Origin & Blend Composition

This blend is a masterfully crafted combination of speciality-grade Arabica beans sourced from key growing regions around the world. These beans are selected for their inherent characteristics that, when roasted and blended together, create the classic espresso profile you love.

Where it Came From: Espresso blends commonly feature high-quality Arabica beans from Central and South America (e.g., Brazil, Guatemala, and Colombia). These origins are known for providing the full body, low acidity, and natural sweetness (caramel and nut) that are essential for a perfect espresso shot.
The Blend's Purpose: The beans are strategically blended before roasting to achieve a consistent flavour profile year-round, ensuring the notes of Hazelnut, Caramel, and Cacao are always present, regardless of harvest fluctuations in any single origin.

Farming Process & Bean Quality

Mont58 is a certified B-Corporation committed to ethical and sustainable practices. This means the beans in this blend meet the highest standards for both quality and responsibility:

Quality: All beans used are Speciality Grade, meaning they have scored highly on the global grading scale, guaranteeing superior flavour and minimal defects.
The Process: To achieve the smooth, clean, and sweet notes of Caramel and Hazelnut, the beans are typically processed using the Washed or Pulped Natural method. These methods help to refine the raw fruit flavour, allowing the inherent sweetness and nuttiness of the high-quality beans to shine through in the final roast.
The Roast: The Medium-Dark roast level is expertly executed in small batches in the UK (Ashford, Kent). This level pushes the beans just far enough to develop rich, bold Cacao (dark chocolate) notes and a heavy body, without introducing bitterness or scorching the delicate caramel sweetness.

Recommended Brew Methods

This blend is an all-rounder designed to perform consistently under pressure, yet it remains versatile enough for other methods that favour a bold, full-bodied cup.

Espresso Machine - Fine (Optimal Method): Aim for a classic 1:2 brew ratio (e.g., 18g coffee in, 36g espresso out) in 25–30 seconds. This will produce a heavy, syrupy shot with a rich, persistent crema.

Moka Pot (Stovetop) - Medium Fine: A perfect stovetop alternative. Use hot water in the boiler section to prevent scorching the grounds, and remove from the heat as soon as the brew turns a honey-brown colour.

French Press (Cafetière) - Coarse: The full immersion method enhances the deep body and smooth Dark Chocolate/Cacao flavour. Steep for 4–5 minutes max to avoid over-extraction.

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.
