Beechworth:
Larder Fromagerie & Provisions
The Larder in Beechworth uses St. Ali coffee and is highly recommended by the locals. St. Ali is a specialty coffee roasters based in South Melbourne. Their coffee is really about quality. It's the quality of the seed used, the unique soil conditions and climate. Akin to terroir, St Ali sources their beans from areas with the right growing conditions and farming techniques, to ensure exceptionally high quality coffee.
At Larder they use the Chompy blend. The blend is comprised of the highest quality Arabica beans, lightly roasted in small batches. It is created with Sumatran (Blue Batak Estate), Brazilian (Delarisse & Ipanema Estates) and Columbian (Curazao Estate) beans. It's big bodied with bold chocolatey notes with low acidity and a dark chocolate finish.
"Gina owner of the Larder says..... St Ali coffee is a blend of the highest quality Arabica beans, not bitter just smooth and delicious, every time. Our signature cake is delicious Castagnaccio. A traditional northern Italian cake made from chestnut flour, raisins, pine nuts and rosemary and a great combination with coffee."

The Beechworth Provender
A top coffee spot in Beechworth is The Provender.
They use " Grata Espresso" roasted by Custom Coffees in Bendigo -Provincial Victorias first coffee roaster.
Beechworth Provender's "Divina" is a BIG Coffee. It has strong, resonant aromatics, and satisfying depth from a high roast style. The Arabica beans including Niguaraguan, Costa Rican, and Ugandan, give it a rich full body, and a velvety smooth texture. It has exceptional sweetness which compliments the winey chocolate characters nicely, as well as a hint of vanilla up front and a touch of smoke and spice in the nose.
Beechworth Provender's Divina makes an awesome, syrupy short black, a perfectly balanced long black with soft floral overtones, or a deep and well rounded milk based coffee brewed to perfection in a Veneziano machine adjusted perfectly for the task.
Organic sourdough muffins (warmed on a winters day), panforte, figs in dark chocolate, catanies or flourless chocolate cake make perfect accompaniments to this cup of coffee.

GIgi's of Beechworth
At Gigis they roast their our own coffee from a blend of 5 different types of arabica to achieve a more chocolate and sweet flavour, after roasting their coffee they then let it age for a minimum of 4 days so as to release the essential oils, in roasting their own coffee you maintain the peak flavour that you miss out on with a lot of major brands. In the morning their home made Muffins are quite popular with a coffee.

The Genovese Super Brazil blend combines the best of these characteristics to make an espresso coffee that resembles the Italian Style of the early 1950s.
In all, Super Brazil is a blend that makes a great coffee regardless of the style.
