ROASTER NOTES:

Cherry, chocolate mousse and forest fruits fill the cup with this next iteration of Red Brick. Returning to small-scale farmers with Palmera from Huila and Jaén from Cajamarca. In each area, our export partner collates traceable lots from producers in the area to create a harmonious representation of the regional terroir.

A highlight of Red Brick is our focus on creating an easy-to-work-with espresso blend. Every week, we test Red Brick’s consistency and extraction (the percentage of solubles dissolved during coffee preparation) on both a professional and home espresso setup. We’ll pull multiple shots, measure time and output, and run each through a centrifuge before testing extraction percentage. We’re aiming for a blend that produces similar flavours with a consistent shot time and yield - easy to replicate once you’ve dialled it in. Most fundamentally, we also taste the espresso (alone, and along with cow’s milk and oat milk) to make sure we’re getting the sweet, balanced profile that makes a perfect shot.
