The Catford Roast Blend: Diverse, Forward-Thinking & Fun

Our local roast perfectly reflects the vibrant character of Catford: Diverse, forward-thinking, aspirational, and fun! Roasted to a true Medium level, this blend delivers a complex sweetness, balancing comforting Chocolate and Caramel with a refreshing lift of Cherry and Plum. It's the perfect everyday brew for South East London.

Flavour Profile & Roast Details

A complex, vibrant, and approachable profile with fruit, sweetness, and chocolate depth.

Taste Notes: Caramel, Cherry, Chocolate, Plum
Roast Level: Medium
Strength: 3 out of 5

Origin & Blend Composition: The Flavour Blueprint

To achieve this specific, multi-layered flavour profile, this blend is carefully crafted using Speciality Grade Arabica beans from two key growing continents:

South/Central America (For the Base): Beans from countries like Colombia or Brazil provide the rich, comforting backbone of Chocolate and Caramel. These are known for their well-balanced acidity and smooth body, essential for an excellent everyday coffee.
Africa (For the Brightness): Beans from regions like Ethiopia or Uganda contribute the vibrant, fruit-forward notes of Cherry and Plum. African coffees, especially those grown at high altitudes, naturally express these 'stone fruit' flavours and a clean, refreshing acidity.

Farming Process & Bean Quality

This blend's complexity relies on integrating beans with complementary processing methods:

Farm Selection: The beans are sourced from various smallholder farms or co-operatives known to Mont58 for their consistent quality and ethical practices. The focus is on traceability to ensure the farmers are supported.

Processing Diversity:
- Washed Process (For Clarity): The base beans (e.g., Latin American) are often fully washed to ensure a clean cup that showcases the natural Caramel and Chocolate sweetness.
- Natural or Honey Process (For Fruitiness): The beans contributing the Cherry and Plum notes (e.g., African) have likely been processed using the Natural (dry) or Honey (pulped natural) method. This leaves the fruit pulp on the bean during drying, allowing the fruit sugars to infuse the seed, creating those sought-after jammy and fruity flavours.

The Roast: The Medium Roast is the key to this blend. It is light enough to preserve the bright, complex Cherry and Plum notes while developing the Caramel and Chocolate base without any harsh bitterness.

Recommended Brew Methods

The balanced Medium Roast profile makes the Catford Blend truly versatile, perfect for filter methods that highlight the fruit, and strong enough for espresso.

Pour-Over (V60, Chemex) - Medium: This is the ideal method to highlight the complexity. The clean extraction beautifully showcases the Cherry and Plum notes.

Filter / Batch Brew - Medium: An excellent, consistent choice that balances the Caramel sweetness and the Chocolate depth, making it an easy all-day drinker.

Aeropress - Medium Fine: Use a slightly longer steep time (approx. 90 seconds) to create a fuller body that accentuates the blend's comforting Chocolate richness.

About The Roastery

Mont58 Coffee is the passion project of husband-and-wife team, Shai and Maya. Their journey began quite literally at home in 2018, when they took the plunge and jacked in their full-time jobs to start roasting coffee in a humble garden shed in South-East London. Shai, whose passion for coffee was sparked by childhood memories of drinking cardamom-spiced coffee with his grandfather, honed his craft on a tiny 250g machine.

This small-batch venture quickly took off, especially during the lockdown when the local community wholeheartedly embraced their door-to-door, bike-delivered coffee.

While they have since scaled up to a larger roastery in Ashford, Kent, and opened further sites, the spirit of that original shed, small business, big heart, remains central to their award-winning, ethical, and community-focused mission. It's a proper 'started from the ground up' success story, but with significantly better beans.
