Origin

The world’s largest coffee producer, Brazil has huge influence in the global coffee market. Although producing more than a third of the world’s coffee, the growing conditions here can be challenging; producers not only have to manage the lower-than-optimal altitudes and non-volcanic soils, but also extreme climate conditions, from drought, to frost. Typically low in acidity, sweet, and heavy-bodied, Brazillian coffee is often easily distinguished and well-loved thanks to its approachable, desirable notes of chocolate and nuts.

“Stronghold is what I would describe as a classic espresso coffee. Bold and rich, with a real syrupy body that tastes great black or with milk. It’s roasted slightly darker too, delivering a more traditional flavour. A great starting point for brewing speciality coffee at home."
Freda Yuan, 3x UK Cup Tasting Champion
Director of Coffee

    Nice bold change

    Ordered Stronghold (beans) as a change to my normal Resolute subscription.

    Really please I did - it's lovely and bold but without being harsh, and a lovely change.

    Gives me another option when checking my monthly subscription ahead of delivery.
