Coffee and chocolate have shared flavour notes, making them natural companions. Both are products of careful cultivation and craft, with a similar journey from bean to bar or cup. Enjoying them together is not only a sensory delight but a celebration of this shared journey.
Here's the low-down on how to pair our low-caf and decaf blends with chocolate:
Decaf Nolo and Chocolate Pairings
Our decaf blend, a spirited, smooth espresso with a full-bodied profile, is a treat on its own. Its predominant flavours of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and nutmeg-spiced pear form an inviting tasting experience. When it comes to chocolate, this blend pairs best with darker varieties, mirroring the complexity of the espresso.
- Dark Chocolate with Pear Filling: To echo the blend's pear notes, consider a piece of dark chocolate with a pear filling. This combo creates a harmonious fusion, highlighting the blend's rich, fruity undercurrents.
- Cinnamon-infused Dark Chocolate: Complement the blend's cinnamon touch with cinnamon-infused dark chocolate. The spicy warmth of the cinnamon elevates the dark chocolate notes of the coffee and adds an extra cozy feel to the tasting experience.
Our low-caf blend is a rich, complex coffee full of character. Its molasses and dark chocolate base, zesty fruit notes, and a hint of Bergamot create an invigorating flavour profile. It stands up well against robust and flavoured chocolates.
- Dark Chocolate with Cherry Pieces: The tangy-sweetness of the cherry pieces in dark chocolate enhances the blend's fruity notes, providing a multi-layered taste experience.
- Orange-infused Dark Chocolate: The citrusy sharpness of orange-infused dark chocolate aligns perfectly with the zesty notes of our low-caf blend. It's a refreshing and invigorating pairing that’s guaranteed to delight.
Our caffeine-conscious Nolo blends are ideal for late-evening sipping or eating. Enjoy a flavourful espresso after dinner, or use our coffee in your desserts, by making a delicious decaf tiramisu or mocha milkshake.
Bon appétit!
