Midnight Oil Seasonal Espresso Blend

Midnight Oil is our modern take on the classic Australian espresso blend—rich, sweet and comforting, but built with the clarity and quality we expect from contemporary specialty coffee. This seasonally rotating medium roast is designed to stay dependable while shifting with the coffees tasting best throughout the year. For this latest iteration, Midnight is heading back towards the sweeter and lighter side of its personality, combining equal parts Ethiopian G4 and Indonesian Mandheling Pulped Natural.

The Ethiopian component is roasted to soften its brighter fresh-fruit character and bring forward brown sugar, currants and dried fruit—think Christmas pudding rather than tropical fruit salad. The Indonesian Mandheling adds deep chocolate, earthy richness and the heavy body that gives Midnight its signature weight. Together, they create a syrupy, balanced cup with notes of milk chocolate, fudge, brown sugar and dried fruit.

Originally created as our house blend, Midnight Oil has grown into a platform for presenting high-quality seasonal coffees in an approachable espresso format. It is sweet and rounded black, full and dessert-like through milk, and forgiving enough to work well across both home machines and busy cafés. It remains our go-to everyday espresso blend for a reason: it is easy to dial in, generous in the cup and consistently delicious.
