Specialty Coffee, Done Right

🔧 How to Brew It Best

This filter roast shines brightest when brewed using slow, manual methods that let the layers of flavour unfold. Here’s how to brew it like a pro:

V60 or Chemex (Pour-Over)

• Grind: Medium-fine

• Ratio: 1:16 (e.g., 15g coffee to 240g water)

• Water Temp: 93°C (200°F)

• Time: 3-4 minutes
  Let it bloom for 30 seconds, then pour in slow circles. Expect waves of tropical sweetness to come through.

French Press

• Grind: Coarse

• Ratio: 1:15

• Steep Time: 4 minutes
  You’ll get a richer, rounder cup with deeper berry notes.

However you brew it, this coffee delivers a unique experience that’s worth savoring.

🏠 Not Just a Café, A Community Hub

Step inside Tamp and you’ll find more than great coffee. The space is warm and welcoming, with natural wood interiors, friendly baristas, and a vibe that invites you to slow down.
