Fruit Punch 6 – Special Release
Fruit Punch is a series of seasonal blends released annually, all designed to honour the finest qualities of fresh green beans. We select new coffees each year, roasted and blended to showcase the best that high grown, quality arabicas have to offer – vibrant acidity and fresh fruit flavours. A real Fruit Punch.
You asked for it, and we double-delivered with a 100% Ethiopian espresso blend. We just love these coffees: so fruity and juicy - the result of high-elevation growing, which promotes slow maturation and creates complex sugar development and a remarkable clarity of fruit flavours.
We've thrown together a washed and a natural to create a blend bursting with summer fruits (fresh strawberry, juicy nectarine) and punchy up front citrus acidity, and for the die-hard milk drinkers, expect a creamy caramelised sweetness when you add a good splash of dairy.
