DETAILS
This is Blake, our black blend. It celebrates a more syrupy, natural process-led espresso.
The name Blake is a hat-tip to my old school Blake Comprehensive and also a nod to the origins of this blend, it was created to deliver a slightly more punchy 'old school' experience - so the name of my old school felt like a perfect fit!
Our range of coffees here at Hasbean change with the seasons so throughout the year different coffees come and go, as this happens we update our blends to reflect that seasonality. The coffees in this season’s Blake are...
- 50% Nicaragua Finca Limoncillo Natural Red Bourbon
- 30% Ethiopia Ana Sora Natural
- 20% Guatemala El Limon Black Honey x Natural
CUPPING NOTES
Dried fruit, treacle syrup, fig, sultana
