Unroasted - Espresso Jubilee (Coffee of the Week)

About this blend

A focus on flavour oomph crowned by a rich crema.

This favorite in-house blend draws its inspiration from Europe’s storied coffee culture, which finds its heart in Vienna. Recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage since 2011, at its peak, Vienna boasted approximately 600 coffee houses (around 1900-1910). Today, 150 continue the tradition characterized by marble tables, Thonet chairs, newspapers, and lingering patrons. This is the atmosphere we endeavoured to create, in spirit, at our former bricks-and-mortar café on Bathurst and Bloor. We even went WiFi-free, before that was fashionable, to lean in more on an old-world notion of presence over preoccupation. Espresso Jubilee carries the richness of that heritage forward.

In the cup: Jubilee is markedly different from the other blends we carry. Expect more density, body, and crema from this gorgeous love letter to café culture. At a light roast, the reward is sweeter. For espresso that captures a classic, Italian-style flavour, we recommend Full City+. Flexible to brew preference, the added bonus of low acidity makes this a great choice for fans of a darker roast. This blend requires patience for those of you roasting at home. A slow and consistent heat is the light to follow.

Roasting Recommendation: City-Full City+ or to preference for espresso. For an explanation of our different roasts, see here: http://greenbeanery.ca/pages/roasting-chart.
