Mr. TOB

Mr. TOB House Blend

Mr. TOB is the signature house blend served daily in the TOB Coffee café in Rosedale, Auckland. Named after Young Jin CHA, the founder of TOB Coffee, this blend brings together café tradition, personal story, and a bold espresso profile made for everyday enjoyment.

The inspiration for Mr. TOB began in 2014, when Mr. Tob visited Trieste, Italy — a city strongly connected with espresso culture. Drawing from the rich, chocolate-led style often associated with Northern Italian espresso, he created a blend with the depth and full-bodied character many New Zealand coffee drinkers love.

Flavour Profile

Mr. TOB is a dark roast with a bold, balanced flavour profile. Expect notes of caramel and dark chocolate, with a complex finish that works beautifully through milk while still holding its own as a black coffee.

• Flavour notes: Caramel, dark chocolate, complexity
• Roast style: Dark roast
• Beans: 100% Arabica
• Origin profile: Carefully selected beans from Africa and Central America
