The Coffee Sommelier Hot Serve Brewing Guide:

• Measure: Add 1 heaped teaspoon (approx 1.8g) to your favourite pre warmed mug.
• Water: Use hot but not boiling water at approximately 80 degrees Celsius. Expert Tip: A thermometer or a temperature-controlled kettle is the reliable way to get there without scorching the granules.
• Pour: Add 200ml of water while stirring vigorously for 10 seconds to incorporate air.
• The Finish: Enjoy the light golden crema that forms on the surface, enhancing the aromatic delivery.

The Iced Alta Rica Intensity Recipe:

• Why Try It: This method creates a refreshing and indulgent iced coffee that maintains its bold intensity, perfect for hot summer afternoons.
• The Prep: Dissolve 2 heaped teaspoons of granules in 50ml of hot water to create a potent dark coffee concentrate.
• The Chill: Fill a tall glass with large ice cubes and pour the hot concentrate directly over them to lock in the cacao volatiles.
• The Serve: Top with 150ml of cold filtered water or milk for a professional finish.

The Dark Cacao Mocha Latte Recipe:

• The Base: Prepare a strong concentrate using 1 heaped teaspoon of Alta Rica and a half teaspoon of dark cocoa powder dissolved in 50ml of hot water.
• The Milk: Gently heat and froth 150ml of whole milk or a creamy oat alternative until a dense velvety micro foam forms.
• The Combine: Pour the frothed milk over the coffee and cacao base. The intensity 9 profile provides the perfect structural integrity for a rich mocha latte experience.
