What does the London Coffeehouse blend taste like?
The London Coffeehouse is a medium-to-dark roast built for balance. It delivers a full body with low-to-medium acidity, making it approachable for a wide range of brewing styles. Expect notes of dark chocolate, roasted sugar, and a clean, slightly smoky finish that mirrors the character of a classic coffeehouse cup.
This roast works well as espresso, the base for milk drinks like lattes and flat whites, and as a French press brew for a heavier, richer cup. It holds up beautifully with milk because the roast level tames brightness without turning bitter. For buyers who want to understand how this blend compares to other bold coffee blends, The Flaming Bean’s range covers everything from lighter single-origin lots to deep, full-bodied blends.
- Roast level: Medium-dark
- Body: Full
- Acidity: Low-to-medium
- Tasting notes: Dark chocolate, roasted sugar, clean smoky finish
- Best for: Espresso, lattes, flat whites, French press
When to pick London Coffeehouse over a single-origin: if you want consistency across a large batch, a crowd-pleasing cup for an office or event, or a reliable espresso base, this blend is the right call. Single-origin lots offer more distinct regional character and often carry a premium price, but they can vary lot to lot. Suppliers commonly note that blends provide consistency while single-origin commands higher retail pricing, which is worth keeping in mind for private-label positioning.
Who should buy this roast?
London Coffeehouse fits a wide range of buyers. Here’s how each customer type maps to the right format.
- Home drinkers: A 12 oz retail bag in whole bean or drip grind is the starting point. Order once or subscribe for automatic refills.
- Offices and teams: A 5 lb bag or a recurring wholesale order keeps the break room stocked without reordering every week.
- Cafés and retailers: Wholesale bags in 5–30 lb sizes work for back-of-house use. Private-label packaging lets you put your own brand on the bag.
- Corporate gifting: Retail bags in gift-ready packaging make a practical, well-received gift for clients or staff.
- Event planners: Catering packages bring barista service, equipment, and coffee to your venue. No sourcing or setup required on your end.
Grind options at checkout include whole bean, drip, espresso, and cold brew coarse. Matching the grind to the use case matters: espresso grind for machines, coarse for French press or cold brew, medium for drip brewers.
How do you buy it, and what does it cost?
The Flaming Bean offers four clear purchase paths for London Coffeehouse.
| Purchase Type | Format | Typical Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| Retail (single bag) | 12 oz bag, multiple grinds | Ships within days of roast |
| Subscription | 12 oz, choose cadence | Roasted and shipped per cycle |
| Wholesale (bulk) | 5–30 lb bags | Contact for quote and timeline |
| Private-label | Custom packaging, bulk | 4–10 weeks depending on spec |
Retail: Single bags are available directly through the website. Pricing is not publicly listed here, so check the current product page for live pricing. Bundles and multi-bag orders typically offer a per-bag savings.
Subscription: Choose a weekly, biweekly, or monthly cadence. Subscriptions usually include a discount off the single-bag price and may qualify for free shipping. You can pause or modify your subscription from your account dashboard at any time.
Wholesale and private-label: Pricing scales with volume. White-label options (existing packaging, your label) tend to ship faster, while custom private-label profiles with bespoke packaging take longer. Use the wholesale inquiry form and include your expected monthly volume to get an accurate quote.
For private-label buyers, a practical sourcing checklist covers bean variety, roast profiles, certifications, minimum order quantities, lead times, and packaging requirements. These are the negotiation points to confirm before signing any contract.
Where do the beans come from?
The Flaming Bean sources from renowned growing regions and roasts in small batches to preserve the character of each lot. The London Coffeehouse blend draws from carefully selected origins chosen for their ability to produce a balanced, full-bodied cup at a medium-dark roast level.
Every bag carries a visible roast date. That date tells you exactly when the coffee was roasted, so you know what you’re getting. Roast-to-order means your bag goes into the roaster after your order is placed, not pulled from aging warehouse stock.
- Roast date: Printed on every bag
- Small-batch roasting: Each lot roasted in controlled quantities for consistency
- Degassing valve bags: One-way valve packaging preserves freshness after roast
- Origin traceability: Farm and region notes available on product pages
- Wholesale buyers: Request a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and roast profile documentation when placing large orders
London-style roasters known for small-batch quality typically show roast dates prominently and provide provenance information on the bag. These are the trust signals worth checking at checkout, whether you’re buying one bag or a pallet.
How do you brew London Coffeehouse at home or in a café?
The most reliable starting point for this roast is espresso. The medium-dark profile extracts cleanly under pressure and pairs well with milk. For filter brewing, a French press or pour-over brings out the chocolate and roasted sugar notes without over-extracting the darker edges.
- Espresso (double shot): Dose 18–20 g, grind fine, target a 36–40 g yield in 25–30 seconds. Use a quality grinder for consistent particle size.
- Pour-over: Dose 15 g per 250 ml water, medium grind, water at 200°F. Bloom the grounds with 30 ml water for 30 seconds before pouring the rest in a slow spiral.
