Bean There - Blend 23

Bean There Coffee Company is widely known for its pioneering efforts in establishing fair and direct trade coffee in South Africa. By partnering closely with producers across seven different countries, its commitment to African coffee goes far beyond simple sourcing. Bean There actively supports and reinvests in the coffee communities that produce its expertly-roasted beans.

While Bean There is celebrated for its single-origin offerings, the 23 Blend joins their iconic Blend 44 as an exciting addition to their line-up. This blend features the same high-quality single-origins that South African coffee lovers have come to expect from our Joburg-based roasting partners in a newly crafted configuration.

Blend 23 is a marriage of two fantastic coffees: Tanzania Kilimanjaro and Uganda Kapchorwa. If you already enjoy these components individually, this blend offers a unique opportunity to experience the best of both worlds, coming together with a medium roast profile that should be familiar if you drink their single origin offerings.

Notes from Bean There

• Flavour notes: This blended coffee exhibits crisp acidity balanced with toffee and biscuit sweetness and a lingering creamy finish.
