Five Ways Coffee Roasters

Introducing this undeniable Five Ways classic, an absolute crowd-pleaser. This seasonal coffee, sourced from Brazil with our friends at Falcon Coffees, selected and expertly roasted by our team to highlight the very best that Brazil has to offer. And trust us, we mean the absolute best! Allow us to introduce Fazenda Rancho Grande, a farm driven by a steadfast mission to responsibly cultivate coffee of unparalleled quality while diligently upholding environmental stewardship and employee welfare. Embracing innovation, Fazenda Rancho Grande has made substantial investments in multiple static drying boxes, elevating the caliber and flavour profile of their coffee offerings. This marks our third year of partnership with Jose and Flavio from Rancho Grande, as we continue to work together in 2023. Their unwavering commitment to perfection extends throughout every step of the coffee production process, from cultivation and careful picking to the post-harvest treatment. Once the beans are plucked at the peak of ripeness, they undergo a process of separation based on density, ensuring only the finest specimens make the cut. These chosen beans are then pulped, expertly removing almost all the mucilage, and carefully transported to the patios where they bask in the sun for a period of 7 to 10 days. Tasting Notes: chocolate, nutty, balanced Roast Type: Espresso We roast weekly to order. Shipping takes place every Thursday and Friday. Order before Tuesday to ensure delivery within the week.

The Five Points blend has undergone a development process spanning nearly half a decade. The outcome is an exceptional raspberry fruit-dominated composition, complemented by a pleasant milk chocolate sweetness that counterbalances the fruit like acidity, resulting in a harmonious blend. The fusion of two contrasting elements, which possess their own distinct merits, yields a formidable union. Our blending philosophy is to accentuate the finest qualities of each element. In this instance, we have chosen a Natural Brazil and a Washed Colombia. However, the intricacies and variability of coffee profiles intensify when considering seasonality. As the seasons transition, so do the characteristics of each coffee. To mitigate this challenge and ensure consistency, every component is subjected to a unique roast profile, refined through an extensive series of roasting trials. The Brazil is roasted to emphasise body and chocolatey sweetness, while the Colombia is roasted to highlight its vibrant sweet raspberry acidity. Our roasting team thinks this blend truly excels when used for espresso. However, if you opt to incorporate milk, you will be treated to hints of caramel and milk chocolate. We encourage you to be playful with the recipe! Enjoy! This one is a firm favourite! This blend is used at Five Ways East location. Tasting Notes: Raspberry fruit bomb, Cacao and Sherbet Roast Type: Espresso We roast weekly to order. Shipping takes place every Thursday and Friday.

Welcome to the Five Ways caffeine addiction rehabilitation page! Here, we provide you with the solution to overcome those unpleasant "shakes" while still savouring the familiar taste you love. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to the sugarcane process for making this possible. The Sugarcane process has emerged as a novel technique, prompting intrigue and raising doubts about its true nature as a decaffeinated option. This innovative approach harnesses ethyl acetate (EA), a naturally occurring by-product derived from sugar production (molasses). The process is simple and and follows these steps: The coffee beans are moistened with water and EA is circulated throughout. During this process, ethyl acetate interacts with the caffeine within the coffee bean, extracting the caffeine while preserving the majority of the flavour compounds. Once the desired caffeine level is achieved, the beans undergo a steaming process to eliminate any remaining residue of ethyl acetate. Natural EA is obtained from the sugar cane industry around Palmira, Colombia and is, together with spring water, the only other substance the coffee gets in contact with. Regret free decaf! You have to try it to believe it. Tasting Notes: Brown sugar, black currant and creamy Roast Type: Espresso You won’t believe this is caffeine free! You’ll have to experience it for yourself…. We dare you. We roast weekly to order. Shipping takes place every Thursday and Friday. Order before Tuesday to ensure delivery within the week.
