Our Brewing Recommendations
The 80/20 Blend is an absolute powerhouse when paired with dairy or plant-based milks. The milk proteins interact beautifully with the cacao and biscuit notes, creating a thick, velvety texture.
How to Brew:
- South Indian Filter: The ultimate choice. It extracts a thick, punchy decoction that creates an incredibly nostalgic, bold morning filter coffee—perfect alongside a slice of mava cake or warm tea-time treats.
- Moka Pot / Home Espresso: Pulls a dense, syrupy concentrate with a beautiful crema that serves as the perfect foundation for a rich flat white or cappuccino. It is also our favorite choice to use directly in baking recipes, lending a rich coffee depth to chocolate cakes, brownies, and tiramisu.
- French Press: For those who like it black but heavy. A longer steep time coaxes out the warm brown spice notes and heavy cacao finish beautifully, making it an excellent, grounding counter-balance to sweet pastries and confectionery items.
We find the best. You brew the rest.
Our goal is to track down profiles that deliver comfort and structure in equal measure. When we put Blue Tokai’s 80/20 Blend through our rotation, it immediately stood out as a premier selection for our “Bold & Bitter” category.
Sourced from select estates across Karnataka, this 80/20 blend is explicitly crafted for those who enjoy a traditional, heavy-hitting flavor profile. We fell in love with its rich, savory core—leaning into the comforting taste of buttery biscuits, deep cacao, and a warming touch of brown spice. We selected this coffee for our lineup because it hits that perfect, nostalgic sweet spot: it carries a definite, robust bite when drunk black, yet possesses the heavy body needed to perfectly retain its identity when you add milk. Furthermore, its distinct cacao and brown spice undertones make it a beautiful companion for your afternoon bakes, pairing seamlessly with your confectionery needs as well.
