Blend Development: Engineering Your Signature Flavour

Create a coffee that is exclusively yours. Our Blend Development program is a collaborative, scientific process designed to engineer a unique flavour profile that defines your brand and captivates your customers.

For established cafes, multi-venue operators, and discerning brands, a signature blend is the cornerstone of the coffee program. It's a statement of quality and a crucial point of differentiation. We work with you to move from a flavour concept to a production-ready, consistent, and exclusive coffee blend.

The Collaborative Process: Art Meets Science

Creating the perfect blend is a journey. Our structured, data-driven process ensures that your creative vision is realised with technical precision.

1. Phase 1: Profile Definition We begin with a detailed consultation and a sensory calibration session. The goal is to define the target flavour profile, including acidity, body, sweetness, and key flavour notes.
2. Phase 2: Green Component Selection Based on the defined profile, our sourcing team selects a range of high-quality green coffees whose individual characteristics align with the target. We cup these components individually to understand their potential contribution.
3. Phase 3: Iterative Development & Cupping This is where the engineering begins. We create a series of initial blend iterations, roasting and cupping them with your team. Using a systematic approach, we analyze the results and make precise adjustments to the ratios and roast profiles.
4. Phase 4: Finalization & Production Once the perfect blend is achieved, we lock in the formula and roast parameters. This becomes your unique blend, ready for consistent production. It will not be offered to any other client.
