Yes but too much milk will drown out the delicate flavours. With the right milk ratio it makes a wonderful flat white.
Every roast is rested for at least a week to allow CO2 to degas and the profile to sweeten, then sealed within minutes in nitrogen-flushed, triple-layer high-barrier bags with premium one-way valves. This keeps oxygen and moisture out while letting residual gas escape, preserving Habesha’s delicate aromatics for up to 24 months. Direct grower partnerships and small-batch roasting in New Plymouth keep quality under our control from farm to cup.
