Toby’s Estate has unveiled the next edition of the Flavour Savour series – Pandan Waffle.
The new limited edition Flavour Savour, Pandan Waffle is based on the traditional Vietnamese treat with tasting notes of pine lime ice-cream, coconut cream and melons, and according to Toby’s Head Roaster, Danny Cao – “It’s really delicious”.
Mr Cao, who recently came second in the 2024 Australian Speciality Coffee Association (ASCA) National Coffee Roasting Championships, worked closely with Toby’s coffee farmer, Rodrigo Sánchez Valencia, from his family farm Monteblanco, in Colombia, to achieve this 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,” says Mr Cao.
“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. Our coffee team is full of experience and expertise and we spend a lot of time to make sure the ratios of the coffees we select bring out the flavours we want. We always want the end consumer to be able to taste what we put on the front of the bag,” he said.
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 select cafes.
