What is Beyond? 

Beyond is a Seasonal Espresso Blend made up of coffees that could represent the future of Espresso blends. When we think of the word “Beyond” we think about the possibility of something that is greater than the current. It represents the countless flavours that origins have to offer.

To fall in line with the harvest seasons of coffee, we change up the components that make up Beyond regularly. With the availability of an interesting array of coffee origins and processing methods, you can always expect a bright, fruit-forward, highly interesting cup of coffee from this blend. 

Read on for more information on the origins and further reading on some of the coffee terms we use. If you would like to know more about the coffees we are always happy to chat!

Coffee terms/language

What is a Spot Seasonal Blend? 

A Spot Seasonal Blend is to offer an exciting and complex coffee that is linked up with the coffee harvest season. This allows us to bring you a coffee that is always fresh and flavour driven. 

Cup/Quality Score

Scoring coffee is used to define the quality of the coffee. Scores are given to the individual origins. To be considered “Specialty” a coffee must score a minimum of 80/100. Most Specialty coffees score between 80 – 87. Only a few outstanding coffees will score higher than this.

Roast Degree/Type/colour/style

Back in the days of old, coffee roasts were (and still are by some) only described as being light, medium and dark. These descriptions are still relevant to a point but coffee is no longer as straight forward. These days ones interpretation of colour can vary from roaster to roaster. We try to triangulate roast degree (Temperature) Colour and Development of the roast not just the colour (as different origins can colour differently)

Styles: Spot Seasonal Blend, Seasonal Blend, Modern Blend, Regional Blend, Single Origin.
