No Mercy

• Coffee from Rwanda grows on fertile volcanic soil at around 1,500–2,000 metres altitude.
• Javanese coffee comes from old plantations on the Ijen plateau (>1,400 m), such as the Blawan and Kayumas estates.
• Rwanda counts around 400,000 small-scale coffee farmers (2025 data).
• The blend thus combines two terroirs: a sharp African accent and a heavy Asian body.

The No Mercy blend is roasted very dark, almost black. The prolonged, high-temperature roast reduces the acidity and gives the coffee a heavy, full body. The flavour profile is intense: you taste dark chocolate and caramel from the dark roast. Light smoky and woody notes also emerge from the roasting.

• Clear notes of dark chocolate in aroma and flavour.
• Soft caramel sweetness from sugars converted during roasting.
• A subtle smokiness or woody aroma due to the dark roast.
• Possibly a light spiciness in the aftertaste thanks to the Javanese component.

• The Javanese beans are processed using the fully washed method: the pulp ferments and is then rinsed away (washed coffee).
• In Rwanda the washed method is usually applied as well, sometimes with sun-drying (natural finish).
• Wet processing yields a relatively clean, bright coffee with fresh notes.

• The blend consists of 100% Coffea arabica beans.
• The Rwandan component is largely of the Bourbon variety (Arabica).
• In Java, arabica crops have also traditionally been cultivated (descended from Typica/Bourbon lineages).

• In Rwanda, sustainable coffee production is a priority: many plantations work with shade trees and fair prices for farmers.
• Full traceability in the supply chain is pursued to support farmers.
• Blooss also offers certified coffees (Fairtrade/organic); for example, their Sumatra Mandheling is Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified.

• Dark-roasted beans like these are well suited for espresso: grind finely and extract for about 30 seconds for a concentrated cup.
• No Mercy also performs excellently in a robust French press: a coarse grind and 5–10 minutes of steeping give a lot of body.
• Aeropress is another option: the device quickly brews a rich, almost espresso-like cup with a fine grind.
• Use water around 90 °C to avoid excessively bitter flavours.
• Use a strong coffee dose (about 1 g per 15 ml of water) to achieve optimal flavour richness.
