Ozone Paramount Blend

Paramount is our carefully developed answer to a darker roasting profile – rich, smooth, and full of character. It shines as espresso with a depth of flavour that holds its own in milk-based drinks, but don't overlook it as a filter brew either. For those who enjoy something with a bit more weight and depth in the cup, it delivers.

• 40% Brazil: Ipanema, Pulped Natural
• 30% Guatemala: San Patricio Estate, Washed
• 25% Zambia: Mount Sunzu, Washed
• 5% Brazil: Rio Brilhante, Natural

The dark sweetness of toffee and a dusting of cacao nibs up front, finishing long on dark chocolate. Full-bodied and satisfying – the kind of cup that earns its place in a morning routine.

A note on pricing

You may have noticed this coffee has increased in price. We've held off for as long as we could, but raw ingredient costs have been climbing rapidly over the last 12-18 months – and we've had to reflect that. For more on the market forces behind it, we caught up with our Green Buyer, Roland, in our Journal – and wrote about the broader picture back in August.

Roast Information

Dark

With an extended development time, this coffee is taken gently to the edge of second crack – deepening the body and drawing out rich dark chocolate notes while retaining enough structure to keep it clean and complex in the cup.

Resting Recommendation
