Czar St Seasonal Blend V.25

Czar St (za) is our seasonal blend here at North Star. It is named after a street in Leeds where we went to view a unit when first setting up the business! Whilst the unit wasn’t quite right, we loved the name of the street as it sounded perfect for a blend that is not anchored to the same components year round. Instead, it showcases the best coffee from the most recent harvests across the Tropics.

V.25 is built upon the solid base of Donald Efrain Roque’s sweet and creamy washed lot from his family farm in the Dipilito mountain range of northern Nicaragua. To that we have added a big hit of brightness and complexity in the form of a washed Ethiopian from new relationship with Bertu Coffee and producer Yidnekachew Dabessa. And to finish it all off, Nely Suyapa Orellana is back for a third year and contributing a rich and floral natural from her two hectare farm in the Celaque region of Western Honduras.
 
The resulting cup is sweet and complex, making this the perfect choice if you are after a more contemporary espresso. We find notes of forest fruits, muscovado sugar and gingerbread when served black and, in milk, you can expect rich and creamy vanilla fudge on the palate. This is a coffee that is at its best when served via metal filter methods such as espresso (17g coffee to make 36g espresso in 28-32 seconds), stove top or french press.

Once you have placed your order, you will receive an email to confirm it is being processed and then another one to let you know when it has been dispatched. We are currently operating with 3 working day lead time to process your order once you have placed it. We are offering free shipping for orders above £20

Operating times are 9am-5pm Mon-Friday. Orders placed after 12pm on Friday will not be processed until 9am Monday morning.

Local pickups take place from the Roastery on Tong Road. Please note our shutter doors will be down for security and temperature reasons but we are always in Monday-Friday between 9 and 5pm – just ring the doorbell on arrival

If you order 1-2 x 250g bags of coffee, they will be sent in a letterbox friendly package so that you do not need to be in to take receipt of your coffee.

Our 250g bags are 100% home compostable including the valve, seal and sticker! They will degrade in 6 months in a well managed home compost.

Our 1kg bags are currently in LDPE plastic - some councils will recycle this for you, if you are unsure simply take it to your local supermarket with your other plastic packaging.
