MONT58 The Big 5 Blend: Five Origins, One Bold Cup

This blend is a celebration of Africa’s finest coffee terroir. Crafted from five of the continent's most highly regarded origins, it is a complex, satisfying brew with a distinctive finish. Each cup delivers deep notes of Dark Chocolate, balanced with a Nutty Smoothness, and lifted by hints of ripe Plum and Sweet Cherry. Full-bodied yet beautifully layered, it is the perfect coffee for those who enjoy complexity and strength.

Origin & Composition: The Heart of Africa

The name "The Big 5" references the five most highly valued origins from Africa, where coffee cultivation is a deep-rooted tradition. This blend is a unique combination of traceable, speciality-grade beans from these diverse terrains:

The Blend: The likely component origins include the floral Ethiopia (for Fragrance/Cherry), the zesty Kenya (for acidity/Plum), the smooth Uganda and Tanzania (for body/nutty smoothness), and a rich bean from Rwanda or Burundi (for structure/chocolate).
The Terroir: All components are high-grown African Arabicas, benefiting from the region's rich volcanic soils and extreme altitudes (often 1,500 to 2,200 metres above sea level). This results in dense beans with concentrated sweetness and high complexity.
The Varietals: The blend encompasses classic African heirloom varietals, including Ethiopian Heirloom, Kenyan SL-28/34, and Central African Bourbon, ensuring a rich spectrum of flavour.

Processing & Quality Control: Layered Complexity

The complexity of this blend is a result of intentionally combining beans processed using different methods to achieve a beautifully layered flavour.

Dual Processing: The blend utilises both the Natural Process (for the intense, syrupy Plum and Cherry notes) and the Fully Washed Process (for the clean Dark Chocolate and smooth mouthfeel).
The Roasting Goal: The Medium-Dark Roast is meticulously controlled to deepen the Dark Chocolate and Nutty notes while carefully preserving the delicate fruit flavours, ensuring the blend is full-bodied yet beautifully layered.
Quality Assurance: Each component of The Big 5 is sourced as Speciality Grade, guaranteeing that only the finest, defect-free beans contribute to the final smooth, high-intensity cup.

Recommended Brew Methods

The Medium-Dark roast and full body of this African blend make it exceptionally versatile, performing well in methods that balance its power and its nuanced fruit notes.

Espresso: Use a Fine grind (Optimal Method). The blend is tailored for a brilliant, powerful shot that retains its fruity edge. It is perfect for both black espresso and cutting through milk for a luxurious Flat White.

French Press (Cafetière): Use a Coarse grind and steep for 4-5 minutes. This immersion method enhances the full body and maximises the comforting Dark Chocolate and Nutty smoothness.

Pour-Over (V60, Chemex): Use a Medium grind to showcase the Plum and Cherry complexity. The Pour-Over method highlights the clarity and the blend's beautifully layered structure.

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.
