Telok Blend is the coffee Subtext is built on. It’s a two-origin blend we roast every week at the Telok Ayer bar — a Brazilian base for body and chocolate, a washed Colombian for a little brightness and sweetness on top.
We roast it to a medium that’s forgiving on the machine and friendly with milk, because it has to perform from the first cup of a rush to the last. It’s what fills the hoppers at both bars.
At home it makes a generous, comforting espresso and an excellent stovetop moka. If you want one bag that just works every morning, this is it.

From bag to cup
Best as espresso — but it’ll take other methods too.
We grind to your method at the bar, or keep it whole for home.
Let them settle a few days after roast for the best cup.
Follow our brew tips, taste, and adjust to your palate.
