COFFEE BEANS

At Café Cognito, you experience scrupulously roasted and blended coffees from Down East Coffee Roasters of Notre-Dame-de-Kent. Delivered practically every other day, impeccable freshness and quality are assured. Good fresh beans are extremely aromatic and with such a marvelous aroma, it is easy to see why coffee is so appreciated.

Café Cognito carries interesting, rare and unusual coffees for sale. Since coffee loses its flavour quickly, buy only what you need for a short period of time and keep tightly sealed at room temperature always. There are basically three degrees of roasts: Brown, dark or black.

Brown roasts… For those who prefer delicate nuances, coffees roasted brown are recommended. Sweetness and brightness are quite noticeable at this stage in which natural sugars are developed and the full flavour and uniqueness of each variety is revealed.

Dark roasts… For those who prefer complex and spicy nuances as well as beans having a slight film of oil on them, dark roasts will please you! At this degree of roast beans begin to caramelize. This is the ideal roast for espresso, whose unique flavour has an attraction all its own.

Black roasts… This particular roast reveals the roastmaster's skill more than the variety's characteristics. Beans have an oily sheen and a smoky flavour. They are low in acid, contain less caffeine than lighter roasts and have a slight bittersweetness sought by coffee aficionado.

Jamaican Blue Mountain Old Tavern Estate
After cupping this rare coffee, experts wrote: "Medium bodied but expansively rich with complex mid to low notes.
