A few times a year, we host Cafe Day at our Roastery. It’s an opportunity for our Roastery Team to down tools, come together and create some new and innovative coffee experiences. We transform our Training bar into a space not too dissimilar to one of our thriving cafe partners. Our team creates coffee-based beverages that are designed to push the boundaries and help us experience our coffee in a slightly different light. Asking the question “What if we have a ridiculously delicious coffee blend that’s specifically crafted to complement a premium affogato?” That led us to develop the Expedition Mega Blend.
The Expedition Mega Blend
The Expedition Mega Blend comes from three standout coffees, each chosen for the flavour, structure and character needed to elevate a premium affogato. Here’s the breakdown:
It’s created to complement a premium affogato. The blend's flavour profile was enhanced by tasting it with gelato and sorbet samples from the legends at "Cow & the Moon in Newtown Sydney."
This blend was developed by combining coffee from our Expedition program to complement a new premium affogato. The flavour profile was enhanced by pairing it with Blood Orange and Mango sorbets from Cow & the Moon, which were specifically chosen to elevate the texture, taste and mouthfeel of the final drink (or dessert - whatever you prefer to call it).
The blend's sparkling acidity is balanced with two drops of Apax Jamm minerals.
