Next on my Joburg adventure was a stop off at a coffee shop I had never heard of before, Jozi Blue. Jozi Blue is not just a coffee shop, but a coffee experience. Located in Glenhazel, Jozi Blue is run by barista, Shmuel, a passionate and incredibly well informed coffee aficionado.
Jozi Blue serve two options of espresso beans daily, one single origin African bean and a single origin Central American bean. You can also choose from a range of Bean There, Doubleshot or Union coffee beans to have as a pour over or espresso.
Shmuel’s aim at Jozi Blue is that everyone who walks in to his coffee shop will leave happier, and I must say he knows what he is doing.
Jozi Blue is not located in the hub of Joburg coffee shops, but trust me you want to make the detour to Glenhazel to meet Shmuel and try out his range of coffees. Espresso based drinks start at R20, or you can be a little adventurous and try one of the many specialty beans on offer, which go up to about R80 per cappuccino.
Here is a classification of their coffee bean categories…
- Economy class: Uganda. Guatemala, Indonesia, Isabela blend, Union blend.
- Business class: Bolivia, Panama Los La Jones, Panama Honey Catura, Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala Injerto.
- First class: Colombia La Esperanza (Geisha), Queen Panama (Geisha), Colombia La Pradera, Panama Finca Don-K.
