Costa Rica Dota Tarrazu

Say hello to our new favourite single origin on the block. Single-origin coffee is the flavour of the month right now, and after tasting our Tarrazu, you’ll understand why. It hit our shelves 2 weeks ago after a long hiatus – Tarrazu can be hard to come by –and it’s been a firm favourite among our team & café customers alike.

Hailing from the Santa Marta de Dota region in Costa Rica, Dota Tarrazu is a full & buttery bodied coffee with hints of peach & brown sugar. That’s my tasting notes – James (our op’s manager/all things coffee expert) calls milk chocolate & stone fruit. However, your palate tastes it – put simply, this coffee packs a punch.

Being grown at high altitude, and located in a cloud forest the mineral-rich, moist soil gives this coffee its dense, super-rich flavour. Tarrazu is not only home to great coffee but also many endangered species – including the Quetzal (a pretty cool-looking bird) – with most of the land also under conservation.

When visiting our café you can try our Dota Tarrazu in-house – we recommend it served as an espresso or long black, but will tolerate milk well. Can’t get in store, visit our online store – available in 250g, 500g or 1kg bags. Unfortunately, this coffee is only around for a good time not a long time. Get around it!

NB – Keep an eye out for a new single origin being added to the Brew family soon.

Café Femenino: Empowering Women, One Cup at a Time
A Taste You Can Feel Good About We all know that the best coffee gives more than just a caffeine kick. Café Femenino is proof of that. This blend is Fairtrade, Organic, and crafted entirely by women, as part of the incredible Café Femenino program. Start your day with a cup of coffee that’s rich in flavors of peach, orange, malt, and walnuts—perfect for those who love their espresso with a story. Why It’s More Than Just a Brew The Café Femenino initiative started in 2004 when 464 courageous female coffee producers in Peru chose to change their narrative from the ground up – literally. Stepping into roles traditionally held by men, these women began a journey toward economic and social independence. Now, this movement includes thousands of women across nine countries, each using coffee as a stepping stone to greater empowerment. With every pound of coffee sold, we donate 5 cents to the Café Femenino Foundation, thanks to our partnership with HA Bennetts. This money funds vital community projects – from building schools to improving healthcare – which these heroic women decide on themselves. How It All Works Café Femenino insists that participating cooperatives give women farmers control over revenues and land ownership. This economic empowerment translates into visible social change. The women of Café Femenino use their earnings to fund projects that create sustainable growth for their communities, improve health standards, and promote education among girls and boys alike. Grounds For Change By choosing Café Femenino, you’re not just buying coffee – you’re becoming part of a larger story. A story where every cup helps to foster equality, improve living conditions, and uplift communities. It’s a narrative woven by women who are reshaping their futures and inspiring change in our world. Try It For Yourself Visit Brew Coffee Roasters in-house or online to try Café Femenino for yourself. Every sip is a reminder of hard work and dedication of the women who made it. So, next time you’re near, swing by and let’s share a cup of Café Femenino together! ☕

Brewing the Best Memories with AeroPress: The Perfect Camping Companion
Why The AeroPress Reigns Supreme There’s an incredible variety of methods to brew coffee, especially when you’re outdoors. Yet, the AeroPress has proved to be our favourite travel companion, and here’s why: Durability: You might remember the innovative, indestructible “superdisc”, made by Aerobie. Believe it or not, that’s the same genius behind the AeroPress kit! Made of polypropylene, and stainless steel, the AeroPress is designed to withstand knocks and drops without a scratch. Lightweight: We know the struggle of having to choose between the essentials when loading the car up for a road trip! Fortunately, the AeroPress Kit cements coffee as indispensable when having this conversation. Weighing just 175g, It’s the ideal travel buddy for almost all adventures. Grounds Management: Once you’ve finished brewing, the coffee grounds compress into a neat puck, which can be easily discarded, prepping the AeroPress for another round. Who said cleaning had to be a chore? Consistent Quality: Every cup made with the AeroPress kit is not just good, but great. Its consistency has garnered a cult following, leading to national AeroPress coffee-making contests! Accessorise Your Brew While the AeroPress kit is a marvel on its own, here at Brew, we offer additional bits and pieces to elevate your next outdoor brewing experience. Cold coffee is nearly as bad as no coffee! It’s essential to keep that brew hot and steamy (or icey cold if that’s more your speed) when kicking back in the outdoors. The Fressko coffee cup interlinks style and sustainability, keeping your brew hot (or cold) for up to 3 hours! Understanding The AeroPress Kit Comprising of: Brew Chamber Plunger Filter Filter Cap Brewing with the AeroPress Two techniques dominate the AeroPress world – the Traditional and Inverted methods. Both have their merits, so it’s all about personal preference. Traditional Method: This involves placing the brew chamber directly atop your mug and allowing gravity to play its part in brewing. This method may lead to some under-extraction but is great for larger mugs. 1.  Preparation Place a filter inside the filter cap. Attach the filter cap to the brew chamber. 2.  Setup Position the brew chamber on top of your coffee cup. Ensure the filter cap is facing down. 3. Coffee Addition Grind approximately 11 g of coffee beans to a fine consistency. Add the grounds into the brew chamber. 4. Bloom Pour 200g of off-boiling water into the brew chamber. Place plunger on top of the brew chamber creating a seal. Start the timer and let it sit for 2 minutes. 5. Brew Continue pouring water into the brew chamber until almost full. Let it sit for 90 seconds. 6. Plunge After waiting, give the Aeropress brew chamber and plunger a “swirl”. Slowly and steadily press down, taking about 30 seconds. Once you’ve reached the bottom, you’re done! Inverted Method: By turning the AeroPress upside down, you create a sealed chamber, ensuring no premature seepage and more control. Suitable for an 8 oz brew. 1.  Preparation Insert the plunger into the brew chamber’s back, pushing it in just about one centimetre Turn it upside down so the plunger is at the bottom. 2. Coffee Addition Grind 16 grams (roughly 5 tablespoons) of coffee to a semi-fine texture. Add the grounds to the brew chamber. 3. Bloom Boil water and then remove from heat. Pour a bit of water into the chamber just enough to wet all the grounds. Wait for 10 seconds to let the coffee “bloom”. 4. Brew Pour in the rest of the water, filling up the brew chamber. Let it steep for 60 seconds. 5. Filter Preparation If using a paper filter, put it in the filter cap and dampen it slightly. If using a metal filter, set it gently on top of the chamber. Screw on the filter basket. 6. Flip & Plunge Carefully position your mug upside down on the filter basket. Holding both the AeroPress and the mug, flip them so the mug is on the bottom. Slowly press down on the plunger, taking about 30 seconds. Once you’ve pressed all the way down, you’re finished! Post-Brew Rituals Cleaning the AeroPress is a breeze. Eject the puck, give it a rinse, and store. A tip: don’t compress the plunger inside the chamber for long to ensure the longevity of the rubber ring. Dealing with the Uncommon Blowout Rare but recoverable, a filter blowout happens due to misalignment. If faced with zero resistance during the plunge, remove the plunger, rinse, and restart the inverted method. A great coffee experience isn’t just about the brew but also the journey. With school holidays approaching, the joy is in the memories made, stories shared, and the delightful cups of coffee enjoyed together. The AeroPress Coffee Kit promises not just an excellent cup of coffee, but also unforgettable moments. So, wherever you end up these school holidays, make sure the AeroPress Kit is part of your adventure. Happy brewing!
