Get ready for something fresh…

Speciality coffee has so much more to offer than the over-roasted, homogenous beans you’ll get in high street coffee shop chains. Think of the difference between great-quality wine and a bottle of plonk.

Like the grapes behind the finest wines, there’s lots more complexity in the natural flavours of the finest coffee beans. And over time, you’ll discover plenty of it.

A whole new world of taste

Absolutely everything you’ll discover from our coffee is natural. But it can all differ massively – and this is what makes it all the more fascinating to the many speciality experts worldwide.

When you’re getting to grips with a wide range of roasts, processing methods, and countries on our menu, you’ll find everything from the indulgent, chocolatey, and creamy to the bright, zesty, and blackcurranty.

There’s plenty to sink your teeth into here. So, to introduce you, all Pact coffees are grouped within four distinct flavour profiles.

The four flavour profiles

Chocolate
This is where most coffee drinkers begin with speciality coffee. It might be similar to the coffee you know and love already – with plenty of extra quality.

Chocolate Fruit
These are like our chocolatey coffees, but with added complexity from fruity flavours. Think of milk or dark chocolate with different red and black fruits.

Fruit
This is where you might be completely surprised by what coffee can offer. The roasts that fit in this category offer everything from guava and raspberry to orchard fruits.

Fruit Floral
With these coffees, you’ll enjoy hints of things lavender, honey, peach blossom, and much more amongst fruity flavours.
