Wake The Dead - Limited Halloween Blend

A KILLER FIRST

We've never put a fermented coffee in a Killer blend. Until now. A fifth of Wake The Dead is a single coffee fermented with watermelon, and you can taste it. Sweet, fruity, and a bit like the lollies you'll be stealing from the kids' bags this Halloween.

WAIT, WHAT'S FERMENTED COFFEE?

Coffee beans start life as the seeds inside a small red fruit called a coffee cherry. Once the cherries are picked, the seeds have to be separated from the fruit and dried, and fermentation is a natural part of that process. It happens to almost every coffee you've ever had. Farmers control how long it runs and what it happens with, because that shapes how the coffee ends up tasting.

SO WHERE DOES THE WATERMELON COME IN?

For this coffee, the fermentation happens with watermelon. The beans sit and ferment alongside the fruit, soaking up its sweetness and flavour before they're dried. They arrive at our roastery as green coffee, already carrying that watermelon character, and we roast them here in Sydney.

DOESN'T A DARK ROAST KILL THE FRUIT?

Usually, yes. Dark roasting tends to flatten fruity flavours. This one holds on. At 20% of the blend, the watermelon comes through clearly on top of a dark, bold base, so you get the sweetness without losing the punch.

STILL KILLER

Sweet doesn't mean soft. Wake The Dead sits just behind Industrial Strength on the strength scale, and it's bitter free like the rest of the range. Your taste buds get the treat. Your 3pm slump gets buried.

THE FINE PRINT

• 1kg bags only
• Whole beans, ground espresso or ground plunger
• Tasting notes: Watermelon Cotton Candy | Haunting Acidity | Crippling Buttersweet Finish
• Limited run. When it's gone, it's buried.

No tricks. No mercy. Just seriously strong coffee.
