Full bodied with velvety cooked caramel aromas, chocolate and a hint of cherry.
Beans for our Old Fort blend come from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms in Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil and India. The Indian Beans (20%) are Grade A Robusta, delivering an Italian style rich and chocolatey coffee.
Old Fort is named after the "Fort of Maryborough" built in the 16th century in the centre of where Portlaoise now stands. Part of the walls and a corner tower still stands and a fantastic 3 day festival happens every year in the Old Fort Quarter. Surely that deserves a coffee blend to be named after it too :)
Hand Roasted in Ireland
Hand roasting is a mix of art and science. Our Master Roaster watches over the roasting beans, making on-the-spot decisions about load size, temperature, air flow and roasting time to bring out the best flavours for you to enjoy.
Rainforest Alliance Certified
The Rainforest Alliance only certifies sustainable coffee farms who protect biodiversity as well as the health and well-being of workers. They promote gender equity and access to education for children in farming communities around the world.
Recyclable Packaging
Every part of our packaging is recyclable, including the resealable zipper and the one way valve which keeps your coffee beans fresh to preserve all those delicious flavours.
