DARK HORSE BLEND

Dark Horse is an arabica & robusta blend that was made to be our boldest and heaviest coffee. It was made for those looking for that old-school coffee taste they grew up with back in the day. The dark roast brings out a robust dark chocolate note with a plesant bitternss in the aftertste. The body has a heavy mouthfeel and the floral nuances in the aroma help balance all those deep caramelized flavors. The best part about this coffee is that it is able to maintain its rich profile as an espresso or in milk-based drinks like cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites.

RADICAL TRANSPARENCY

KNOW YOUR LOT

Every number — and every note — behind this coffee, published. Tap a metric to see what it means and why it matters.

Origins

Where this coffee comes from

Malawi brings a lesser-known East African coffee heritage, while Uganda has a long-established and deeply rooted coffee culture. Together, they showcase the diversity and growing potential of African coffee origins.

Region

Where within the origin it was grown

Rumphi in northern Malawi is an established coffee-growing region known for its mountainous terrain and distinctive coffees, while Masaka in southern Uganda contributes its own unique regional character. Together, they bring two different East African origins into this coffee.

Producer

Who grew or produced this coffee

This blend is crafted in-house by The Brew Crew, bringing together carefully selected coffees to create a profile that is intentional, balanced, and distinctly our own.

Variety

The coffee variety grown / What this blend is made from

This coffee combines multiple coffee varieties rather than a single variety, allowing the characteristics of each to come together and shape the final cup.

Altitude

How high this coffee was grown

The coffees in this blend are grown across elevations of 1,200–1,500 metres above sea level, reflecting the different growing environments of the two components.

Process

How the coffee was processed after harvest

In natural processing, coffee cherries are dried whole with the fruit still surrounding the seed. This extended contact with the fruit often produces sweeter, fruit-forward flavours and a fuller, more expressive cup.

Roast Level

How far we developed the roast

A dark roast brings greater intensity and body to the cup, with deeper roasted and caramelised flavours taking centre stage. It’s ideal for those who prefer a bold, rich and full-flavoured coffee.

Preferred Extraction

How we think this coffee shines best

Best extracted as espresso, where its sweetness, body, and intensity can shine through in a concentrated cup. Its fuller profile also makes it an excellent choice for milk-based drinks.

Behind the Coffee

A RETURN TO CLASSIC COFFEE

Blends have always been a core aspect in coffee roasteries around the world. These products allow roasters to showcase their knowledge and expertise in a single cup by blending roast profiles, origins, plant varieties, etc. Most importantly, all this is done with a specific goal in mind. In our case. we want to take a small detour from light, complex single-origins specialty coffee of the modern age, and go back in the past to dark, bold classic coffees. The UAE coffee market is huge and there are a lot of people who don't necessarily want funky and acidic flavors but still want high-quality coffee.

We knew Arabica & Robusta blend was the way to go for intense flavor and strong body. The diffcultiy was in choosing which arbaica coffee to pair with the robusta. Brazilan coffee was great but very one-dimensional in terms of notes, we wanted to add an appreciable nuance to the coffee. That's when we decided Malawi was the way to go, it had the smooth dark chocolate with a hint of florality that was needed. During our trial phase, this coffee was a hit. We are really excited to show a different side to The Brew Crew to you. This coffee is our bold heavy hitter and will always be on the menu.
