SQUARE MILE IN THE HOUSE

We are thrilled to announce that our latest guest roaster is the legendary Square Mile out of London. Recognised as one of the best speciality coffee roasters in the world, their beans really are the best and are always so popular with our customers. They are available in our speciality coffee shops in Dublin city centre on Montague Street and in Arnotts on Liffey Street in Dublin 1 as well as in our new coffee shop on Leeson Street just off Stephen’s Green.

We have three espressos and five filters in from Square Mile, including:

Red Brick (espresso; Costa Rica and Guatemala): MILK CHOCOLATE/COLA/CITRUS.

“As the crops change, so do the components of our Red Brick, highlighting harvest cycles and celebrating the seasonality of coffee. We've combined the great fruit qualities from each component and allowed the sweetness to shine. Our current seasonal blend is composed of two different lots of coffee from two different origins. It is 50% Santa Anita (Costa Rica) / 50% Huehuetenango (Guatemala).”:

El Vendabal (espresso; Costa Rica): YELLOW PLUM/HAZELNUT/CRÈME BRÛLÉE

“We're happy to welcome the El Vendabal back into our coffee line up, with this year's lot roasted for use with espresso machines and Moka pots. The coffee shows clean crisp acidity, like a ripe yellow plum, nutty notes of hazelnut and the rich goodness of crème brûlée!”

Bosques (filter; Guatemala): ORANGE/ TREACLE/ PRALINE

Another fruity coffee from our seasonal regular Bosques de San Francisco. Hailing from the Antigua region of Guatemala this lot shows a sweet, heavy, treacly body, accompanied by fresh oranges and nutty chocolate praline flavours. This will be a real crowd pleaser we're sure!

We also have the Guaracho espresso and the Ngarariga AB, Sumava Lourdes, Kayon Mountain and Juanachute filters.

If you like coffee, you will love these.

Thanks.

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

We are delighted to have opened a new Joe’s specialty coffee shop on Leeson Street Lower in Dublin 2. It is located in the Alchemy Juice Co cafe just up from The Sugar Club and just off St Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin city centre.

Alchemy is still going strong but now supplies its juices, smoothies, healthy treats, soups, stews and salads to various locations around Dublin including our specialty coffee shops on Montague Street (off Harcourt Street) and in Arnotts Department Store on Liffey Street in Dublin 1.

This means the new Joe’s on Leeson Street has a great selection of Alchemy salads as well as our range of special sandwiches and our own range of salads. This is all about giving the consumer – you! – more choices in what you eat.

The new Joe’s also uses beans from The Barn Berlin as its house roaster and will have a range of guest roasts too. In fact, to celebrate the opening, we are delighted to say that we have one of the world’s most famous specialty roasters as our first guest, Square Mile out of London.

So, see you on Leeson Street . . .

Thanks.

ASSEMBLY TIME

We are delighted to have a really special new guest roaster in our two specialty coffee shops in Dublin. They are Assembly Coffee out of London.

Here’s a little bit about them and their philosophy: “Assembly is a London-based coffee roasting company, which recognises independent cafes as an invaluable source of insight into the coffee drinkers they serve. We work in collaboration with the owners and operators of independent cafes to offer coffees of uncompromising quality and to develop forward thinking approaches to café culture.”

That’s the kind of roaster we like to work with, a company that shares our passion for the very best in specialty coffee. We have their full range of espressos and filters in Joe’s in Arnotts on Liffey Street and on Montague Street, just near Stephen’s Green. For more on the beans go here: https://www.assemblycoffee.co.uk/shop/

Another special thing about Assembly is their packaging. As you can see from the photo, the beans come in really beautiful packages. The guys at Sprudge featured them recently too: http://sprudge.com/nice-package-assembly-coffee-in-london-123203.html

Drop in and grab a bag.

Thanks.

Born in The Barn

We have some gorgeous new beans in from The Barn Berlin. They are in our Dublin speciality coffee shops in Arnotts on Liffey Street in Dublin 1 and in our cafe on Montague Street in Dublin 2 near Stephen’s Green.

