Why It’s On Our Shelves
A smooth, balanced Tanzanian coffee with notes of toffee, butterscotch and blackcurrant
Produced in Norfolk by Norfolk Coffee Co→
1549 Signature Coffee is the flagship coffee from Norfolk Coffee Company, expertly roasted in Norfolk using carefully selected Bourbon coffee beans from the renowned Kifaru Estate in northern Tanzania.
Grown on the fertile slopes surrounding the Ngorongoro Crater, not far from Mount Kilimanjaro, this Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee benefits from exceptional growing conditions that help create a rich, sweet and beautifully balanced cup.
Expect comforting notes of toffee and butterscotch alongside subtle hints of blackcurrant, delivering a coffee that is approachable enough for everyday drinking while offering plenty of character for coffee enthusiasts.
Roasted to a medium profile, the beans are carefully developed to enhance sweetness and body while preserving the delicate fruit notes that make this coffee distinctive. The result is a versatile coffee that shines as an espresso yet performs equally well in a cafetière, filter brewer or stovetop coffee maker.
