X-Rated

$12.50 – $41.00 – subscription plans available

This is a coffee that is just plain seductive. Four different coffees are blended to deliver an intriguing array of flavours. Flavours that will surprise you, flavours that may seem unlikely bed partners, flavours that won’t let you go; roast almonds, malt and floral notes, lively, zesty, bright and with the silkiest of bodies. Rather than roasting each coffee independently all of the green is ‘blend-roasted’ together right from the get-go. This technique promotes ‘interchanging’ where the flavours and heat from each bean integrate to produce a smoothing effect. When you are done with those bold brutish roasts and are ready to move on to a more sophisticated coffee, this will be the ideal place to start a whole new love affair with coffee.

This is our famous foursome Brazil Ethiopia, India and Papua New Guinea are roasted together to achieve a very zesty result. Tough to make, great to take.

Complex and sophisticated this is an incredible blend of four nation’s coffees. Because each bean roasts at a different rate, our roasters need to give this blend X-tra attention. It is one of the most challenging coffees we roast. While X-Rated brews well through espresso and stovetops, its floral notes and bright, silky palate allow it really to shine through plungers, filters and syphons.

The Body & Brightness Profiles:

When you first taste a coffee, you should first assess its body or mouth feel and also just how acidic or bright it is. You may like a coffee that has a whole lot of body but with low acidity. Or you may like a mellower mouth feel but a brighter acidity. It really is a personal preference, there is no right or wrong.

X-Rated has medium body and a medium brightness.

The Flavour Profiles:

What sets each individual coffee apart will be the flavours of what we call the “tasting notes”. The tasting notes are many and varied ranging from floral to nutty, spicy to berry, chocolaty to citrusy, just to name a few. These flavours make each coffee very different and so special. Where the coffee is grown, climate, elevation, soil type and harvesting techniques will all impact on the flavour so unique to each coffee.
