Description
Around the World is a gift ready taster of four coffees, one from each of the great coffee growing corners of the planet: South America, Africa, Australasia and Oceania, and Europe. Four 80g bags, four very different cups, one box.
What’s in the box
- South America — Brazil Eagle Mogiana. Sweet, smooth and medium-bodied, with the creamy, mellow character Brazilian coffee is known for. The comfort blanket of the pack.
- Africa — The Glory of Africa. A natural Ethiopian, sun-dried in the south-west of the country — the region most often called the birthplace of coffee. Full-bodied and sweet, with cocoa, jammy fruit and a black-tea finish.
- Australasia & Oceania — Papua New Guinea Okapa Washed. Grown by smallholders high in the Eastern Highlands. Washed, clean and softly fruity, with the gentle sweetness that makes Papua New Guinea one of the most underrated origins in the world.
- Europe — Tank Coffee Italian Roast. Our Italian-style espresso blend: Brazil Santos and Ethiopian Djimma for sweetness, Uganda natural robusta for body and crema, roasted dark the way Italy likes it.
Why “Europe”? Italy grows no coffee
A fair question, and worth answering properly. No European country grows a single coffee cherry — the plant only fruits in the tropics, and every bean ever roasted in Naples or Trieste arrived by ship. What Europe gave coffee was the roast and the ritual: the espresso machine, the corner bar, and a dark roast built to survive a 25-second shot. So the European entry in this box is a style rather than a crop — and it earns its place.
Four continents in one box
Coffee grows in a belt around the equator, and these four bags come from four corners of it. Brazil is the world’s largest producer, sweet and dependable. Ethiopia is where arabica began, wild and fruit forward. Papua New Guinea sits in the Pacific highlands, clean and softly sweet. Italy took all of that and turned it into a roast of its own. Put them side by side in one afternoon and you will taste how much the same plant changes with soil, altitude and process.
Made to be given
Four 80g bags, enough for several days’ drinking each, boxed together as one gift. It is the answer for someone who likes coffee but whose favourites you do not know yet — they get a tour of the coffee belt rather than a kilo of something they might not drink. It also makes a genuinely useful present for a new espresso machine, a new grinder, or a house move.
Grind and size
One size: four 80g bags. Available whole bean, or ground to order for filter, cafetière, Chemex, Aeropress, espresso or stove top — one grind for the whole box. If you are buying it as a gift and are not sure, whole bean is the safer choice.
Why buy from Tank Coffee
We are a small batch roastery: everything is roasted to order rather than to shelf.
