Espresso

Bewley’s Special Reserve

All Baristas appreciate the value of quality espresso beans; and how to transform them into the finest coffees. To salute their passion and dedication, we have created our Bewley’s Special Reserve. It’s an exquisite blend, for which our Master Roaster selects only the best beans from the world’s most exotic coffee growing regions. He then devotes many long hours to roasting and blending, preparing an espresso fit for the world’s greatest baristas.

Our signature espresso is smooth, well rounded with perfectly balanced body. Stand alone, this espresso has a rich buttery mouthfeel with a deep, dark chocolate aftertaste.

Strength: – Bold & Distinctive

Bewley’s Academy Blend

Bewley’s were the first to open a Barista Academy in Ireland. There, baristas learn from masters how blends are created; and how to release a bounty of individual aromas that come together as unique expressions of the coffee maker’s art. In honour of this, our Barista Academy Blend is an exciting combination of beans from Colombia, Honduras, Brazil and Sumatra. Everything we know about coffee goes into every drop.

All the character and flavour of Special Reserve with a lighter roast producing a well rounded coffee with a pleasant lingering aftertaste.

Fairtrade Harmony Blend

Winner of the gold medal at the Great Taste Awards 2010 our Fairtrade signature blend is a unique coffee, for which our Master Roaster selects only the best beans from Colombia, Honduras, Brazil and Sumatra. He then devotes many long hours to roasting and blending, preparing an espresso that not only satisfies coffee aficionados but creates harmonious relationships between them and those farmers cultivating the crop.

Fairtrade Blend ‘96

Being the first company to import Fairtrade coffee into Ireland in 1996, we make it our business today to forge links with ethical trading organisations such as Utz Kapeh, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance. We source fine coffees from Fairtrade farms in Colombia, Nicaragua and Brazil, paying the farmers a premium so that they enjoy a better lifestyle and we get an excellent bean. Then, we craft a lighter roast, giving coffee-lovers an enticing and gentle introduction to the rich and delightful world of espresso. Time to start exploring.

Lightly roasted this Fairtrade blend produces a sweet stand alone espresso.

Papua Java

A certain alchemy happens when you bring two great individual flavours together. For Bewley’s Papua Java, our Master Roaster first sources the finest beans from Java. We carefully roast these beans and blend them with specially roasted beans from Papua New Guinea, creating a night-dark mélange that can be enjoyed by anyone.

Very dark roast. Strong with bold, distinctive aftertaste.

Maya Organic Blend

Bewley’s May Organic Blend derives from a centuries-old tradition of farming in the ancient Maya lands around Central and Southern America, watched over by the ancestral spirits that haunt the local ruins. This organic blend is produced naturally, grown in very fertile soil, shaded by banana trees and orange groves. By paying them a Fairtrade premium, Bewley’s support the co-op of small farmers who make a life for themselves and their community in this legendary lost land.

Smooth, well balanced with a sublime, tropical, natural sweetness.

La Scala Prima

According to the Italians, if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing beautifully. They bring that aesthetic to their coffee, topping off each intense espresso with a signature schiuma. At Bewley’s, we also like a little expression with our espresso. Which is why we’ve created this combination of specially selected fine beans that come together delightfully to make a perfectly dramatic statement – Caffe La Scala.

Slowly roasted for a long period of time to produce a bold bodied espresso with a nutty and sweet flavour.
