Five Ways Coffee Roasters
Brazil & Colombia - Five Points - Natural & Washed
The Five Points blend has undergone a development process spanning nearly half a decade. The outcome is an exceptional raspberry fruit-dominated composition, complemented by a pleasant milk chocolate sweetness that counterbalances the fruit like acidity, resulting in a harmonious blend.
The fusion of two contrasting elements, which possess their own distinct merits, yields a formidable union. Our blending philosophy is to accentuate the finest qualities of each element. In this instance, we have chosen a Natural Brazil and a Washed Colombia.
However, the intricacies and variability of coffee profiles intensify when considering seasonality. As the seasons transition, so do the characteristics of each coffee. To mitigate this challenge and ensure consistency, every component is subjected to a unique roast profile, refined through an extensive series of roasting trials. The Brazil is roasted to emphasise body and chocolatey sweetness, while the Colombia is roasted to highlight its vibrant sweet raspberry acidity.
Our roasting team thinks this blend truly excels when used for espresso. However, if you opt to incorporate milk, you will be treated to hints of caramel and milk chocolate.
We encourage you to be playful with the recipe!

- Choose the right container: It's important to store your coffee beans in an airtight container. Look for a container made of a material that won't absorb odors, like glass or ceramic. Avoid using plastic containers, as they can impart a plastic-like taste to the coffee.
- Keep the container away from light: Coffee beans are sensitive to light, which can cause them to degrade more quickly. Store your coffee container in a dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard.
- Keep the container away from heat: Heat can also cause coffee beans to degrade. Avoid storing your coffee container near a heat source, such as a stove or oven.
- Store at room temperature: Coffee beans should be stored at room temperature, between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid storing coffee beans in the refrigerator or freezer, as moisture can cause them to spoil and lose their flavor.
- Use whole beans: It's best to store whole coffee beans rather than ground coffee. Ground coffee has a larger surface area, which makes it more vulnerable to oxidation and degradation.
- Avoid air exposure: Exposure to air can cause coffee beans to oxidize, which can lead to a stale or sour taste
