The Journey of Continental Coffee Beans
Despite its name, Continental Coffee’s story doesn’t begin in Europe, but rather in the lush landscapes of Brazil and Honduras in South and Central America. Here, skilled workers carefully harvest and sort the finest coffee beans, before sending them on a remarkable voyage to us.
Upon arrival, we roast these beans using our cutting-edge Neuhaus Neotec fluidised air-bed system. This advanced technology ensures each batch delivers unparalleled consistency and preserves the extraordinary quality that sets our Coffee apart.
The roasting process is a transformative and crucial stage – this is where the character of the beans comes to life. Dark roasted coffee undergoes temperatures between 350°F and 400°F, which brings out the beans’ distinctive shine, added oils, and deep, rich colouring. It’s no wonder this preparation method is beloved by continental Europeans and coffee enthusiasts worldwide.
The Flavour Profile
The exceptional flavour of Continental Coffee is what sets it apart, offering a bold and robust character that captivates the senses. The meticulous dark-roasting process plays a vital role in shaping its rich profile, unveiling a perfectly balanced medley of caramel, chocolate, sweet nut, and stone fruit notes.
This full-bodied brew is intricately layered, delivering a multifaceted experience that lingers luxuriously on the palate. Every sip is a celebration of the precision and artistry that define expertly roasted coffee.
Caffeine in Continental Coffee
A key question for many customers is whether Continental Coffee contains caffeine – and the answer is a resounding yes. With approximately 100mg of caffeine per serving, this blend is ideal for those seeking an energising boost to tackle the day ahead.
What’s more, ongoing research suggests that caffeine consumption may contribute to several health benefits, from enhancing cognitive function to improving physical performance. While further studies are necessary to uncover its full potential, Continental Coffee already serves as a perfect intersection of pleasure and practicality.
Continental Coffee is more than just a beverage – it is a crafted experience that combines flavour, quality, and purpose. From its meticulously roasted beans to its energising caffeine content, this blend offers a satisfying and invigorating cup for coffee enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.
Whether you’re starting your day, taking a midday break, or enjoying a quiet moment, Continental Coffee promises to elevate every sip. We invite you to savour the unparalleled richness and discover why it is truly in a league of its own.
