What to Expect
Dear Green's City Blend is an organic workhorse built for everyday drinking. This is chocolate and caramel with a whisper of sweet cherry — approachable, reliable, and designed to work across brew methods without fuss.
The Cup
You're looking at a medium body with a round, smooth mouthfeel that leans towards the heavier side. Acidity is low to moderate — enough to keep things interesting but not enough to challenge anyone. The cherry note adds a gentle fruity sweetness without tipping into fermented or funky territory. This is a clean, straightforward cup that prioritises balance over complexity.
Who This Is For
This suits drinkers who want something dependable that won't polarise the household. It's for people who drink coffee daily and need something that tastes good without demanding precision or experimentation.
If you're chasing bright, fruit-forward acidity or delicate floral notes, this isn't the coffee for you.
Best for: Daily drinkers who want a smooth, chocolatey cup that works morning to afternoon.
How to Brew This Coffee
A French Press will emphasise the body and bring out the chocolate and caramel sweetness. Aeropress offers flexibility — you can dial in a cleaner cup or push for more richness depending on your method. Espresso works well here too, delivering a sweet, balanced shot with good crema and no sharp edges.

DEAR GREEN X GREEN CITY
Dear Green are now working with Greencity, a local whole food cooperative. We're two organisations who have ethics and quality at the core of our business practices and have joined forces to create our own collaboration coffee blend! 'The Dear Green City Blend', why would we call it anything else?
Our blend of coffee not only tastes delicious (think of full-bodied milk chocolate flavours with caramel sweetness and a mouth-watering acidity!), it's also 100% Organic certified and has been sourced through direct trade links allowing a focus on high quality, traceability, sustainability, and more money going back along the transparent ethical supply chain to those who need it the most. Plus we are supporting local too by donating £1 from each bag to support the community gardening work of local social enterprise Greenheart Growers and local community garden Wash House Garden.

Ways to Brew
-
French Press
A French Press (or Cafetiere) is a simple, manual coffee maker that brews rich, full-bodied coffee by steeping coarse grounds in hot water, then separating them by pressing a mesh filter down with a plunger, allowing the coffee's natural oils and sediment to remain for a bolder flavour.
-
Aeropress
An innovative, portable brewing device that uses air pressure to extract coffee quickly and efficiently. This versatile method allows for experimentation with brewing times and techniques, producing anything from espresso-style concentrates to smooth, full-flavored cups with remarkable consistency.
-
Espresso
An intense, concentrated brewing method that forces hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a small, powerful shot with rich crema, serving as the foundation for countless coffee drinks while delivering bold flavors and aromatic complexity.
