INTRO
As Shoebox has grown as a roastery, they've become increasingly interested in blends and what they can achieve both logistically and for flavour improvements. House Shoes is designed to funnel coffees that don't quite fit their "ultralight" standard roast profile into a discounted, bulk-quantity blend roasted omni-light to better suit the green.
THE BLEND
For this iteration, Shoebox chose Rwanda Jiwama Red Bourbon Washed and Kenya Muinami Estate Ruiru Natural, blending them at an exact 50/50 ratio. The Rwanda washed component delivers very clean stonefruit, a lovely lemonade acidity, and a silky body. The Kenya Natural is bursting with clean red fruits, oolong tea and cola spices.
THE CUP
Together, we find notes of strawberries, raspberry lemonade, and a lovely specialty dark chocolate bass note that carries this very well as a 1:2 classic espresso or batch brew.
Flavour Notes
- 🍓 Raspberry
- 🍋 Lemonade
- 🍫 Dark Chocolate
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-12 weeks.
