City Roast | Classic Blend

Blend of Arabica (75%) and Robusta (25%)

Dark Roasted

"Hearty and traditional, with smoky roast tones, toasted nuts, and hints of caramel and chocolate. A classic blend of Arabica and Robusta, full-bodied and intense, with a toasty finish that lingers."

- Ante Bikic, Head Roaster at Amokka

City Roast is a blend made for those who prefer a straightforward coffee with depth, strength and a familiar roasted character. The current recipe combines Brazilian Arabica with 25% high-quality Robusta from Dak Lak in Vietnam. It follows a style rooted in classic European espresso, where body and intensity are more prominent than brightness.

We roast City Roast fairly dark to develop sweetness and body while keeping the flavour balanced. The Robusta adds structure, depth and extra intensity, while the Brazilian Arabica brings sweetness and rounds out the blend. The result is a full-bodied coffee with plenty of roast character, without becoming overly bitter or harsh.

The aroma brings roasted nuts, smoke and chocolate. In the cup, the flavour moves towards toasted nuts, cocoa and caramel, with a touch of spice. Acidity is low, the texture is full and rich, and the finish is long with a gentle smoky sweetness.

City Roast is an uncomplicated coffee that works equally well as espresso, with milk or as a strong black coffee. It is a classic Arabica and Robusta blend made for people who enjoy a darker, more traditional style.

Impact at origin

Through Impact Trade, coffees used in City Roast support projects with our producing partners in Brazil and Vietnam.

At Fazenda Progresso in Bahia, Brazil, our partnership has helped fund a school and a community medical clinic serving families in the Roncador area. The school now teaches around 60 children and offers activities focused on sustainability and culture, while the clinic provides free healthcare, dental treatment and preventive care in cooperation with the local municipality.

In Vietnam, support has gone to a programme in Ea Nuol, Dak Lak, where our Robusta is sourced. Around 300 coffee-farming households took part in training on soil health, water use, responsible use of agricultural inputs and safer working practices during harvest. Bio-organic fertiliser was distributed to 90 farming households, while local children received notebooks, stationery and drawing materials.
