The Java Emporium's Northumbria Espresso Blend Roast Coffee Beans

Open Flame Roasted for Optimum Flavour and Darker Roast

This this blend is roasted until the natural oils start to emerge from the coffee bean. This gives the blend a traditional dark roast 'Italian Espresso' flavour and an excellent crema head. To maintain a consistent flavour bean are carefully blended to give the optimum balance. Currently the blend includes beans primarily from Ethiopia, Brazil and Vietnam. This changes over the seasons and harvests.

Unlike most roasters, the open flame roasting process hardens the casing of our dark roast coffee beans. This means that the beans are slightly darker than other roasters without getting burnt flavours. This helps to release carbon dioxide and develops the caramel flavours that this blend is so well known for.

The Flavour

More of an everyday espresso than the excellent espresso crema, not quite as intense. The coffee is roasted longer and darker than other coffees, resulting in a rich and smoky flavour. Some of the typical flavours of dark roast espresso are chocolate, caramel, nuts, and spices. These flavours complement the bitterness and acidity of the coffee, creating a balanced and satisfying cup.

How to Use

This medium roast espresso is perfect for making lattes, cappuccinos, and other milk-based drinks, as it cuts through the sweetness and creaminess of the milk. You can also enjoy it on its own, as a shot or a Lungo, for a pure and powerful coffee experience.
