Creole Blend
Creole Blend is one of our best sellers and has been a frequent feature of our daily roasting schedule from the very early years of our business.
Created by Harold Higgins in the 1950s, this blend was designed for customers who were asking for stronger, darker blends but without any harsh bitterness or acidity.
Creole Blend is a mixture of South American beans from Colombia and Brazil, roasted dark to produce a coffee that is powerful, rich and very smooth.
With notes of dark chocolate and rich cacao, this blend has become very popular as an after-dinner coffee, but the refreshing blackberry finish makes it perfect for all occasions.
Santiago Blend
Created in the 1960s by Mr Tony, our Santiago Blend was born of a desire for stronger, more powerful coffees.
We blend beans from Costa Rica and Colombia to create a high quality, rich coffee which is perfect for after dinner or as a strong breakfast coffee.
Our Santiago Blend has a natural sweetness, with notes of vanilla, caramelised sugar and dark chocolate. It has a gentle acidity with zero bitterness.

International Coffee Day: A Story That Continues
“At its beginning H.R.Higgins (Coffee-man) had to be wholesale only because, as my father says in his diary, you couldn’t expect retail customers to climb up five flights of stairs.”
