We took a different approach from usual, instead of pushing development purely for sweetness, we roasted more gently to preserve the producer’s original expression. The result is still sweet, but with more nuance and complexity beyond just brown sugar, highlighting fruitiness as well.
The result? A deep, sweet brown sugar pastries aroma, supported by dates sweetness and a smooth honey finish when it's cools. The tanginess remind us about Manuka honey. Rich, fruity, and comforting.

If the brew takes longer than 2:30, adjust for a coarser grind size;
if it brews too quickly, adjust for a finer grind size.
We always try to bring out more sweetness from the coffee in our cup. Remember, if your cup has a long, bitter finish, you're likely over extracting your coffee, so you can dial it in by going a little coarse on the grind size or decreasing the temperature of your brewing water. Always aim for a Bettr brew each day!
