Introducing The Gospel Blend—our award-winning, signature espresso blend that has captivated coffee lovers and baristas alike. In 2024, this exceptional blend earned a coveted 1-star Great Taste Award, and it’s easy to see why. Crafted for those who appreciate a more intriguing espresso, The Gospel Blend offers a symphony of flavours, with rich notes of chocolate and jammy, dried raisin-like fruitiness that linger on the palate.
This blend is a harmonious mix of two outstanding coffees. The first is a Peruvian gem from the farm of Elver Coronel, known for its deep, complex flavours. The second is a unique Nicaraguan coffee from Finca Santa Maria de Lourdes, a farm steeped in history and dedication. Owned by Octavio Peralta since 1970, this farm has overcome significant challenges, including serving as a war zone during the Sandinista uprising. After the area was cleared of mines by the UN in the late 1980s, Octavio began restoring coffee production in this wild, natural region. His commitment to preserving the environment is evident—half of the farm’s arable land is reserved exclusively for maintaining and enhancing the natural habitat, earning it a Rainforest Alliance certification.
The Nicaraguan coffee in The Gospel Blend undergoes a unique processing method: raised bed natural with extended anaerobic cherry fermentation. This meticulous process, combined with the care and expertise of the Peralta family, results in a coffee that is as complex as it is delicious. The Peraltas have a rich coffee-growing history dating back to the early 20th century, but it was only in 2008 that Julio and Octavio Peralta shifted their focus to developing unique specialty preparations. We’re proud to bring their microlots and special preparations to Europe, showcasing their dedication to specialty coffee innovation.
The Gospel Blend is perfect for espresso enthusiasts looking for something a bit more interesting. It’s a blend that not only shines in your favourite espresso drinks but also offers a delightful experience when brewed as a filter coffee. Whether you’re pulling a shot at home or enjoying it in your local café, this blend promises to elevate your coffee experience with its rich, layered flavours.
So, if you’re ready to explore the depths of a truly exceptional coffee, The Gospel Blend is your perfect companion. Discover why this blend is celebrated and bring a taste of award-winning excellence to your cup.
