Continental Coffee

Continental Coffee is a dark-roasted delight. Whether you like a full English breakfast or European pastries, it makes for a perfect start to the day. You can buy Continental Coffee online or in-store here at The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company.

Our family-run establishment takes tremendous pride in packing these beans, as well as Loose Tea, fresh to order from our Kent-based factory.

The Story Behind Continental Coffee Beans

Its name might imply that the journey of Continental Coffee starts in France, Italy or Germany. The truth is that it begins in Brazil and Honduras - countries in South and Central America, respectively.

This is where workers harvest and sort the beans ready for shipping. What happens next is we roast them with the latest state-of-the-art Neuhaus Neotec fluidised air-bed system, ensuring quality and consistency.

Roasting is the point where Coffee can shine its brightest - figuratively and literally. Dark Roasted Coffee, in particular, experiences heat between 350°F – 400°F, which makes the beans shinier, oilier and, of course, darker on the surface.

Casual drinkers and connoisseurs alike - especially continental Europeans - flock to them. But the most important question remains: What does Continental Coffee taste like?

What Does Continental Coffee Taste Like?

You might not be surprised to discover that dark-roasting does more than change the appearance of Continental Coffee. It also has a significant influence on its flavour and character.

Infusions such as these often boast bitter, smokey and even, at times, slightly burnt notes reminiscent of charcoal. Bold and full-bodied to the last, it is a distinctive and unforgettable brew.

Does Continental Coffee Have Caffeine?

The next question in need of addressing is whether Continental Roast Coffee contains caffeine. The answer, simply, is yes, it does - quite a lot, in fact. The average serving will have 100-mg of the stimulant, which should be more than enough to boost your energy.

Some scientists even believe that consuming caffeine in Coffee leads to health benefits. But how? And why?

Continental Coffee Benefits

Though not as famous as the benefits of Tea, it turns out that Coffee has much to offer your health and well-being. This is because of its high levels of antioxidants, which combat free radicals in the body and, ultimately, reduce the risk of developing numerous chronic conditions. Be sure to discover its true potential at The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company. You won’t regret it.
