Taste Profile
Midnight Oil is a bold, traditional European blend that pays homage to the old-school palate. This three-bean recipe offers a delightfully intense flavour profile with rich notes of bittersweet chocolate, warming spices, and smoked cedar. Despite it’ powerful taste and name, the midnight oil is roasted just short of a true dark to avoid unwanted bitterness or the oily residue that can gum up even the best coffee grinders.
Formulation
The core of Midnight Oil is a Sumatran wet-hulled bean, renowned for its molasses-like sweetness, earthy and chocolatey umami notes, mixed over a blend of our Mexican Chiapas and Mogiana Beans. Sourced from family-owned farms in Aceh, on the island of Sumatra, this bean is supported by the KSU Gayo Mandiri cooperative. The cooperative reinvests in the community's infrastructure and healthcare
