About House / Blend

What is home? Home is that warm, fuzzy feeling. It's where you take off your 'big coat', put your feet up and chat about anything that pops into your head with people you love. It's saying "aaah" after a sip of your brew. Home is hugging your cuppa between tired hands, grasping onto hope and cosiness. Inviting. We've made our House a home. You're always welcome.

Every house has its own smell. Our House holds sweet scents of united roasts from Colombia and Brazil. Imagine them holding hands - dancing, singing and spinning - filling the room with colourful aromas. It's a parade of nuttiness and chocolate, with the sweetest kiss of caramel. Home sweet home.

Brewing recommendation

If you want to say “Woah, that’s a really good cuppa” then we suggest using your French Press. The French press method allows for full immersion brewing, which enhances the extraction of the coffee's natural oils and flavours, resulting in a rich, full-bodied cup.

Recipe:

  • Beans: 30 grams
  • Grind Size: Coarse
  • Water Temperature: 93°C (200°F)
  • Water Amount: 500 ml
  • Brew Time: 4 minutes

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your French press with hot water.
  2. Grind 30 grams of your house blend to a coarse consistency.
  3. Discard the preheating water and add the coffee grounds to the French press.
  4. Pour 500 ml of water at 93°C (200°F) over the grounds.
  5. Stir gently and cover with the plunger (do not press yet).
  6. Let it steep for 4 minutes.
  7. Slowly press the plunger down.
  8. Pour immediately and enjoy your rich, full-bodied coffee.
Coffee Care

Because our coffee is super fresh, we suggest you keep the packaging tightly closed or store it in an airtight container. Keep the coffee at room temperature (away from moisture) and consume within 1-2 weeks. If it even lasts that long around you, you lovely coffee guzzler.

About the producers

Mió is a coffee farm in Monte Santo de Minas, Brazil, specialising in the export, import, storage, and sale of speciality coffee. Harvested with meticulous care, Mió's coffee is grown on 1,589 hectares. One-third of the land is dedicated to coffee processing and milling facilities, pasture, and eucalyptus plantations that support bee habitats. The remaining land is equally divided between coffee trees and a native forest reserve, ensuring water quality and natural preservation.

Located between Southern Minas Gerais and the High Mogiana region, the farm benefits from two distinct terrains, contributing citric acidity and a full-bodied sweetness to Mió’s coffee. Mió guarantees 100% traceability for its crop each year, tracking every step with satellite imagery to ensure the highest standards and abundant harvests.

State-of-the-art facilities at Mió include a wet mill, concrete patios, raised beds, ambient-air drying machines, wood silos, cross-beater hullers, and a density separator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I let my coffee rest?

The optimal resting time for freshly roasted specialty coffee can vary depending on the brewing method. Here's a breakdown for filter and espresso:

Filter Coffee

  • Light Roasts: 10-14 days
  • Medium Roasts: 5-10 days
  • Dark Roasts: 1-5 days

For filter coffee, which includes methods like drip, pour-over, and French press, the flavors tend to be more delicate and nuanced. Allowing a bit more time for resting helps these subtleties to develop fully.

Espresso

  • Light Roasts: 14-21 days
  • Medium Roasts: 7-10 days
  • Dark Roasts: 1-5 days

Espresso brewing, due to its high pressure and short extraction time, can be more sensitive to CO2 levels. A longer rest period ensures the CO2 has adequately degassed, leading to a more stable crema and balanced shot.

Summary

  • Filter Coffee: Generally requires a shorter rest period, focusing on bringing out the lighter, more nuanced flavours.
  • Espresso: Benefits from a longer rest period to ensure proper degassing and to enhance crema and balance.

Remember, these are guidelines and personal taste preferences play a significant role. Experiment within these ranges to find the perfect rest time for your coffee.

What's the best way to store my coffee?
  • Sealed and Ambient: Always keep your coffee sealed in an airtight container and store it in an ambient environment to preserve its freshness.
  • Avoid Refrigeration: While lower temperatures can help prolong the life of coffee, do not store your coffee in the fridge. The moisture in the refrigerator accelerates the oxidation process, which diminishes the coffee's flavour.
How long can I store my coffee?

Freshly roasted specialty coffee retains its peak flavor and aroma for a limited time after roasting. When you receive your coffee, check the roasting date printed on the bag - it's your freshness indicator. To savour Wilby's at its best, consider these handy guidelines:

Whole Bean Coffee:

  • Optimal Freshness: Whole bean coffee is generally at its freshest within the first 2 to 4 weeks after roasting.
  • Use By: It is recommended to consume whole bean coffee within 2 to 3 months of the roast date for the best flavour.

Ground Coffee:

  • Optimal Freshness: Ground coffee starts to lose freshness more quickly due to increased surface area exposure to air.
  • Use By: Ground coffee is best consumed within 1 to 2 weeks of the roast date to enjoy the fullest flavour profile.

Storage Considerations:

  • Airtight Container: Store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture.
  • Avoid Refrigeration: While refrigeration might seem like a good idea, it can introduce moisture and lead to condensation on the beans, which accelerates staling.
What is a quality score?

A coffee cupping quality score is a standardised method to evaluate the attributes of a coffee sample. During a cupping session, various aspects such as aroma, flavour, acidity, body, and aftertaste are assessed and scored on a scale, typically from 0 to 100. This score helps determine the overall quality of the coffee, with higher scores indicating superior quality. Cupping scores are essential for identifying the best beans, guiding purchasing decisions, and providing valuable feedback to coffee producers.

Do you add flavourings to my coffee?

You'll notice that each of our coffees boasts its own unique tasting notes, and here's the best part - there are absolutely no added flavours or additives in our coffee. It's pure 100% Arabica beans.

When we talk about flavours, we're describing the delightful tastes we discern during our cupping sessions. These can range from hints of chocolate and orange to even notes reminiscent of sherbet! These flavours arise naturally from how the coffee is grown and processed.

How is House / Blend processed?

Experience the best of both worlds with our dual-processed coffee blend, featuring beans that undergo both natural and washed processing methods. The natural process infuses beans with intense, fruity flavours and natural sweetness by sun-drying them within the whole cherry, while the washed process enhances acidity and highlights intrinsic qualities by depulping and fermenting the beans in water.

This blend combines the robust, fruity flavours of naturally processed coffee with the clean, bright notes of washed coffee. The result is a harmonious balance of vibrant fruitiness and full body from the natural process, complemented by the crisp acidity and clean finish from the washed process. Enjoy tasting notes of berries, tropical fruits, citrus, floral hints, and a touch of caramel sweetness in this rich, well-rounded cup that celebrates the best characteristics of both methods.
