Czar St. Seasonal Blend V.27

Czar St (za) is our seasonal blend here at North Star - named after a street in Leeds we went to view a unit on when we first set the business up! Whilst the unit wasn’t quite right, we loved the name of the street which sounded perfect for a blend that is not anchored to the same components year round - instead showcasing the best coffees from the most recent harvests across the Tropics.

V.27 is built upon the solid base of Donald Efrain Roque’s sweet and syrupy washed lot from his family farm in the Dipilito mountain range of northern Nicaragua. To that we have added a hit of brightness and complexity in the form of a buttery washed Rwandan lot named Gito - a blend of tiny, high quality beans from washing stations across Nyamasheke District. And to finish it all off we have added a fruit-forward and funky natural from long-standing Guatemalan based producing partner, Renardo Vides.

The resulting cup is sweet and complex, making this the perfect choice if you are after a more contemporary espresso. We find notes of tart citrus fruit, dried cherry and toffee when served black. In milk, you can expect rich lemon and vanilla buttercream on the palate. This is a coffee that is at its best when served via metal filter methods such as espresso (18g coffee to make 38g espresso in 28-30 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. 

Royal Mail 2nd class tracked postage is included for orders over £25. Orders under £25 will add £4.10 for 2nd class tracked postage. Alternatively, you have the option to include 1st class tracked postage for £5.

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.
