Introduction Welcome to the Brand Manual of Coffee&. This publication is designed to be a useful tool for all Parkwood staff in understanding the parameters and quality levels at which your coffee should be served on a daily basis.

Being one of the most experienced providers of Leisure Management in the UK, it is important that coffees are served consistently and to the same high standard across all sites.

About Bridge Coffee Roasters We are excited to be partnering with Parkwood in supporting you with serving coffee and the highest standard for your customer base.

For more than 30 years, we’ve been captivated by coffee. In 1985 when our Founder began selling coffee in Bristol, It was then we learned the incredible importance of quality in coffee and in customer-service. These lessons helped us grow and develop every year since then and are just as important to us now as they have ever been.

We all know that coffee is made to be shared and everything we know and do, comes from sharing our passion and knowledge and from the hard-working farmers, baristas and business who have shared their knowledge and vision with us. This 30-year partnership with our customers, suppliers and industry experts means we can give you a breadth of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm which we proudly believe is unparalleled.

Our commitment is to bring you the ultimate coffee experience, one that is responsibly produced, from seed to cup. This is not merely ideology. This is everyday practice.

Every coffee has: Specific Social Impact in each region.

Sustainable environmental practices in place.

Traceability directly to specific farms or community of farms (co-operative).

Brand Standards Manual |

It’s a product of extensive care and dedication, passed down through the generations. We honour that work by interfering as little as possible, roasting carefully to bring out all the flavours. In this way, each coffee can tell its own story – coloured by its own heritage

05

Our Roastery – the heartbeat of what we do.

Coffee is our passion. We are dedicated to roasting only the highest quality coffees so that all our customers can enjoy the finest flavours – every cup is a truly memorable experience. Our state-of-the-art roastery incorporates the very latest automation, guaranteeing consistency in every batch and providing peace of mind to our growing client base.

Our mantra is SOURCE | ROAST | BREW | REPEAT. Our coffee beans come from farmers who use ecologically and socially sustainable practices, helping to support a healthy ecosystem and to provide a fair living for their workers. These are the only farms that can produce the high quality coffee we use. The care that goes into growing, shipping and finally roasting these coffees is reflected in the flavor of the finished product, which is why we are so precious about every stage of the coffee bean journey. To make sure that every coffee is exactly as our customers expect, we ‘cup’ every coffee we roast, the day after its roasted and every single coffee is traceable back to to the farm.

Brand Standards Manual | 11

Types of Coffee There are many different types of coffees you can make and how you make them is crucial to the taste of the coffee. It’s important to know the difference between each coffee

Brand Standards Manual |

Espresso

Americano

Latte

An espresso is typically a single shot of coffee, usually served in an espresso cup that is narrow towards the bottom to allow the crema to float on top. Another version of the espresso is the double espresso, which is a double shot of coffee, which is of course far stronger.

The americano is simply made by adding hot water to a shot of espresso. The strength of the americano is determined by the number of espresso shots that are added. The amount of water you add to your americano depends on how strong you want it to be, but typically if you add a single shot you add the same amount of water.

Latte is one of the more common drinks served in cafes. A latte is prepared using one shot of espresso and then steamed milk is dispensed into the espresso.

Cappuccino

Flat White

Mocha

Another very popular coffee choice in the UK is the cappuccino.

This popular drink is made up of a shot of espresso and hot milk, topped with steamed milk foam to finish. The foam on the top of the cappuccino helps retain heat.

The flat white is created by pouring creamy steamed milk over a shot of espresso, creating a far lighter foam on the top of the drink. Typically deamed as a stronger coffee as served as an 8oz Drink.

A mocha is prepared the same way as a latte; however, the only difference is that chocolate syrup is added to the cup prior to making the drink. The mocha can contain either dark or milk chocolate.

Filter Coffee

Monkeyliscous is served in a 8oz cup, the machine dispenses 5oz of hot chocolate and then needs to be topped up with 3oz of cold milk to be suitable for children.

A well balanced and rounded coffee, created using a drip brew method to extract all the flavours from the coffee.

Babychino is served in a 8oz cup, the machine dispenses 5oz of hot milk and then needs to be topped up with 3oz of cold milk to be suitable for children.

Estate Grown Teas from East Africa About Birchall Birchall is a family-owned British tea company based in London with roots in the trade dating back over 140 years to Darjeeling, when Captain Birchall Graham first planted tea. Today, their teas are served daily on every major UK high street and they are now one of the world’s largest exporters of East African teas, shipping approximately 40 million kilos of black tea worldwide per annum from their buying offices in London and Mombasa.

Birchall believe that every cup of tea should be bright, delicious and bursting with full flavour.

That’s why they source their blended and single origin black teas exclusively from the finest tea estates across East Africa, from Rwanda through to the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, where the very best teas are to be found.

