Our award winning Common Grounds now comes in 150g Gift Tins.
Common Grounds grew out of a collaboration on a coffee porter with our friends at Magic Rock Brewery. They were aging the porter in bourbon barrels and we borrowed one to experiment with resting green coffee in before roasting.
After much experimenting we arrived at the choice of a washed Ethiopian Yirgecheffe whose natural floral, citrus character became completely transformed by the process. Retaining notes of vanilla and dried fruit from the oak and carrying a surprising amount of sweet Bourbon aroma this formerly limited-edition coffee is a regular sell-out and cult favourite amongst customers worldwide.
Please note that because each batch must be aged in the barrel for up to two weeks there can sometimes be a short wait for the coffee to be roasted. The flavour and intensity of the whiskey character may also vary as different barrels affect the coffee in their own way - just as single cask whiskies have their own unique signatures.
