WHY DARK ROAST?

The Science Behind the Strength

Dark roasting isn't just about intensity it's about unlocking specific flavour compounds while maximizing caffeine availability. Here's what happens:

Flavour Development:

  • Caramelisation of sugars creates chocolate and caramel notes
  • Reduced acidity for smoother, easier digestion
  • Bold, full-bodied mouthfeel
  • Complex flavour layers that develop with each sip

Caffeine Content:

  • Contrary to popular belief, dark roasts can contain more caffeine per scoop (beans are less dense, so you get more beans per gram)
  • Our roasting process maximizes caffeine extraction
  • Perfect balance between strength and flavour

Health Benefits:

  • Lower acidity = easier on sensitive stomachs
  • Rich in antioxidants
  • May improve metabolic function
  • Enhanced mental alertness and focus

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How much caffeine is in Zulu?


Zulu is a high-caffeine blend, with approximately 150-180mg of caffeine per double espresso shot (40ml). This is significantly higher than standard coffee blends. A standard 250ml cup contains approximately 200-250mg of caffeine.

Is Zulu suitable for espresso machines?


Absolutely! Zulu is specifically crafted to excel as espresso. It produces thick crema, bold flavour, and a clean finish. It's our most popular choice for home espresso machines.

Will this coffee taste burnt or bitter?


No. Despite being a dark roast, Zulu is roasted to bring out chocolate and caramel notes while avoiding bitterness. Our roasting process ensures a smooth, clean finish every time.


Should I buy beans or ground?

Beans if you have a grinder—you'll get maximum freshness and flavour. Ground if you want convenience and don't have a grinder. We grind it specifically for espresso/stovetop brewing.

What's the best way to brew Zulu?


Zulu excels as espresso or long black, but it's also fantastic as cold brew or French press. It's versatile enough for any brewing method, but truly shines as espresso.

Is Zulu organic or fair trade?


While we prioritize quality and ethical sourcing, Zulu is not certified organic. We work with suppliers who practice sustainable farming and fair labour practices.

How long will Zulu stay fresh?


Whole beans stay fresh for 3-4 weeks after opening (best quality) and remain good for 2-3 months. Ground coffee is best within 1-2 weeks and good for up to 1 month. Store in a cool, dark place in an airtight container.

Is this coffee acidic?


No. Zulu is a low-acid coffee, making it easier on sensitive stomachs. The dark roast process naturally reduces acidity while maintaining bold flavour.

Can I use this for cold brew?


Yes! Zulu makes an excellent cold brew. Use a 1:4 ratio (coffee to water), steep for 12-24 hours, and enjoy smooth, concentrated cold brew with no bitterness.

What's the difference between 500g and 1kg?


Just the size! 500g is perfect for trying Zulu or for solo drinkers (approximately 25-30 espresso shots). 1kg is better value for households or heavy coffee drinkers (approximately 50-60 espresso shots).

Do you offer subscriptions?


Yes! Save 10-15% with weekly or monthly subscriptions. Choose your size, format (beans or ground), and delivery frequency. Pause or cancel anytime.

Where is Zulu roasted?


Zulu is roasted in Australia to ensure quality, freshness, and consistency in every batch.

Can I drink this at night?


Only if you're planning to stay up! Zulu is high in caffeine, so we don't recommend it within 6-8 hours of bedtime unless you're working a night shift or pulling an all-nighter.
