Seasonal Blend

Seasonal blend: celebrating coffee’s seasonal nature

You'll find a punnet of sweet nectarines alongside a handful of almonds in this cup. Silky dried apple lingers comfortingly on the palate long after that first sip.

A blend that changes with the harvest

Coffee is a seasonal crop, so the coffees in this blend change through the year as fresh harvests arrive. Our roasting team tastes what's landing from our producers and picks components that work well together. It's sweet, and it works as espresso or filter. The bag in your hands is always fresh, in-season coffee. Want to know why? Read The Coffee Arrival Calendar.

If you've been with us a while, you might remember this one as Jabberwocky and Brothers.

Recommended brew recipe
Dose: 18g

Yield: 38g
A starting point we like. Tweak it to your taste.

Roast
Medium. We take it through first crack and into the gap, keep things fairly quick, and drop just as second crack starts.

Resting
Rest it for at least 7 days after roasting before brewing it as espresso. Plenty of people like it earlier, so brew whenever you fancy.
