Antz Inya Pantz Offerings

At Antz we create blends that are readily sourced and available. Usually, we mix then roast selecting beans that are compatible by size and density during the roasting process. Occasionally, a good blend requires that beans be roasted separately and then blended post-roast. As your roaster we make decisions based on taste or your specific requirement. Alternatively, single origin coffees offer that distinct pure taste that allows for a simple uncluttered coffee. We roast single origins to that perfect temperature that offers up your best taste.

POPULAR BLENDS…

Antz House Blend: This signature blend is loved by all and thought to be a “hug” in a cup. Starting with Brazil Rainforest Alliance Certified Ipanema for smoothness and balance then enhanced with the chocolaty note of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and PNG Sigri for body and thickness on the tongue to round out this comfy blend. You will liken it to wearing your favorite jumper on a cool day.

G.U.S.: G.U.S. is that next step up in taste challenge from the House Blend. This blend was developed for those customers and cafes that want to be bold. The base taste is Guatemalan Huehuetanango which shows off it’s delicate acidity, smooth and subtle spice with pepperjack in the aroma. And just so you don’t slumber off to coffee dreamland there are added elements of Ugandan Bugisu to shake you up along with Sumatra Mandheling to add to the heavy syrupy espresso. You find dark, rusty and thick creama in this distinguished blend. Customers return to GUS just so they can remember the great taste was no accident the first time.

K.U.S.: Only by special request. This is a no hugs, bad boy coffee blend. KUS is out on parole and the coffee authorities are looking to put him back in the slammer. By taking the smooth Guatemalan away from Cousin GUS and replacing it with Kenya’s Malimbe bean…you get an Ebola Strength jungle coffee that will make your eyes pop out. Roasted a bit darker than other Antz coffees It comes on strong and will wake you up like a bad dictator in the middle of the night.

Other: What do you yearn for? As an individual customer or café do you have a product you would like us to match up? Or would you prefer to have Antz create that one off taste signature for you. Let us know and we can make your coffee dreams come true.

SINGLE ORIGINS…

Single origin coffees can be good or bad depending on the bean or weather at time of growth and harvest. Simply, a single bean roast magnifies the taste of the bean and the environment it was grown in. There are no subtle sub-tastes, highs or lows…it just sings out its clear and honest note of flavour. At Antz we have great single origin beans with pure taste. The most popular single origins our customers love are…

Tiger Mountain: What a great surprise this mountain maverick provides. Best roasted medium/dark, Tiger has a unique but complex taste. As an espresso it looks dark reddish brown with syrupy consistency and a sweet pleasant feel on the tongue. This single origin medium acidity with an herbal woodishness and fruity blueberry in the aroma. Tiger is truly a stand alone bean and generally does not mix well with other beans. For every bag of 21st Century Tiger green beans sold a dollar is set aside to reclaim tiger habitat in India from development. Check out www.21stcenturytiger.com for more details on this program.

Brazil Ipanema Rainforest Alliance Certified: Customers love this single origin, environmentally sensitive bean for its smooth sweetness and low acidity. Ipanema has fantastic aroma regardless of how its prepared and will please all your guests. Be sure to check out the Rainforest Alliance website at www.rainforest-alliance.org

Nicaraguan Santa Rosa Rainforest Alliance Certified: This bean has become an Antz favorite recently. It has classic Caribbean qualities…balance, smoothness, character and depth of taste. Prepares well as either an espresso or a bright tasteful latte, you will find subtle tastes of berry, tobacco and a hint of chocolate chip cookie this great cuppa.

Costa Rican Betsy: She’s got a full balanced body and is ready to reggae in your mouth. Taste similarities to the more famous (and expensive) Jamaican Blue, you will find this bright tasting bean to have a note of nuttiness, and crisp citrus tang with medium body and smooth finish with no bitter aftertaste and low acidity.

Guatemala Huehuetanango Organic: Close your eyes and visualize the high mountains where this bean is grown. You can smell the exotic spicy aroma and feel the honey think crema on your tongue with traces of the pepper, tobacco and red wine contributing to this great single origin bean.
