SPECIALTY-GRADE BEANS

Instead of commodity-grade beans, our instant uses specialty-grade beans from the Oromia Farmers Co-Op in Yirgacheffee, Ethiopia. Graded with a cupping score of 85-90, this group of farmers' coffee beans is known for their sweet and clean flavours.

For those who aren't familiar with Ethiopian coffee, it's renown for being the birth place of coffee and its mountainous climate continues to produce some of the highest quality in the world.

PERFECT EXTRACTION

To bring out the full flavours of the beans, we extracted the perfect amount from the coffee beans.

Extraction is when hot water runs through the coffee beans to create the liquid versions in our cups. This is important because if coffee beans are "over-extracted" the end result is a bitter (but more economical) cup of coffee. If they're under-extracted, you get an overly light cup of coffee — with Three Capes, we've worked to get the balance just right to give you maximum flavour without the bitter.
