Babylonstoren Coffee
Stellenbosch
If you've ever been to Babylonstoren, just outside Stellenbosch in the Western Cape, you'll know that there is a meticulous attention to detail in everything that they do. From the myriad of beautiful gardens to the incredible vegetables and fruit grown on the farm. Babylonstoren pride themselves on beauty and diversity, fine food and wine, and more recently...coffee roasting!
The relatively new team of Austin and Robert roast on a Genio roaster and in their very first year of roasting in A Shot in the Dark 2024, not only placed 7th overall, but WON the cupping Challenge! Under the guidance of Lize Theunissen, the team has thrived and the proof is in their roasting!
The Babylonstoren blend is a meticulous combination of four different beans that make up this delightful profile. The medium to dark coffee is full bodied with flavours of dark chocolate and caramel and only the slightest fruitiness to balance the richness. Expect flavours of dark chocolate, brown bread and toffee.
We enjoyed this coffee best as an espresso and a double ristretto with a little bit of steamed milk. The perfect way to start a chily autumn morning!