Birchall’s dedication to quality ensures that all of their tea leaves are hand-plucked.”

Tea in a Socially Responsible Way

Brand Standards Manual |

Although Birchall is dedicated to creating fine tasting tea, they also work hard to ensure that all their teas are sustainably sourced in a manner which respects both the environment and their tea producers.

Birchall is a long-standing member of the Ethical Tea Partnership, which they work with collaboratively to raise ethical standards of industry-wide practices. They are also proud to hold full certification from NGOs the Fairtrade Foundation and the Rainforest Alliance.

Award-Winning Black Teas Birchall specialise in single origin and blended black teas, the summation of knowledge passed down through five generations. They source their signature Great Rift and Virunga black teas from estates across East Africa, from Rwanda through to the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, where the very best teas are grown

Unrivalled Quality and Expertise Today, Birchall is one of the world’s largest exporters of black tea from East Africa but whilst their rich heritage, expertise and passion for creating perfect blends is reflected in their award-winning black teas, it’s also reflected in their growing range of green teas and speciality Infusions.

Expertly Sourced Green Teas Birchall’s speciality Green Teas are rich in anti-oxidants and light on caffeine. Like their signature black teas, each whole leaf green tea delivers a superior level of taste and fragrance that captures the unique essence of the regions in Asia where they are cultivated.

“A tea for every serving occasion and taste” Brand Standards Manual | 19

Fruit & Herbal Infusions Birchall’s carefully curated selection of caffeine free infusions includes a tisane to suit every serving occasion and taste. From herbal classics, like Camomile and Peppermint, to such contemporary favourites as Lemongrass & Ginger and Redbush, each of their infusions is vibrant and rich in flavour, and every one has won a Great Taste Award.

Looking after Coffee We are proud of every coffee we produce and of every bean which leaves our state of the art roastery.

To produce the very best speciality coffee, we work with carefully chosen farmers who grow the beans sustainably and provide a fair living for their workers. The beans are then carefully shipped to us and we expertly roast them to bring out every subtle flavour and aroma. Then we carefully package them and send on to you, but the moment they leave us they become subject to four environmental factors which can easily diminish their brilliance.

If you are storing in a container it should then be kept in a dark place which retains a steady cool temperature: this does not include a fridge as the temperature is not low enough to preserve the beans to any greater extent than a naturally cool area and it will encourage moisture to gather on the coffee.

All of the advice so far has related to roasted beans: for ground coffee the danger of degradation from the environment is even more urgent as the surface area of the coffee is multiplied by an astronomical factor by being ground. Ground coffee essentially starts going off immediately, this is why it is inadvisable to pre-grind your coffee in a commercial speciality setting but instead to grind on demand and use the grounds immediately.

Gradually, air, moisture, heat and light rob the beans of their freshness. As beans go stale the evidence becomes apparent quickly. The taste and aroma of the brewed coffee suffers first, all the things which makes your customer’s coffee so special just fade away, the beans become dull and dry and they no longer have that beautiful scent every time you open up the pack.

If the beans are exposed to moisture, this can lead to fermentation. The moisture encourages the growth of bacteria, yeast and other microorganisms which gradually break down the beans.

Light and heat act similarly on the beans: both cause the beans to heat up. Heat increases the speed of any chemical process which means that the oxidisation with whatever little air may be with the beans is accelerated, as is fermentation caused by unavoidable natural ambient moisture. On top of this, the natural oils which are still in the beans, and which make our freshly roasted beans look so beautiful when you open your latest delivery from us, evaporate much more quickly than they would otherwise.

With this in mind, there are four key things which you need to do to keep your beans as fresh as possible for as long as possible: keep them sealed away from air movement, keep them in a dry place, maintain a relatively constant cool temperature and keep them away from the light.

For these reasons the most common storing suggestion for roast coffee beans is in air-tight containers. However, beans shouldn’t be placed into a container like this until at least three days have passed after they have been roasted. For this period the beans undergo degassing: they continue the process of releasing (predominantly) carbon-dioxide which started in the oven. This is why fresh, speciality coffee beans are often supplied in bags with small plastic pressure-release valves which allow the degassing to continue unhindered.

Once this period has passed though, storing in their bag for a short period is more than acceptable and for a longer period an opaque airtight container is appropriate. It is worth bearing in mind, though, that although the beans will store in a reasonable state this way for a longer period it is advisable to use freshly roasted, speciality coffee beans like ours within approximately three weeks of their roasting date.

Brand Standards Manual |

The chief issue for the beans is the oxidation which occurs when they are in contact with the air, the physical composition of the chemicals in the beans is changed by contact with oxygen and the flavours and aromatics are physically transformed and deteriorate.
