Our 2025 Christmas Coffee is here!

What festive flavours can you find in our 2025 Christmas coffee?

To mix things up a little for 2025, our Christmas coffee is a medium roast that offers delicious, traditional Christmas pudding-style flavours: rich treacle, a squeeze of sweet apricots, and the perfect, fruity balance from juicy cherries.

We’ve also got a fantastic new name for this year’s limited edition Christmas coffee, which you may have already spotted… Better Than Socks.

Where does the name come from? Well, you can’t get excited about a new pair of socks at Christmas (no matter how much you try), but this awesome, limited-edition coffee is guaranteed to be much, MUCH Better Than Socks.

Where were these festive beans grown?

Our 2025 Christmas coffee was cultivated in Burundi in Eastern Africa.

Specifically, Shikankoni Hill in Kayanza, a region known for its high altitudes (with the Christmas coffee grown at around 1,450 to 1,600 metres above sea level), abundant rainfall, ideal climate and nutrient-rich soil, which contribute to exceptional coffee-growing conditions.

Who produced this coffee?

Coffee production in Burundi has been supported in recent years by Cafex, a project founded in 2006 by a Belgian-Burundian couple to support local coffee-farming communities by ensuring fair wages and implementing sustainable agricultural practices to protect ancestral lands.

Cafex also seeks to improve living conditions in underdeveloped areas and ensures that everyone involved in the coffee-growing process is paid on time by introducing a weekly payment schedule that provides a regular income throughout the harvesting season.

How did we roast this brew?

This year, we wanted to deliver the traditional Christmas feel to your cup. To do that, our artisan roaster, Jordyn, dropped the beans at a lower temperature to create a medium roast and preserve the sweet, fruity flavours of the apricots and cherries.