- French press: Dose 30 g per 500 ml water, coarse grind, steep 4 minutes, press slowly. This method produces the heaviest body and richest chocolate notes.
- Cold brew: Dose 80 g per 1 liter cold water, coarse grind, steep 12–18 hours in the refrigerator. Dilute 1:1 with water or milk before serving.
Pro Tip: If your espresso tastes bitter, grind slightly coarser and reduce your dose by 1 g. If it tastes sour or thin, grind finer. For café-quality results at home, small grind adjustments matter more than brew time tweaks.
What happens after you place your order?
Retail and subscription orders are roasted close to the ship date. Once roasted, bags typically ship within a few business days. U.S. delivery times vary by carrier and destination, but most domestic orders arrive within 3–7 business days after shipping.
| Order Type | Roast-to-Ship Window | Estimated U.S. Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Retail (single bag) | 1–3 days post-roast | 3–7 business days |
| Subscription | Roasted per cycle | 3–7 business days |
| Wholesale (bulk) | Contact for timeline | Varies by volume |
| Private-label (white label) | ~4–6 weeks | Coordinated with buyer |
| Private-label (custom profile) | several weeks | Coordinated with buyer |
White-label wholesale options ship faster, typically within several weeks from order confirmation. Custom private-label profiles with unique roast specs and packaging take longer to complete. For urgent event catering orders, contact The Flaming Bean directly to confirm availability and lead time before booking.
How does the wholesale and private-label process work?
The process moves in clear steps from first inquiry to production run.
- Submit an inquiry: Use the wholesale form on the website. Include your expected monthly volume, preferred format (whole bean or ground), and any certification requirements (Organic, Fair Trade).
- Receive a sample roast: The Flaming Bean sends sample lots for sensory evaluation before any commitment.
- Sign off on the roast profile: Approve the flavor profile, roast level, and origin notes. For custom private-label, this step includes finalizing the roast curve.
- Confirm packaging specs: Choose bag size, valve type, label design, and any required certifications. White-label uses existing packaging; private-label uses your custom design.
- Place the production order: Minimum order quantities for whole bean and ground SKUs are commonly high for full private-label runs. Pilot lots are available at a premium for buyers who want to test before committing to full production.
- Receive deliverables: COA, roast profile documentation, packaging proofs, and shipping coordination.
For buyers new to private-label sourcing, a checklist covering Arabica vs. Robusta, certifications, MOQs, and lead times is a practical starting point for any supplier conversation.
- Pilot lots available for testing before full production runs
- COA and roast profile provided per lot
- Contact the wholesale team for custom packaging timelines and pricing
What does event catering include?
The Flaming Bean’s event catering brings the full coffeehouse experience to your venue. A typical package covers barista staffing, espresso equipment, and enough coffee for your guest count, plus disposable cups and accessories.
- Staffing: Trained baristas handle setup, service, and breakdown
- Equipment: Commercial espresso machine and grinder provided
- Coffee volume: Estimated per guest based on event length and service style
- Disposables: Cups, lids, and stirrers included in standard packages
- Optional upgrades: Specialty drink menus, branded cups, cold brew service, or latte art stations
Pricing is typically quoted per person or as a flat fee covering equipment and service. Starting rates vary by event size, location, and service duration. Request an estimate through the event inquiry form on the website. Include your date, guest count, venue address, and any special requests. Lead times for catering bookings depend on availability, so the earlier you inquire, the better. Coffee has a way of bringing people together at events, and a live barista station tends to become a centerpiece of the experience.
How do you store London Coffeehouse for peak freshness?
Whole bean coffee stays at peak flavor for a few weeks after the roast date. Ground coffee is best used within about a week or two. The roast date on every bag is your reference point.
- Store in a cool, dark place: A pantry or cabinet away from heat and light works well.
- Use an airtight container: The degassing valve bag seals well, but a dedicated airtight canister extends freshness once the bag is open.
- Avoid the refrigerator for daily use: Moisture from condensation degrades flavor. Freeze only if storing for more than a month, and let the bag come to room temperature before opening.
- Do not store near the stove or in direct sunlight: Heat accelerates staling faster than almost anything else.
Pro Tip: Wholesale buyers should rotate stock using FIFO (first in, first out) and order in smaller, more frequent batches rather than one large quarterly order. Fresher coffee means better cups for your customers and fewer returns.
How do purpose-driven blends like Safe Ground work?
The Flaming Bean’s purpose-driven blends connect great coffee to meaningful causes. Safe Ground, Mission Fuel, and Liquid Liberation each direct a portion of proceeds to partner organizations focused on protecting vulnerable individuals, advancing digital safety, and combating exploitation.
- How it works: A percentage of each sale from a designated blend goes directly to the named partner organization.
- Verification: The Flaming Bean lists partner names and cause descriptions on product and charity pages. Buyers can request confirmation of donation routing from the wholesale team.
- Trust signals to look for: Partner name on the product page, a stated donation percentage or mechanism, and a short description of the cause the blend supports.
Buying a purpose blend means your coffee purchase funds something beyond the cup. For wholesale buyers, stocking purpose blends gives your customers a reason to choose your brand over a generic option.
