    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between single origin and espresso blend coffee beans?
    Colour Brown's espresso blends like Royal Lilac and Darko Choco are crafted for consistency — delivering a balanced, caramel-forward shot every time, ideal for lattes and milk drinks. Single origin beans highlight the unique character of one farm or region, offering more complex and varied tasting notes such as floral, fruity, or winey profiles. Beginners are recommended to start with blends; adventurous drinkers should explore single origins.
    Which Colour Brown coffee beans are best for pour over or hand brew?
    Light to medium roast single origins are best suited for pour over and hand brew at Colour Brown. Top picks include Colombia Las Guaduales Java Washed (Apple, Citrus, Coffee Blossom), Grand Cru Burundi Auction Lot Bavyeyi Fully Washed (Pomegranate, Raspberry, Lime), and Panama Boquete Belina Geisha Washed (Jasmine, Green Tea, Pomelo). All are roasted to a light medium level that preserves clarity and brightness in the cup.
    Which coffee beans at Colour Brown are best for beginners?
    Beginners should start with Colour Brown's medium-dark espresso blends — Royal Lilac and Darko Choco — both priced from HK$58 and delivering a smooth, chocolatey, low-acid flavour that is forgiving across most brewing methods. For those curious about single origins, the Indonesia Sulawesi Toraja G1 (Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut, Caramel) at HK$55 is an approachable full-body option with no sharp acidity.
    What is the most full-bodied and chocolatey coffee bean available at Colour Brown?
    The most full-bodied options in Colour Brown's current collection are the Indonesia Sulawesi Toraja G1 Washed (Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut, Caramel Finish) and Indonesia Sumatra Mandheling G1 Washed (Full Body, Dark Chocolate, Herbal Tea, Spicy Oak), both full city medium-dark roasts from HK$55. For espresso, Darko Choco Blend delivers a rich chocolate body at the same entry price.
    What does anaerobic natural processing mean and which Colour Brown beans use it?
    Anaerobic natural processing means the coffee cherries are fermented in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying, producing intensely fruity and complex flavour profiles. Colour Brown currently carries Colombia Las Delicious Catarra Anaerobic Natural (Yellow Peach, Passion Fruit, Carambola) and Colombia Sierra Nevada No Hay Como Dios Anaerobic Natural (Sweet Orange, Berries, Mulled Wine), both light medium roasts ideal for pour over.
