Coffee and Paste – Sample

While this coffee tastes awesome in every device, our favourites are an espresso machine, Aeropress & moka pot.

Head over to our brew guides for making coffee for more.

All of our coffees come to us from small farms and estates. This means that when a coffee has been harvested, processed and drunk, it has gone for good.

With our other coffees, we aim to swap coffee every 8-12 months. With this limited edition, this will change more frequently, most likely every 3-4 months.  The coffees available as limited editions will be interesting and diverse in flavour to each other and will not necessarily follow a pattern of flavour.

If you are looking to try new coffees every few months or so, then this could be for you.

Produced by the Ande Peruanos Coffee Producers Association near Jaén, Peru, this coffee is as good to society and the planet as it is to your mug. Why? Because Ande Peruanos is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping members improve their income and quality of life, as well as contribute to the sustainability of their coffee cultivation areas and the wider environment.

Established in 2020, Ande Peruanos has grown to include over 260 coffee farming families, creating strong, lasting relationships based on the shared values of responsibility, honesty, equality, and commitment. Worker’s rights and fair remuneration lie at the heart of Ande Peruanos, and all member growers focus on environmentally friendly crop management practices, taking care of the soil, water, flora and fauna in their region, as well as the people.

To determine the quality score of a coffee, a process known as cupping is used. Trained tasters known as Q graders will taste the coffee and score it dependant on a number of factors. A score of 80 points or higher is required to gain a speciality title. If it scores lower, it doesn’t make the grade. Fancy giving it a go? Read our guide about coffee cupping to learn more.

When we roast our coffees, we like to bring out and enhance their natural, amazing flavours. We don’t over roast any of our coffees, so we avoid any burnt or bitter tastes. The coffees that we roast are full of many natural flavours, it would be a shame to mask these or turn them into bitterness.

Some of our coffees will be very sweet and creamy, and others will be delicate and almost tea-like. We are thankful for the hard work and care that the coffee farmers put into growing these beans and want to do them proud when we roast their beans. We always aim to find a great selection of coffees and flavours that stand out from the rest.

The coffees that we choose are ethically sourced from small farms or single estates around the world. We purchase the best coffee and pay much more than the going rate price to the farmers – so when you buy coffee from us, you are in turn, helping the farmers. In fact, we pay between 30 and 150% more than the ‘going rate’ for coffee beans. This supports the farmers in their crop, their development and also ensures they have sufficient living conditions for them and their families.

We also keep the chain between the farmers and us as short as possible. A shorter chain means more of the money will make it to the farmer and their workers to spend on next years crops. So, all in all, buying one bag of coffee can make such a difference – thank you!
