By The Bay Light Roast
Light Roast · Three-Origin Blend · Espresso, Filter & Cold Brew · 1kg
Bright, smooth and perfectly balanced — a light roast bursting with citrus, bergamot and berry-like acidity, finished with a subtle nutty sweetness.
By The Bay is our brightest, most fruit-forward blend — light, fruity and acidic, with floral citrus notes of bergamot, lime and orange layered over a berry-like acidity. Underneath, a nutty, subtly sweet base of milk chocolate and light cocoa keeps the cup smooth and balanced rather than sharp.
The body is smooth and syrupy rather than thin, which is what makes By The Bay work equally well as a bright morning espresso, a clean pour-over, or a refreshing cold brew — deliciously smooth with a perfectly balanced, citrus-forward flavour.
