What This Coffee Tastes Like

First Light Blend is built for mornings that demand focus and momentum. This dark roast blend combines coffees from Brazil, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Indonesia to deliver a bold, full bodied cup with immediate impact.

Rich flavors of dark chocolate and caramel form the base, followed by deeper molasses sweetness and flashes of red fruit that keep the cup lively. The body is heavy, the finish is long, and the overall profile is designed to wake the palate and carry you through the start of the day.

This is a no hesitation morning coffee made for drip, French press, or a strong espresso when you need clarity and drive from the first cup.

Roast Profile

Dark Roast

Roasted dark to maximise depth and intensity, First Light Blend delivers a powerful opening cup with low acidity and a strong, grounding body. The darker roast amplifies chocolate richness and caramelised sugars while maintaining enough fruit character to avoid flatness.

Expect a bold, energising cup with lasting presence and a finish that stays with you well past the first sip.

Origin Details

Brazil

Regions: Cerrado Mineiro, Mogiana, Sul de Minas Processing: Natural Altitude: 900–1300 m Varietals: Catuaí, Caturra

Santos Brisa is sourced from Brazil’s core Arabica-growing regions, including Cerrado Mineiro, Mogiana, and Sul de Minas. These regions are known for stable climates, nutrient-rich soils, and consistent coffee production. Grown at elevations between 900 and 1300 metres, this coffee is naturally processed, with cherries dried whole under the sun to enhance body and sweetness. The result is a smooth, balanced cup with Brazil’s signature nutty and chocolate-forward character. Composed primarily of Catuaí and Caturra varieties, Santos-grade coffees are valued worldwide for their reliability, balance, and broad appeal across multiple roast styles.

Guatemala

Country: Guatemala Region: Zacatepequez Processing: Washed Altitude: ~1500 m Variety: Bourbon, Caturra, Pache, Typica

Coffees from Zacatepequez are grown in volcanic soil at moderate elevations, where stable conditions support even bean development. Washed processing enhances clarity and balance, producing coffees known for cocoa sweetness, clean acidity, and structured cups.

Costa Rica

Country: Costa Rica Region: Tarrazú Processing: Washed Altitude: 1400–1700 m Variety: Caturra, Catuai, Typica

Costa Rican coffees from Tarrazú are cultivated in mountainous terrain with rich volcanic soil and consistent climates. Washed processing is standard in the region, producing coffees known for their clarity, balance, and crisp acidity.

Indonesia

Country: Indonesia Region: Aceh, Sumatra Processing: Semi-washed (Giling Basah) Altitude: 1100–1600 m Variety: Typica, Tim Tim, Ateng

Sumatran coffees from the Aceh region are traditionally processed using the semi-washed method, locally known as Giling Basah. This processing style contributes to the region’s hallmark characteristics: low acidity, heavy body, and earthy, savoury flavour profiles valued for their depth and intensity.
