Buzzcut

Tasting notes

Fruit / Chocolate / Half Caffeine

Smooth, sweet, and gently complex. You’ll find milk chocolate, caramel, and a hint of dried fruit in the cup. With a soft body and mellow finish, Buzzcut gives you all the flavour of a great coffee, just without the buzz.

Origin

A thoughtful 50/50 blend of two distinctive coffees — Uganda (African Moon) and Mexico Mountain Water Process Decaf.
The Ugandan component comes from smallholder farmers working the steep slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains, known as the Mountains of the Moon. Grown in rich volcanic soil at altitudes up to 2,000 m, it brings natural sweetness, cocoa depth, and smooth body.
The Mexican half is decaffeinated in the country’s south using the Mountain Water Process, a natural method that preserves flavour while removing caffeine. Beans from Chiapas and Oaxaca add nutty, honeyed tones and a clean finish that rounds out the blend beautifully.
Together, they create a coffee that’s balanced, chocolatey, and satisfying — perfect for afternoons, evenings, or anytime you’d like to slow things down.

Variety

Mixed Heirloom, Natural

Process

Methods: Natural & Washed (Uganda) / Mountain Water Process Decaf (Mexico)
The Ugandan lots are a mix of natural and washed coffees, adding both fruit sweetness and clarity. The Mexican beans undergo a gentle water-based decaffeination using pure mountain water, keeping the flavour intact and the caffeine low. The result is a smooth, low-caffeine coffee that still feels indulgent — all flavour, no frenzy.

The coffee is off beautiful quality, all full, whole beans, brilliantly roasted. They taste great as espresso, sublime as flat white or iced latte. Lovely.

After being recommend to try Stewarts coffee roast, I bought the Raisin, Chocolate, Peanut espresso beans. I had regular updates from them while my beans were being roasted, packed and dispatched, with tracking available and the whole ordering process was so easy (just like it should be). On to the beans... Lightly roasted (light brown), not dark and shiny like a lot of dark-roasted beans I've tried before... and the smell when I opened the bag was incredible! Definitely the best-smelling coffee I've had. Taste-wise, I tried my usual 2-shot Americano and was very pleased with the smooth, robust taste. You can actually taste the notes described... but I wasn't "blown away" (although it was definitely up there with the best). Then I tried a quad-espresso. Espresso is what these beans are roasted for. A literal taste explosion, not bitter at all, but a delicious, nutty flavour with an overtone of peanut and chocolate and a back note of raisins. A beautiful hit of coffee on the palate. You've got yourself a subscriber.
