Brazier's Coffee Roasters are based in the historic Fox's Tonedale Mill in Wellington, just around the corner from BakeryBits is a fast growing artisanal coffee roaster with a wide range of fine coffees in their own restaurant.
Brazier's flagship coffee blend Altitude uses a selection of fresh crop single origin coffee beans. The high proportion of natural-processed coffee creates its characteristic boozy qualities. A lighter roast style ensures fine, crisp acidity and sweetness.
Altitude Blend is made up of Brazilian, Rwandan and Ethiopian coffees, however the exact blend varies over the year to ensure that the best and freshest harvest possible is used. The beans are roasted in batches and it takes about 15 minutes to reach the desired 'drop' temperature for this blend of 206C.
Much like wine grapes, coffee beans come in many varietals or cultivars each with their own unique characteristics. In this "Altitude" blend we mainly use a cultivar called Bourbon, an early mutation of the more ubiquitous Typica strain that is prized for its excellent flavour. However it does produce lower yields and is susceptible coffee leaf rust and for this reason it commands a premium price.
