Create your own coffee blend pack.
£15.00 – £16.50
Blend your own coffee using three single origin coffees from Brazil, Peru and Rwanda.
A blend is a combination of coffees varying in areas, altitudes and processes. A blend needs to be balanced, while producing complexity of flavor.
Everyone has different tastes and preferences when it comes to coffee. So why not create your own unique ‘Adra’ coffee blend for you to enjoy.
Bag 1 – (100g Brazil coffee) This is the ‘Adra’ bag which you will fill up, it has 100g of Brazil in it, this will be your base. This bag can hold 200g of coffee!
Bag 2 – (100g Peru coffee) The nutty one! These are small bags!
Bag 3 – (100g Rwanda coffee) The fruity one! This one is also a small bag!
Bag 4 – More (100g Brazil coffee) The same as your Adra bag, this allows you to taste it and add more to your final ‘Adra’ bag if you wish! And this one is a small bag too!
Tip: Use these 3 small bags to taste separately initially, then blend them together, make notes about the ones you have sampled, blended and preferred.

Don’t worry it isn’t an exact science but by making notes it will help you remember the combination you liked. When you have found the right blend, fill up your ‘Adra’ bag with the ratios you have experimented with.
Whichever method you are using to brew follow the recommended brewing guidelines or look at our table for recommended brewing suggestions.
To make a cafetiere we recommend using 6g of coffee per 100ml, a teaspoon holds 5g of coffee, allow a cafetiere to brew for 4 minutes.
For a more chocolaty coffee add more Brazil (Bag 1), for a nutty edge add the Peru (Bag 2) and maybe some Rwandan (Bag 3) to add some fruity notes! Your Adra (Bag 1) will have some chocolaty notes as it contains 100g of Brazil coffee.
Only use 20g of coffee whilst sampling (taste testing) your coffee! Remember 20g is only 4 teaspoons full. 20g of coffee is plenty for a 300ml cafetière!
Ffa Da have tasted and tested 20g of coffee, 12g = Brazil (Bag 1) (just over 2 teaspoons full) 5g = Peru (Bag 2) (a teaspoon full), 3g = Rwanda (Bag 3) (less than a teaspoon) remember to mix your blended coffee well, DELISH!!!!
