Our Dead Man Blend is always changing. Today we went over to Seven Seeds to sample the latest with a few different options. We've taken home 2 different blends to try out Sunday morning to see which one we like most. It's either blend A with equal parts Ethiopian Guji, Costa Rican Cafetin and Colombian San Sebastian or blend B with 2 parts each Sebastian & Cafetin and 1 part Guji. The Sebastian brings some caramel and bright notes to the blend, the higher end while the Cafetin offers a nice sweetness. The Guji is also quite sweet and gives the blend some big body with some nice lingering cocoa flavours. A standout bean this one!! I think I liked blend A, as the Guji did bring it all together and make it, not necessarily more balanced but more stronger?? But blend B did have a real nice sweetness to it. 
All 3 coffees are 'Relationship coffees". Both Mark or Bridget have been to all farms and love what they do. Come in Sunday morning and try out the new blend.


With the new menu, fingers crossed, will be ready by Monday, we will have some bloody tasty ready made sandwiches as well. Today we gave the Smoked chicken, carrot, apple, sultanas and Japanese Mayo a test run, which all sold, so this along with 4 others will be available daily from 11.00am...  Dead Man coffee and a Dead Man Sanga. Quick and bloody tasty. 
Here's another potential for the new menu. Smoked trout salad with celery, celeriac, beetroot, potato, carrot and a few other bits and pieces. Looks amazing, taste even better. 


Thanks JDiddy for putting together our Dead Man blend. We could not be in better hands than with one of the nicest and most respected guys in the industry. JDiddy, JTown, Juzzy, Justin, he goes by many alias's but he's solid as a rock, looking forward to those beers on the roof Sunday arvo, Juzzy! And with you too Toby, after your month long abstinence from booze. Crazy fool! What were you thinking. Now dare you to try coffee.
