Coffee Blends, Singles And Deals
We offer five espresso blends, all year round. The Seasonal obviously changes, approximately quarterly. The Guatemala Blend, Seasonal and Climpson Estate work for a strong flavour in filter/plunger. The Baron and Sidamo-Daterra are designed to work with long milky drinks, or for the Southern Italian espresso flavour as a shot. Single origins, subscriptions and sampler packs are also in this section.
Climpson & Sons Seasonal Espresso Blend
Our changing Seasonal Espresso Blend allows us to use beans that are at their optimum, as we select interesting coffees that are two to three months out from their respective harvest and are landing in the UK rested and ready to roast.
Climpson Estate Espresso Blend
Our Kenya-led blend, sweet and floral… the perfect roast for plunger drinkers. Comprised of two ethically sourced single estate coffees, hence the name. Theres some lovely acidity but not as much as you would expect from a blend so high in Kenyan coffee.
Decaf Brasil Swiss Water Process
This is a Swiss water process decaf that has a rich and smooth taste. With a full body and medium acidity, this coffee has hints of milk chocolate and plenty of sweetness. Roasted to cut through longer milk drinks with an espresso base, and produces a medium-strength coffee in filter, cafetiere etc.
The Baron Espresso Blend
Available throughout London in some cafes using Climpson & Sons, at long last we bring this espresso blend to you in our webshop. This three bean blend is toward the stronger/darker end of the spectrum, for those that prefer it that way.
The Sidamo/Daterra Espresso Blend
Our Summer Espresso 2011 proved very popular, and we have kept it on until further notice, renamed to reflect the ingredients. A bold blend, perfect for milk-based beverages and as a mid-strength espresso shot. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
Guatemala Blend Medium Roast
We have married a selection of sustainable single estate Guatemalan and Brasilian coffees and roasted them to the sweet spot for filter and plunger lovers. The result is a complex, sweet and aromatic flavour experience, with distinct nutty and floral characteristics.
A sweet, smooth and balanced bean, grown by a co-operative of farmers on the slopes of the Andes. They all grow the catuai variety due to its suitability to the conditions… and we aren’t complaining. In fact, we use this coffee as the base for very popular cafe blend, The Baron. It has also featured in our Seasonal Espresso before, and is sure to again.
One of the world’s classic coffees, packed with wonderful orange and floral notes. The body is tea-like, with a milk chocolate finish. Roasted light to highlight the subtleties, perfect in filter or for a straight fruity espresso.
Kenya Peaberry Tatu Estate Filter Roast
We love Kenyan coffees in their many expressions, so hand-selecting peaberry beans seems like a great idea! We love to drink this cooled right down, which seems to highlight the blackcurrant note. From a very small producer, we have secured enough of this coffee to have it in our range well into 2012.
From the ubiquitous Mzuzu Co-operative, showing their diversity by keeping the varietals and lots from the many small farms under their banner separate. Here we roast their Geisha varietal nice and light, showcasing the sweet earthen tones balanced by a mild acidity and a subtle bourbon character that lingers on the finish.
Maragogype, Pacamara, Catuai, Maracatu … these are names for subspecies of arabica that grow larger cherry seeds (aka coffee beans) than the average-sized variety (such as typica or bourbon). The raw bean has an almost-blue colour as opposed to the usual green, and produce wonderful flavours reflecting the terroir they are grown in.
