Toby’s Estate has launched the next edition of its Flavour Savour series: Pandan Waffle, based on the traditional Vietnamese treat, featuring flavours of pine lime ice-cream, coconut cream and melons.
Toby’s Head Roaster, Danny Cao worked closely with Toby’s coffee farmer, Rodrigo Sánchez Valencia, from his family farm Monteblanco, in Colombia, to achieve the unique flavour.
“We love to keep things interesting with our Flavour Savour blends and who doesn’t love a waffle? Rodrigo uses an innovative process to infuse the flavours into the coffee beans during the fermentation process. It’s then up to us the roasters, to roast the coffee to bring out the flavours and then blend the different flavours together to achieve the final product.
“Pandan Waffle for example is a unique blend of the different infused beans: we’ve used a combination of melons, tropical and peach to achieve our final flavour profile. We always want the end consumer to be able to taste what we put on the front of the bag,” said Cao.
Previous flavours in the Toby’s Estate Flavour Savour series include Butterscotch Pudding, Banana Split, Crème Brulee and Blueberry Crumble.
Best served with milk and available in 200g and 1kg bags, Toby’s Estate’s Pandan Waffle is available online and from selected cafés.
