Red Brick

Red Brick is Square Mile’s longstanding house espresso, built to hold onto its familiar sweetness and depth as fresh crops rotate through the year. This edition brings red apple and toffee up front, followed by chocolate richness and a soft hazelnut finish – balanced enough to drink straight, with enough weight to carry through milk.

Half of the blend comes from Altamira de Chirripó, a white-honey Catuaí produced by Micepa Micromill in Costa Rica. Careful drying is particularly important in Chirripó’s humid, mist-heavy climate, and this lot contributes rounded sweetness and a gentle almond-like quality.

The remaining half is El Meridiano, a washed community lot from 58 smallholders across southern Tolima. Selected to concentrate red-fruit and berry character while keeping acidity in check, it gives the blend its brighter lift. Together, the two components land squarely in Red Brick territory: sweet, structured and comfortably full.
