Browse larger bags across active WACC ranges, including selected speciality coffees, blends, decaf and flavour-led options where the 1kg whole-bean format is available. Whole beans give you more control over grind size, while 1kg bags make sense for busy kitchens, offices, shared households and anyone with a steady daily routine.

Guatemala adds brightness and lift, the acidity and complexity that stop the blend from feeling flat. India completes the frame: the Indian component includes a measure of Robusta alongside Arabica (a classic Italian espresso-blending technique), delivering crema, weight, and a background spice note that holds the blend together under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChocolate, almond, soft stone fruit, hints of spice. Rich without being heavy. Sweet without needing sugar. Roasted medium so the blend stays in its flavour-first lane: no roast bitterness to mask the origin character beneath. Acidity 4\/10.

A 1:2 ratio gives the full cup profile. AeroPress works well for a concentrated, espresso-style result.

Origin coffees change with each harvest, which means the cup changes. A blend lets us hold the same cup profile year-round by adjusting component ratios as lots change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy three origins?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each does something different. Brazil contributes body and chocolate sweetness. Guatemala brings brightness. India adds crema and weight. Remove any one and the balance shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this contain Robusta?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Indian component includes Robusta alongside Arabica, a deliberate and classic espresso-blending technique.
