and vanilla add further complexity. This coffee is a high grown gem and adds structure, flavour and complexity to the blend.
This milk chocolate and caramel like quality forms the centre point of the blend so we roast both coffees separately on a medium roast profile before blending after roasting. This allows the rich dense sugar browning and fruit flavours of both La Magdalena and El Catuaí y Zapote to come through with a hint of roast flavours to add weight. When brewed look for a pronounced sweetness and flavours of milk chocolate, caramel, and red berry on a syrupy orange marmalade finish.
Cobblestone takes milk very well and delivers a lighter style of cappuccino or latte where toffee, milk chocolate and a red berry note come through with supreme balance.
The blend is primarily designed for espresso but will work in other brew methods. We've put together some brew recipes with supporting tasting notes for different types of coffee maker to start you off. Please use these as a guide only:
