Old Spike coffee roasters

The Roasters

Based in Peckham, South East London, Old Spike are the Uk's first social enterprise whose mission is to help reduce homelessness in the UK through training and employment in specialty coffee.

Coffee Name

Old Spike x Rise Blend, Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua

The Coffee

This washed coffee has been especially created for Rise! The Colombian element brings a hint of fruitiness and mellow sweetness from the traditional Colombian terroir. The Honduran element is sourced from a Bird friendly program, an initiative that supports biodiversity in the local community, this part offers raisin-caramel notes. Finally, the Nicaraguan Coffee from Finca La Aurora is cultivated using only renewable energy and with special care in the conservation of water resources. The farm houses a variety of native trees that provide the plantation with shade and fertilize the soil with organic matter, which protects the land from erosion, droughts, and floods.

Origin:

Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua

Altitude:

1800 masl

Process:

Washed

Tasting notes: 

Red Apple, Toffee, biscuits

Brew Tips: 

For this coffee we would recommend brewing it with a lower temperature water. If you have a precision kettle, set it up at 88 degrees, and if not, leave the water to cool for 1 minute before pouring to reduce the temperature. This will ensure that you are extracting the flavour in a gentle way, giving a sweeter and more balanced cup!

Why we like it: 

We found this coffee to be sweet and balanced with a caramel and toffee base!

3rd box!

I’m on my 3rd box already and I’ve not even been subscribed for 2 months yet…that’s how much I love coffee! The coffee I’ve been getting in each box have so far been amazing…although, I’ve not had any free chocolates in any box yet (for whoever said we did) 😂

Bought this for a friend and they LOVED it!

Just a quick thank you to RISE as my friend loved their rise subscription box that I gifted them for their birthday. It had great coffee they hadn't tried before and lots of treats and extras! I originally planned to do it for 3 months but ended up keeping it active for 6 months for them!
