Description
Meet The Great Dane – Terbodore Coffee Roasters’ iconic flagship dark roast blend and all-time bestseller, expertly hand-roasted in small batches in Franschhoek, South Africa. Beloved by coffee enthusiasts across the country, this signature blend is a heartfelt tribute to Sultan, the original Great Dane whose gentle nature and larger-than-life presence became the enduring symbol of Terbodore.
Crafted from premium 100% Arabica beans, with origins including Ethiopia and Indonesia, The Great Dane offers a luxuriously rich and rewarding cup. Deep dark chocolate flavours take centre stage, lingering on the palate before unfolding into a smooth, structured finish that’s both satisfying and refined.
