Hodson

Formerly known as Blake which was named after Hasbean founder Steve's first school as a nod to old-school espresso blends, Hodson Blend was developed in recognition of the early days of Ozone Coffee so both share common roots in celebrating the origins of business.

The original founders of Ozone, Jamie & Karen Hodson, first began roasting in the small surf town of New Plymouth, New Zealand. Their moment of inspiration came during a visit to San Salvador. Jamie and Karen Hodson were on a six-week journey through Central America, exploring several coffee farms and meeting producers, one evening they were caught in a tropical lightning storm and Jamie was overwhelmed by the scent of ozone in the air. That evening he made the decision to venture into the coffee industry once he returned home to New Zealand. They founded the business on family values and were committed to growing meaningful relationships at coffee origins. This blend celebrates that original vision and our sourcing partners at origin.

Roast Information
Medium-dark – nice and steady through the crack to develop the sweetness. Drop it right at the end of the gap with maybe a pop or two of second crack.

Resting Recommendation
We recommend a minimum 7 day rest after the date of roasting before brewing this coffee as espresso, but there's a lot of personal preference in that. So, by all means, please brew whenever you like!

If you place an order before 07:30, it will be roasted and dispatched that day. If you order after 07:30, it will carry over to the following working day for roasting.
