April xPods
April is upon us with returning roaster Nylon Coffee and first-time comers Bettr Coffee, an eclectic blend of social enterprise meets coffee and best known for the de facto institution for coffee certification courses in Singapore and the region.
We love the stories and the long-term relationships forged between Nylon Coffee and the producers they work with. It’s also because of the understanding of the terroire where the coffee is grown in and what shows up on the cupping table that eventually makes it halfway around the world (of course, passing the quality control duo of Dennis and Jiamin).
This month, they’ve chosen to highlight their subscription coffee – a fruity Brazilian coffee from Nossa Senhora Aparecida, Sao Paulo. We loved that explanation on Nylon Coffee’s own description outlier that really speaks for itself, “this coffee is a good example of how we feel that we should never stereotype coffees from any origins, just like this coffee which is tasting very fruity, in contrasts to what many might assume a coffee from Brazil to taste like.”
This coffee will make sure to get you rethink about what it means as a traditional Brazilian coffee. If this is what the future holds for coffees, sign us up for it any day.
Over to Bettr Coffee.
Euphoria is the choice of coffee they’ve chosen to best represent and if we can best describe the cup, the Ethiopian florals meet the smoky, bold flavours of the Indonesian coffee. For those who’ve had this exact coffee on espresso before, you’ll be no stranger to it and we love the balance the blend brings while keeping it affordable and versatile enough to be used towards espresso as well. Grinding coarse and brewing tighter ratios would be the best bet in getting the best possible cup here.
