Not all coffee is created equal. Greatness is achieved through the uncompromised pursuit of perfection in the sourcing, roasting and preparation of coffee. Grand Crü embodies this ethos, displaying a profound dedication to the process, resulting in a showcase of the exceptional and the extraordinary – a coffee of inimitable elegance, complexity and flavour.

The distinct character of the Grand Crü blend begins at source – in the terroir and biology of the varietal, the approach to cultivation, and the cherry processing. In the same way that vineyards are designated ‘Grand Crü’, Grand Crü is a reflection of this approach in the world of coffee; a combination of the world’s finest Arabica, expert knowledge and unique craftsmanship.
Chosen for its unique character and extraordinary quality each component has achieved an industry recognised SCAA international quality score of 80+ denoting true speciality status of the green coffee.
The Grand Crü blend remains fluid, moving with the crops and seasons, ensuring optimum flavour profiles, and instilling depth and complexity into each blend. The coffee presented is tabled when at its peak and should be considered a unique composition.
Once the season’s finest coffees have been sourced, the delicate process of curating our perfect House Blend commences. This rich coffee blend has been expertly balanced by our coffee Q Graders in collaboration
with Ronan Sayburn, Master Sommelier.
Possessing deft palates and leveraging combined wisdom there is complete consideration of the individual attributes of each coffee, and how these characteristics will work to achieve a complementary texture, acidity and flavour for a harmonious taste profile.
Drawing on the similarities between coffee and wine, the coffee in our House Blend is carefully sourced, roasted and blended together from the season’s best crop by Ronan Sayburn, Master Sommelier, and UCC Coffee’s Q-Grading team. The result is a premium coffee of inimitable elegance, complexity and flavour.
The Grand Crü house blend offers inimitable flavour and depth. Each season the best crop is handpicked from carefully selected farms to guarantee a consistent, and exceptional flavour profile. “Sumptuous flavours of creamy fudge, velvety Swiss milk chocolate and cherry bakewell sweetness"
