Dreambeans Coffee - Rising Tide Medium Grind

Full-bodied coffee with an upfront burst of flavour.
Not just for sea-swimmers!

As the water got colder and the winds grew sharper, we soon started demanding more than just great taste from our post-swim coffee. We needed something with enough of a caffeine kick to get us moving again before our fingers and toes fell off and we needed something with an immediate burst of flavour to cut through the salt and get our taste buds working again. We also wanted a coffee we could drink either with milk or without, because some days heating up milk to bring in a flask is too much hassle and we need all the heat we can get so we never use cold milk after a swim.

Nothing delivers base strength and silky smoothness like strictly high grown Mandheling beans from Sumatra so this was a great starting point. We added some beautiful clean, bright, Yirgacheffe beans from Ethiopia to give the coffee more bite and to bring the flavour forward in the profile. A Segovian from Nicaragua complimented the length and added some sweetness in the finish without crowding out the Mandheling. A final seven percent of our favourite Brazilian brought the whole thing home. It’s terrific coffee and it’s great anywhere.

Created for sea-swimmers, by sea-swimmers. When you really need a hot jolt after a cold swim, this coffee was will get you going. Fantastic taste, great body and a decent caffeine kick. The rich, deep flavour of the strictly high-grown Mandheling beans from the volcanic soil of the Sumatran mountains combined with the silkiness of the body are the defining characteristics of this blend. The flavour is upfront and to the fore, it hits you right away. Absolute insistence on only the finest beans gives you a full-of-the-mouth taste and aroma that perks you up immediately. The Sumatran process, the Giling Basah, gives this coffee it’s great length, and the Segovian provides the consistency in the finish. A natural tendency towards sweetness in the finish is kept in check by the touch of citrus from the bright, medium roasted Yirgacheffe beans.
