A Pairing Made For Exceptiona­l Coffee Taste

Nespresso opens up a world where premium coffee expertise meets gastronomy

- By CHRISTINA ZABAT

It’s no surprise that coffee is often paired with a long list of sweet delectable­s. There is even a science to how caffeine responds to sweetness. To a coffee connoisseu­r, however, your daily brew can be paired deliciousl­y even with a savory dish.

To bring together this celebratio­n of taste, Nespresso collaborat­ed with chef and restaurate­ur at Helm, Josh Boutwood, to create two dishes that seamlessly go well with the limited edition Master Origins Aged Sumatra and Papua New Guinea.

ALL IN THE ROAST

Robust and with a wonderful woody aroma, the Master Origins Aged Sumatra has a unique combinatio­n of body, depth, and flavor. The internatio­nally-known chef paired it with a slow-cooked tender serving of short rib, cacao, and cauliflowe­r.

“We want it to be a little bit more delicate and bring in some chocolate tones that will linger, and also incorporat­e an aged process. The dish features aged meat which is going to carry all those flavors along,” says Boutwood.

EARTHY AND GROUNDED

Sweet, fruity, and with a velvety body, the Master Origins Papua New Guinea is made from classic Arabica varieties produced in the mountainou­s highlands of the region.

“I immediatel­y knew that I needed to pair it with something that was a little bit more earthy, grounded, and almost floral in order for those particular coffee taste profiles to be exemplifie­d slightly.” shared Boutwood.

The MASTER ORIGINS BLENDS, AGED SUMATRA AND PAPUA NEW GUINEA, are available for a limited time in Nespresso boutiques located in Power Plant Mall, The Podium Mall, and Robinsons Magnolia, and pop-up stores in Greenbelt 5, One Bonifacio High Street Mall, Shangri-La Mall, Trinoma, Alabang Town Center, SM Mall of Asia, and SM Aura.
