For espresso we have the Nicaragua Las Segovis, this is a Catuai & Bourbon blend that is fully washed. The varietals give an interesting flavour profile. It has a rich, syrupy, molasses body with a hint of orange. Our second espresso option is the Ethiopia Mustefa. This is a natural heirloom variety from the western province of Dijimmah and is silky and elegant with caramel sweetness and peach blossom aroma. For Filter we have the Ethiopia Karote, its a natural process coffee from from the Eastern region of Sidamo. It is sweet and syrupy with notes of stone fruit and...

This week we are excited to have the Ethiopian Mustefa available as both espresso and filter roast. While our regular natural processed Ethiopian from the Sidamo region has proved very popular, this coffee is from the Dijimmah region and natural processed as well. It is silky with caramel sweetness, the espresso roast has notes of strawberry while the filter roast has a peachy aroma. This is our last batch of the Costa Rica El Chayote which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The honey process really brings out a sweet fruitiness to the coffee, but in typical Costa Rican style its...

This week we run the ever popular Santa Quiteria from Brazil for espresso. This is the first of the coffees through that I bought on my trip this year. What I like about this coffee is the big, rich body with fresh tobacco notes that are elegant enough to be a standout espresso, but big enough to really cut through milk. I have also roasted the Ethiopian Karote as an espresso roast again. This coffee never ceases to amaze with its full chocolatey body, yet delicate floral aromas and fruity sweetness. Because you are all a greedy bunch, and that’s...

This week in Single Origin land we have the beautiful caramel, toffee, and maple syrup notes of the Kenya Sasini. It is very rare to get a pure Bourbon from this area and this washed example is delicious. We also have the ever popular full bodied jaffa flavours of the El Salvador Santa Maria. In filter catagories we have the Ethiopia Karote and its sweet, floral, berriness from this weeks roast.

Hi All, I'm very excited as this week we have the first of the coffee I bought on this years trip to Brazil. Hacienda Santa Quiteria was a great farm at the end of a city street. It was quiet surreal as there was no long drive on a dirt road to get there, it was just like turning into somebodys driveway. This is the first of the coffee we bought from them an it is full and nutty with hints of fresh tobacco leaves. We also have an exciting Guatemalan that we have been working on, its a blend but I...
Arrival of our new coffee blend 'Passport'
Posted by 6
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new blend, Passport. This blend is a seasonal blend, in every sense of the word. We come across some amazing beans as coffee professionals, and not all of them are produced in quantities that allow us to use them throughout the year. However we still want to utilise them in blends. As well as this, we don't all like drinking the same coffee all year around. In the scorching summer months, we look for light, refreshing coffees, and in the coldest depth of winter it's all about comfort coffee. Passport is...
