This 100% Arabica coffee blend combines beans from volcanic regions across Central and South America. The blend incorporates both washed and natural processed beans. Washed beans provide bright, fruit-forward flavors from high-grown mountain coffees cultivated in rich volcanic soils. Natural processed beans are dried inside the coffee cherries, allowing sugars and oils to penetrate the bean for natural sweetness and enhanced body. Varieties include Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, and Mundo Novo. Roasted to the cusp of second crack, the coffee delivers dark chocolate undertones with subtle hints of red berries and a touch of spice.
Grain & Grind opened its first coffee shop at the start of 2018 beneath the old Victoria Infirmary buildings on Battlefield Road in Glasgow. A roaster was installed in that original shop and later relocated to Inverness, where master roaster John now hand roasts in small batches across a range of over twenty offerings. The company has grown to eight café locations spread between Glasgow and Inverness. They also run a wholesale supply business providing beans, brew bags, and equipment to cafés, restaurants, and hotels, partnering with San Remo for espresso machines and Mahlkönig for grinders.