We have:

La Bandera: a honey-processed Costa Rican which is now our house espresso. Tasting: Macadamia nut. White honey. Smooth.

“The cup has a wonderful texture with a creamy mouth-feel. Tastes of macadamia nut and white honey. The sweetness is supported by a pleasant red apple acidity. La Bandera is located in the Tarrazu Valley where one can find some of the finest coffees of the country. The climate and the volcanic soil offer perfect growing conditions. An elevation of between 1,850-1,950 metres gives the cup its uniqueness.”

Santa Rosa 1900: This Costa Rican filter is new to the Barn, but the farm it’s from always produces such gorgeous coffee. Tasting: Plum. Caramel. Rich.

“Santa Rosa 1900 is a showcase for the superior processing methods in Costa Rica. The Catuai varietal has a great taste profile matching the rich, volcanic soil of this farm. It also has high yield and strong disease resistence. The farm´s micro-climate and the shade tree plantation lead to slow maturing. The result is great sweetness and cup-complexity of this coffee. This cup has flavours of plum and caramel. It has a rich mouth-feel and fantastic sweetness. The acidity gives this coffee a great texture and a long-lasting aftertaste.

El Durazno: This Guatemalan filter is one of the Barn’s standout coffees. Tasting: White Grape. Peach. Soft.

“Misael Rodriguez is a traditional coffee grower in the region of Huehuetenango. He utilizes simple and common techniques both in his coffee plantation and in the processing. It is through his dedication and passion that he obtains such a high quality. The result is a fine intense acidity, a full body and delightful wine notes present in the cup. Flavours of white grapes and fruity peaches combined with its clean finish make this coffee enjoyable all day long.”

Nano Challa: This Ethiopian filter is another coffee that has been tasting truly beautiful in previous seasons. Tasting: Nectarine. Jasmine. Luscious.

“Nano Challa is one of our best Ethiopian coffees year after year. Located in the Gera District of Western Oromia where large tracts of pristine forests remain and coffee trees grow wild. This coffee is extremely clean, sweet and balanced. Rich flavours of nectarine, vanilla and jasmine hit your taste buds right away. Almost perfumey like an aphrodisiac you won´t be able to keep your hands off this coffee. Nano Challa has been supported by TechnoServed, backed by the Gates Foundation. This NGO helps with advice, education and financing to build washing stations. By producing higher quality –  washed – coffees Nano Challa was able to access the international specialty coffee market. Their coffees are absolutely stunning and represent the full potential of what the region’s indigenous beans could taste like.”

All superb and worth tasting!

Thanks.

NEWS FROM THE COFFEE FRONT

We are delighted to announce that our Dublin 2 speciality coffee shop on Montague Street is now open on Sundays from 10am-4pm. Located just off Harcourt Street and close to St Stephen’s Green, it is the perfect city centre location for grabbing a speciality coffee and a pastry on a Sunday morning.

COLD BREWS

It’s that time of year again: it’s getting warmer and we’re seeing more of that fine Irish sun. Even if it comes and goes! It also means it’s time to roll out some of our speciality iced coffees . . . and this year we have some really special brews to share with you

First we have a cold-brewed filter coffee which is a 24 hour cold infusion. We use a Tanzanian Majinja filter coffee for that. We also have a cold brew cascara and hibiscus infusion, similar to the normal cold brew; it is also a 24-hour cold infusion made from the coffee cherries. These are both served in bottles and you’ll find them stored in our fridges.

This year we’ve also gone a little bit further and are offering five new speciality iced coffees at the bar. They are:
Affogato: two scoops of vanilla ice cream with an espresso on top

Shakerato: espresso and sugar shaken with plenty of ice and strained into a martini-like glass

Lavender Honey Iced Latte: a cold latte with plenty of ice and sweetened with lavender-infused honey

Vietnamese Latte: espresso and condensed milk shaken with ice (sweet and rich)

Iced Cascara Sling: the hibiscus cascara infusion with some lime juice/zest and sugar syrup served in tall glass on plenty of ice.

We hope you love them.
