Our everyday coffee: milk chocolate, hazelnut and caramel. Brazil Cerrado for body and sweetness, Guatemala Antigua for a little lift, roasted medium (3 of 5) so it tastes good black or with milk, in a plunger, a moka pot or a filter machine. In Afrikaans a koppie is a small hill and a cup, and both fit. Whole bean or ground for espresso, filter or plunger, in 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg bags.

About this product

This is the bag on the counter at the roastery and in most of our kitchens. We built it to be easy: sweet, smooth and forgiving of a rushed morning or a cheap grinder. It is 60 % Brazil Cerrado from Fazenda Chapada Alta, for chocolate and body, and 40 % Guatemala Antigua from Finca Ceniza Alta, which adds a touch of orange so the cup does not taste flat.

Thandi roasts the two coffees separately, each to its own profile, and blends them after roasting. Every bag carries its roast date.

In the cup

Milk chocolate, hazelnut, caramel. A full, smooth body. The acidity is low and soft, and the finish is sweet and clean. It holds up well in milk.
