Taking Trinidad & Tobago coffee into a new realm.
At the 5 June, 2016 Trinidad UpMarket event held at The Woodbrook Youth Facility, Roastel Coffee’s “Harmony” blend was introduced. The local artisan/craft markets always offer a great opportunity to get immediate feedback on new and developing products.
We honestly did not know what the response would be to this variegated coffee with a wild taste profile.
By midday, Harmony was sold out. The response was overwhelming, we imagine due to the unique look of the coffee and the strong presence of local T&T coffee beans. This is clearly evident of a renewed “buy local” trend.
Roasting our own coffee has created opportunities to develop roasts and blends previously unheard of in Trinidad and Tobago coffee culture. We have achieved tremendous range with this flavour profile by delicately contrasting a lightly roasted Peruvian bean with a dark roasted Rio Claro Robusta. With the aim of using as much local content as we can, we’re moving full steam ahead in our journey to provide fresh, premium coffee and to create a new wave, coffee culture in our lovely T&T.
