Czar St. Seasonal Blend V.26

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.26 brings together a juicy washed coffee from long-standing producing partner, Renardo Vides in Guatemala and a beautiful natural processed lot care of an exciting new relationship with Dahab Mesfin and her organic farm in Ethiopia. The Guatemalan coffee makes up the majority of the blend to provide the balance required to temper the complexity that the Ethiopian brings to the brew.

The result is a coffee that is deliciously sweet but with good balance and depth. We find notes of orange, tinned apricot and madagascan dark chocolate when served black with hints of amaretto and peach yoghurt in milk. This is a coffee at its best in metal filter methods such as espresso (17g coffee to make 41g espresso in 28-32 seconds), stove top or french press.

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.
