Roasted Hazelnuts coffee in London
1 speciality roast from 1 London roaster feature roasted hazelnuts notes.
Roasted hazelnut in the cup presents as a warm, slightly sweet nuttiness with a gentle toasty depth, distinct from the sharper bitterness of darker roast notes. It carries a smooth, rounded quality on the palate, often accompanied by a faint oiliness reminiscent of freshly roasted nuts. This character typically arises from the Maillard reaction during roasting, where natural sugars and amino acids in the bean develop complex browning compounds, and it is most commonly associated with medium roast profiles that preserve some sweetness whilst introducing dry, roasted complexity.
Park Coffee captures roasted hazelnut notes in their carefully selected Brazilian coffees, delivering a warm, toasted nuttiness that emerges through their roasting approach. This flavour profile develops naturally from the beans' origin, with the roasting process coaxing out those deep, comforting hazelnut characteristics that linger pleasantly in the cup.

How roasted hazelnuts notes develop
Coffees from Central America, particularly those grown in Guatemala and Honduras, often develop roasted hazelnut notes due to their mild acidity and balanced sugar content, which respond well to medium roasting. Brazilian naturals and pulped naturals are also often associated with this note, as the processing method tends to produce a clean, nutty sweetness that carries through into the cup. Washed coffees from lower-altitude growing regions, where the bean density is moderate rather than extreme, can also typically express this quality when roasted to a suitable level.
What to look for
On a bag or café menu, look for tasting notes that include words such as hazelnut, almond, praline, or toasted nuts, as these often sit within the same flavour family. A medium roast designation is a useful indicator, since lighter roasts tend to favour fruit and floral notes whilst darker roasts move towards more bitter, smoky characteristics. Brew methods that produce a clean, full-bodied cup, such as a cafetière, Chemex, or espresso with a medium grind, tend to allow roasted hazelnut notes to express themselves clearly without being masked by excessive acidity or dilution.
