ABOUT
A 50/50 blend of Sitio Da Torre from Brazil and Altamira de Chirripó from Costa Rica, Choc Ice is all about texture. Purposefully roasted to shine as a cold coffee, it delivers the perfect balance between straight-up delicious espresso and cold brews, making it the must-have summer staple for your espresso rotation.
A favourite on our annual Brazil line-up, Sitio da Torre from Minas Gerais, Brazil, is produced by Alvaro Coli. A dedicated member of COCARIVE, Alvaro began his speciality coffee journey in 2000 at the cooperative in Mantiqueira de Minas. His commitment quickly led to awards and success in the Cup of Excellence (CoE). This Yellow Bourbon lot reflects his innovative approach to coffee, capturing his philosophy: "Let me try a little bit, and we'll see; why not?"
To amplify the rich chocolate crunch and texture of the Sitio Da Torre, Altamira de Chirripó, from MICEPA Micromill in Costa Rica, represents the work of the extended Ureña, Bourbon, and Araya families. One of our favourite seasonal coffees, it contributes a sweet, creamy hazelnut base that keeps us coming back for more.
