Mjólka is our darkest roast: a full-bodied blend of coffees from Latin America and Africa, created for espresso and designed to stand up beautifully in milk.

Expect plenty of depth and intensity, with notes of dark chocolate, black treacle and cinder toffee, but without the bitterness often associated with darker roasts.

Mjólka was originally developed for our very first wholesale customer, 412, as they introduced speciality coffee to their customers in Chorley.

They wanted a house espresso that would feel familiar to people used to traditional darker-roasted coffee, but which was clearly made from better coffees: sweeter, cleaner and more carefully roasted. The idea was to give customers a reassuring place to start, then gradually introduce them to the lighter, sweeter flavours of modern speciality coffee.

And that is exactly what happened.

Over time, their customers moved with them. Mjólka gave way to Langhūs, and eventually to their own signature blend, Fika.

The name comes from the Old Norse word for milk, which tells you exactly where Mjólka really shines. It has the body and intensity to carry through a cappuccino or latte, while retaining enough sweetness and character to avoid becoming harsh or hollow.

It’s equally enjoyable black if you like your espresso strong, bold and intense.
