COFFEE

At Emzi we take our coffee seriously, which is why we’ve teamed up with Extract Coffee Roasters to provide the best coffee experience possible. Our coffee has been specially selected to satisfy every coffee drinkers needs.  Extract seek out interesting, crowd-pleasing single origin coffees for coffee lovers to enjoy in cafes or at home, with milk, alternative plant based milks or black.

Our current choice is called the Rocket which offers intense black cherry and chocolate notes from our exclusive Brazilian blend, balanced out with a bright acidic top note from Honduras.

The Rocket coffee is based on a Brazilian  blend made from three classic varietals  Catuai, Mundo Novo and Bourbon which combined give  intense dried fruit and chocolate vibes, topped off with a super sweet, clean finish, and a hint of raisin.

Tommy & Martin from Extract headed to Brazil to meet with the quality team at origin and immerse themselves in Brazil’s coffee supply chain. At each stage of the journey, from the buying station to the warehouse, samples are taken and meticulously evaluated to ensure they meet our exacting standards. Whether it's checking for defects or assessing the aroma and flavour profile, the quality team works hard to make sure they’re curating the perfect flavour.

Extract coffee then sent  a team of coffee specialists to Honduras in search of a bright acidic top note for Rocket, to balance out the chocolatey, dried fruit notes of our Brazilian blend.

Being experts in the curation of flavour, we went looking for something that is consistent yet malleable so we can tinker with the flavour to get that perfect cup profile.

SUPPORTING FARMERS IN HONDURAS

This particular regional community coffee comes from an area called Lepaterique, where all the smallholders are subscribed to an agronomy programme that promotes the culture of constant improvement.

We fully support the work this programme carries out in Honduras, encouraging farmers to make changes to their farm, infrastructure, pruning programmes and management all to promote better quality. All these small changes make the farmers more productive and in turn more profitable. Access is then opened to the speciality coffee market, allowing these communities to sell their coffee through the right channels.

Our coffee is roasted on Bertha, a 30 year old 120kg Probat coffee roaster , rescued from Bosnia in 2012.

When we found Bertha she was completely decommissioned, a pile of parts destined for scrap. Over four years we rebuilt this machine, retro-fitting an afterburner to eliminate VOCs from it’s emissions and drastically improving fuel efficiency. Today, Bertha runs on just 40% of her original fuel consumption - a beautiful and efficient machine.”
