Brooklyn: A Brazil-Panama Espresso Blend With Geisha Lift

Brooklyn is an espresso blend built from 90% washed-and-honey Brazil and 10% washed Panamanian Geisha. The Brazil brings body, chocolate and praline depth; the Geisha lifts it with candied orange and florals. It is made for milk drinks and rich, sweet espresso at home.

Tasting Notes

Candied Orange · Praline · Cream
Round and syrupy in the cup, with a juicy mouthfeel, gentle acidity and a smooth, lingering chocolate finish.

Coffee Details

About This Coffee

The Brazilian base comes from São Sebastião do Anta, in the Mata de Minas region — not a place historically known for specialty coffee. For years the family traded in conventional lots, guided by buyers who doubted the farm could grow anything finer. That changed when Inacio Soares returned home to run Fazenda JS after his father fell ill, and set out to prove the doubters wrong with carefully processed anaerobic honey lots.

The Geisha that lifts this blend comes from Finca Santa Teresa in Panama, a farm working at the top of the global specialty market. Its volcanic soil, high altitude and surrounding rainforest produce coffees of unusual clarity. The estate's Geisha trees trace back to the celebrated Don Pache lineage, which gives the lot its distinct floral, citrus character.

Brooklyn brings the two together: the depth and sweetness of Brazil, lifted by a touch of Panamanian Geisha. We roast it for espresso here in Kuala Lumpur.

How to Brew Brooklyn

Dialled for espresso, but it also makes a sweet, syrupy filter.

Running too sharp or sour? Grind a touch finer or slow the shot. If it tastes heavy or bitter, grind coarser.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At around 18g per shot, a 250g bag pulls roughly 14 espressos (about RM7.14 per cup) and a 1kg bag around 55 (about RM4.36 per cup). Filter brewers using a little less coffee per cup will stretch every bag further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Brooklyn better for espresso or filter?
Espresso. It is roasted and dialled for the machine, where it shines in flat whites and lattes as well as straight shots. It still makes a lovely sweet, juicy filter if you prefer pour-over.

What does Brooklyn taste like?
Candied orange, praline and cream, with a round, juicy body and a smooth chocolate finish. The Brazil base gives the depth; the touch of Panamanian Geisha adds the citrus and floral lift.

Does it work in milk?
Yes. The chocolate and praline sweetness cuts through milk beautifully, making it an easy, crowd-pleasing choice for cappuccinos, flat whites and lattes.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order and ship within one week of your roast date. This blend is at its best 2 to 3 weeks after roasting, so it travels and rests well before you brew.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80.
